Future financial plans, or "where your money goes"
🕑 Added 2017-12-21 12:54:40 +0000 UTC First of all, sorry for my inactivity here. A dev build ($4+) will be uploaded today and hopefully more regularly in the future.The two main things I want to talk about are financial plans and multiplayer, and what the latter has to do with you.
First, the money. I'm pretty sure I still need to pay off some assets, but at this rate it will be done very soon. Since there are not many assets I could buy for 3008 (an infinite IKEA requires rather specific assets, expect for furniture) I though of other ways how I could utilize the income to speed up development.
I definitely can't pay a freelancer, so I need to stick to hobbyists. However, to attract more devs and helpers, I plan to make a bounty system: Certain goals get a bounty (like a gameplay element that needs to be coded, or some animations, etc) and whoever delivers that gets the bounty. It will likely range from 5-50$.
Now to the other thing: Multiplayer. I will start working on MP in a few days. Until 0.4 is out, it will not be public, but apart from devs, two groups will be able to play it: YouTubers (with a minimum subscriber count that is yet to be decided) and all Patrons at $4 or above.
This way, it will attract more helpers and patrons. Helpers get to work on MP and test it, Patrons get to play and test it. And the YouTubers simply make the game more known. I won't ask bigger YouTubers to promote it yet - for now I will ask some SCP-related ones.
So, I can't tell when the first MP ready builds will be out, but as soon as I got something playable it will be posted for Patrons.
