Important Changes Are Coming! (Patreon)
Content
Hi Patrons!
First things first, I must apologize for the lack of activity and updates, definitively 2020 hasn’t started as I expected… but this post isn’t about complaints, is about changes.
I’ll try to be as schematic and concise as possible to avoid any confusion that can be caused by my poor English 😉
Also, we want to thanks to all the people who left their thoughts on the survey.
Clarification
We said on a past post: "There are various reasons for these changes being the most important ones: You-know-who Terms, some ‘legal’ stuff and $$$." And I want to clarify that You-know-who Terms and ‘legal’ stuff are different stuff not related between them.
Change 1 - Versus X Studio and Waifustream
This is a change that we tried to make some time ago with no success and now is back again but this time will totally happen.
What does this mean?
First, our Art Patreon has ‘evolved’ to Waifustream.
Second, Omnia In Unum (all its sub-projects) and other short projects (like Midnight Assault, Lewd Fighter, etc.) will be moved onto Waifustream’s patreon.
Third, VXS Patreon (this patreon) will be for horror related projects. This means, Bioasshard, Punished Mai and the sub-projects from both of them.
If you are of one of those interested in all our projects, don’t worry, because sooner or later all the projects will be released for free. And also, we’re preparing and third way of supporting our projects (outside Patreon) in which you will find all our projects and content (including art and even some SFW stuff). This will take a bit but it will be launched someday ^^U
Change 2 No more early access
‘Someone’ contacted us and told us that to avoid problems it’s better to not get any benefit from Bioasshard and that the Early Access can be seen as “getting profit from it…” so, to avoid problems we’re going to have to forget about the early access on the project releases from now on. Links will be posted on our blog on day one for everyone.
We know that this is a very loved feature but we consider it a bit unfair. I really hate to see ‘you-know-who’ playing the releases day one while other people, that are supporting the projects, have to wait for days and even weeks.
This will affect the Fantasy Card System:
1-No cards will be public.
2-The cards will maintain its early access.
Change 3 Tiers and Rewards
Tiers and Rewards will suffer some changes as well:
1-Pigeon Tier will disappear…
Don’t panic!
We’re NOT going to delete it and force you to increase your pledge. But every time someone delete his/her pledge we’re going to update the limit number for Pigeon Patrons trying to avoid that more people pledge on this tier.
2-We're going to create a 5$ tier.
3-We’re going to create a couple of special tiers with some special rewards.
4-Rewards will be updated too. Mostly to reflect the changes (especially the early access one) and the presence of the Fantasy Card System.
5-And probably the in-game credits will be back as well.
6-There will be more art content about the projects from now on.
Change 4 Project List
Finally, I did it!
I have made the new version for the project list.
Note: This list is for all our stuff not only for VXS projects.
Bioasshard Arena Update
I’m working on fixing the Fatal Error as I previously mentioned. The main optimization part is done and I’m in the process of testing it. But it’s hard to test something you can’t reproduce. Anyway, if everything goes fine, we’ll be making a release in the next few days with JUST this “fix”.
As you can see for the changes, no more early access will be in place for our projects (even if this next release I talk about would release for everyone as it’s just a ‘bug’-fix release). This will probably have its impact. But please, keep something in mind, even if our games are free and can’t feature early access, we can’t make them without your support, so please think carefully if you’re going to stop the support because of the early access.
You’ll be seeing the changes happening in the upcoming days.
And I think that’s all for now.
Let us know what do you think about these changes.
