Content

Hello hello, this poll is for all you lovely people that help support the game. 

Thanks to all the patrons, we've completed most of the artwork for the main storyline. I'm going to be making the main storyline free for everyone, which leaves me with only one reason to pledge, the full game.

I think Queen's Brothel is worth more than $1 now. The $1 pledge got us from all black and white images, to a fully colored game with tons of sex scenes. If people are going to pledge to download the game while I work on the side quests, I think $5 is a worthy pledge for the amount of content they're going to get going forward. I pay the artists lots of money for these sex scenes and outfits, and it takes up my time to come up with the dialogue for side quests.

If I continue creating side quests and asking artists for more artwork, I think I need to make the early access pledge cost $5 instead of $1.

Because of the cost of artwork and sound assets, are you okay with the early access pledge costing $5 instead of $1?

And for the international folk, is $4 a better option than $5? I know Patreon fees/taxes can be annoying.

Please note, this is not final. I want your input before I make this decision.

I've never commented but I just wanted to say I've been following from the very beginning and I Love all the work you do, I understand making a game is not easy and art can be a pain in the ass sometimes but you've made a game I really enjoy playing so thanks for all the hard work.

I rly don't mind, just keep that sexy art coming! maybe some new animation :D

If 5 bucks a month means more content in the game, then absolutely

I'd be a re-occuring monthly pledge at 2-3$. 5$ though starts registering in my mind as an actual "cost" and I'd pop in every few months to grab an update and then unsub for a bit. It seems as though you do have a ton of hardcore fans!

DPMaker

Thanks Madelyn, I appreciate your long time pledge. People like you are the reason why the game is filled with so much great artwork now.

DPMaker

I agree, $2-$3 is way more friendly than $5. The reason why I chose $5 is because I think I will be providing $5 worth of updates each month. If I spend ~$700 for a side quest each month, then the $5 price tag doesn't seem too bad.

Been enjoying the progress this game has been showing. Well worth upping my support to $5/month (annual charge as I am still frugal in some ways). Your new artists deserve support, neh?

DPMaker

Absolutely, I highly recommend the annual charge if you're a long term type of person. The artists are carrying me, it would be an honor to provide them with more money so they can keep bringing you and I more content.

Looking at the tiers again and $5 is fine. I saw the 3k goal, and thought you might consider looking into AI generated music such as Aiva in the interim.

DPMaker

I have a music person! No worries. I've actually gotten some music done, but it is in the back log because 99% of the money goes towards art. Looking forward to showing you guys the BGM

I usually don't go for higher tiers because I don't play monthly releases. I might check out a game every few months at best since I prefer having the full experience. That being said I have seen the effort you put into this through the regular updates so if I knew how long it would take to finish the sidequests I would easily be convinced to join a higher tier. I hope this makes sense? I have just become careful because a lot of projects just drag on to infinity and seeing and actual timeline would be what I personally would love to see. I know it is not an easy thing to make but just an approximation would be nice.

DPMaker

Absolutely. How about, minimum, one side quest a month? That's a few sex images, a new outfit, and a whole story. I can see that being doable, as soon as I finish the new code update.

Berzerk

Sounds great to me, is there like a plan on how many of these you will make? Or maybe how much time you would dedicate to making extra content for the game before final release?

DPMaker

That's a good question. I want to make sure the player has something to do when they unlock a new region so: Unlock a new region: Like 3~ side quests Unlock a girl: All previous regions should have some quests for that girl Until I get the feeling that the game satisfies all of that, I won't consider the game to be final.

DPMaker

Heya, are you having trouble unsubscribing? Looks like you're an annual sub so you shouldn't have to pay til next year.

You can turn off individual creator's notifications in your profile settings somewhere. I do the same thing to the people I pledge to.
