Hello people! 1) First of all, some people told me that they could not see the trailer. This may be because the trailer has adult content and if you are not logged in to Twitter(X) it will likely not be shown. However, I uploaded it today to Dropbox in 60 FPS and a much higher quality than Twitter(X) for those who have not been able to see it, I leave here the link in case you want to download it. πŸ˜‰ (Thanks Simon for letting me know about it)

Innocence Or Money Season 2 Official Trailer πŸ‘‰ https://www.dropbox.com/t/Mff2c2DC5w93UtLg

2) Second point of the day, I have seen some comments from you indicating that you would like the game to be released now and not wait for Steam. I fully understand that it is a bit frustrating, especially because we all want more Jen, however this will create a balance that is best for the future, and this does not mean that I only give priority to Steam, in fact, you can not even imagine the criticism I received from Steam, because on that other platform they received version 0. 03 and then the remastered one, that means that 4,5,6,7 and 8 were released on Patreon and not on Steam, imagine the fury that has been on the platform having to wait for 5 updates before having the game there... So with this decision, everything will be more balanced.

I know from the first moment that the publication I made indicating that there will be a joint release was going to bring criticism (I don't expect people to smile if I indicate that it will take longer πŸ˜…) but, why did I do it? Because since day one when I started developing the game I have always been honest, and although the game has grown a lot and is incredibly popular, I will keep that honest and close style with everyone who is here, for me, that style, with its good and bad things has been what has created this incredible community, so that style will continue even if from time to time it brings criticism or makes me lose some subscribers. I could have sorted things with a lie, but no, I'll stay true to myself. πŸ™‚(I haven't deleted any of the criticisms I received in yesterday's post because I only do that when people are disrespectful or mean spirited, and so far, everyone making criticisms is expressing their views with good manners, something I, for one, appreciate. Anyone who wants to see the criticisms, well, there they are!)

3) Third point of the day, someone told me that the higher tiers mentioned that the access was before the official launch, honestly, I haven't checked the texts since I created them almost 2+ years ago, so the description now is incorrect due to the new joint launch politic. I will change them tomorrow so they reflect correctly every description.4) Last point of the day, I will continue as always informing you all, as soon as I have news from Steam I will let you know, from my point of view, this episode is the best so far and includes many new features that will allow me to expand the game with new features (I do not go into details because I'm a programming geek and may bore you, you want Jen, not information on functions and conditionals 😝) But what is coming is really good, I am anxious for you all to see it. πŸ˜‰

And... I don't know if there are more points to talk about πŸ˜… if I find something more, I will keep writing!

I wish you all a great week! 🍺

Oh! Let's finish with a pic of our Jen!!! 😍😍😍

I guess the higher tiers aren't getting early access anymore? Is that their concern? I kind of see their point if that's the case.

marcialart

Hey bubbles! πŸ‘‹ The concern is that the tiers text right now indicate that the access is before launch, and now, that is not right because the launch with Steam will be sync'd. So I've to change the text to indicate that the lower tiers now have access post the initial launch or something like that. I'm still wondering what's the best approach on how to re-write the texts.

EosTamar

It's not just the tiers are described incorrectly right now since that part is understandable since you changed course on how your developing the game. I think the underlying concern, at least for me, is that there is a difference between people who have this on Steam and those here on Patreon. So, when I read your post yesterday I had a feeling you'd be getting a lot of push back.

marcialart

Hello EosTamar! Yes, aside from yesterday's post I explained the reasons in other post (https://www.patreon.com/posts/saturday-pics-of-106277842) The balance has always been incredibly unbalanced towards Patreon (as I commented in this post, Steam did not even receive V 0.04, V 0.05, V 0.06, etc) and I am looking to start Season 2 balancing things more for all platforms, the truth is that any decision I make will bring criticism. SoI take the one that I think is best for the future, being, as always, 100% clear and honest with everyone here, with the information I give, everyone can make their decision. πŸ™‚

GRRM

Reading your previous comment, something funny or maybe ironic flashed into my mind and I couldn't help not to mention it here. I know all this game about is corrupting Jen (hence the name Money). And some people said, where is the innocence path? (I think I saw this comment on Steam). The innocence path is actually on you, Marci! Maybe Innocence is not the correct term, but HONESTY and INTEGRITY are the code you always had. Being honest about your concern on piracy is not an easy thing to do. Willing to accept all the criticism took some courage. And you did all of that over the possibility of more money if you just give the game right away to everyone on higher tier list. So, I think we got all the title promised. Innocence (you, Marci) or Money (our lovely Jen). So wholesome :)

Kane0ne

So I, as a gold tier, have no problems with early access because I chose this level to support Marcial and his project. I could also have taken the bronze tier, for example, which also has early access from 1 week before the official launch. As I said, I have gold tier because I support him, of course I can hardly wait to play the game and I'm absolutely hyped for Jen, but I can understand Martial and support him in his decisions and if that results in another 2 weeks of waiting then that's just the way it is. He does such a good job and it's definitely worth the wait.

El trabajo duro que haces se que muchos de aqui lo valoramos y estamos agradecidos el juego en verdad tiene mucho potencial y puede seguir evolucionando estamos anciosos por probar lo nuevo muchas gracias <3

Brassmoustach

Hi Marcial, You do realise that when you give your loyal subscribers early access to an official release we also act as BETA tester to help you clean up any bugs/errors that may have slipped in, like John in Jen's panties, without your notice. This is also what the community is about, not just supporting you but helping you to get your game polished.

LLAN

Haha, I cancelled my subscription to the subscription star and came over here to support it. There are more comments here. Two years ago, I also posted a game on Steam. Based on my experience of listing, it seems that it will take some time to purchase after the store page is approved, and I have forgotten how long it will take.

Looking at your comment #2 it seems to me that is an issue between you and the steam players and not us. It's not our fault that they have to wait for it to be released on steam. Like I said on the other post. If they want the first crack at this then they should become a member here. Until then they can wait. No offense bud but this makes me rethink my membership here. If the steam price is cheaper than what I have contributed to you on this site and you will be doing it this way from now on I may cancel my membership here. It just doesn't make sense to me to pay more for this than what it will cost on steam.

marcialart

Hahaha, thanks a lot GRRM! That point of Innocence Or Money is pretty fair and coherent. πŸ˜πŸ™‚ Since the size of the communities is very big, criticism will come one way or another, especially when the game has become so popular. I like to read all the comments to have different points of view, and in the end, I try to make the best decision and focus on developing the best game possible. 🀩 Piracy is indeed unstoppable, but it is something that I take into consideration and one of the reasons that I'm seeking a balance between platforms, I don't want people that are willing to support to see the game on pirate forums before they can get it. it's not easy to take a decision when the game and community is so big, but I've to do it, and I'm ready to receive criticism, it's impossible that hundreds and hundreds of people will all agree or understand. πŸ™‚ Thanks for your comment GRRM!

marcialart

Thanks a lot, KaneOne!!! Your words are truly appreciated. 🀩 I just seek to develop the best game possible for everyone πŸ™‚, and at the same time offer the best value for money, the higher tiers were created just for that, for people who want to support more. Since the beginning of IoM, the lowest tier and the highest tier received the exact same game, with no hidden features or hidden scenes; I would like to stick to this model because it allows me to go faster in the development (especially because I'm only one person) and for everyone to enjoy the full IoM experience. 🀩 Thanks again KaneOne! πŸ˜‰

marcialart

Muchas gracias el patron!!! 🀩 Siempre busco hacer lo mejor posible e incorporar cosas nuevas para siempre ir mejorando la experienca IoM, y la temporada 2 serΓ‘ un reflejo de eso, lo que viene es bueno bueno! πŸ˜‰ Un saludo patron!!!

marcialart

Hello Zhu!!! Welcome πŸ€— yes, SubscribeStar was like a "Plan B" platform in case Patreon suspends me due to the nature of the content. 😝 this one is much more alive, especially the Discord. What you say is correct, the Steam page has to be active for a while before you can make the purchase (it seems to me that it is a marketing strategy of them) if not, they do not let you activate the game. What is your game? I would like to check it out, you can reply here or send me a DM. πŸ˜‰

marcialart

Hey GyuSeok! πŸ‘‹ Pantyhose note taken! πŸ˜‰

It's your decision TokyoGhoul, do what you think is right, make sense, and is best for you, if you want to cancel here and just be on Steam it's ok, it's your decision. πŸ™‚

Just one more thing... You may be losing a lot of your subscribers on this page. Is it really worth it to you to go down this road?

Emil Mogollon

What is really incredible and I don't understand is that MarcialART prepared an amazing trailer and nobody has mentioned it!!!!! The trailer is amazing and looks so professional, thank you very much for posting the link to download it. About the people complaining, don't listen to them MarcialART, it's because we all want more Jen and we can't wait haha. Here you have someone who found you on Steam and also became a Patreon because I love what you do, keep it up! There are many of us who support you.

LLAN

I sent you a private message

marcialart

Hey Emil! πŸ‘‹ Thanks a lot, I'm glad that you liked the trailer! 🀩We all want more Jen, it's understandable! 😍😍😍 Thanks for your comment!

marcialart

I just sent you a PM TokyoGhoul, please check your messages.

LoopyWolf

I briefly spoke to you about this a couple weeks ago Marcial but seeing more people comment on it. I still 100% agree with their criticism regarding the Steam release. Obviously with power of hindsight and the fact the patreon tiers had incentives with early access and the fact loads of people have been here supporting all these years. More specifically this past year since we last got a new update. I definitely think this whole situation could've been dealt better. Its a bit late now but the idea I had was, you could've release this new update as normal and Steam later. Then change it round to what you are doing now for the next update. That way people that have been supporting this past year would still be rewarded. But now know the situation for next update and can decide if thats something they still want to support.

Angelo

It's true and we are waiting a real update from 16 July 2023...!!

Brassmoustach

Can anyone point me to the post informing us of the tier price increases that I noticed have changed today, I never got an e-mail and I can't seem to find it in past posts.

marcialart

I have never increased or changed the prices from the tiers since they were created. Some things are criticisms, but to start making comments that are not true is starting to cross the line.

Brassmoustach

On Monday it showed my tier was the Β£4.50 today I noticed it got changed to Β£5.50 I've been checking to see if you removed the 1 week before official release part that you said you were going to do which is how I noticed, that's why I was asking, having now checked my bank details I can see I got charged Β£5.50 on my last sub so its fine. but it was showing Β£4.50 which is way I was asking, sorry to jump the gun and not check first.

marcialart

Ok, don't worry. I'm sorry for the tone, Brassmoustach , but since there 5 or 6 people making criticisms in the last posts, I'm a little in offensive mode. 😜

Neversnake

hey the steam page is delayd i guess. Is everything OK? when can we expect release after steam approves the page?

marcialart

Hello Neversnake! πŸ‘‹ Everything is ok, but Steam is taking too long, so long that if I don't get a reply soon maybe I will have to change the launch strategy, I will wait a little more, and I will keep everyone informed about the situation and the decisions in case I don't see progress with them soon.

Angelo

Hi Marcialart,launch strategy means that we don’t wait usual 7 days before?Have a nice day

Neversnake

It means he may have to launch it On patreon or other platforms earlier than steam since steam takes unneccesarily too long to review and make the game public

Tre_Zen

I know this was a couple of days ago, but to clear this up, the extra Β£1 is VAT, which MarcialART can't do anything about, and because the amount is UK specific likely doesn't even know about for sure because each country will have it's own rules for that and I believe it's handled at Patreon's end, not the creators. That's likely why MarcialART was as confused about the discrepancy as you were
