CHAPTER 7 | POLL - ABOUT THE RELEASE
- Release it in two parts. I want more SoA this year! 166
- Release the full update in January. I'm willing to wait to experience the chapter in it's entirety. 92
Hi guys,As mentioned in the last dev update, I have a couple of concerns/ideas floating around about this update. Considering this is a very large update with tons of new stuff (some stuff I want to do, but might not be able to do due to time constraints). My main concern is the subscriber retention. When I release a new chapter, I get a nice influx and boost, however that boost doesn't last very long. Which means after all the costs and money I put into the game, I end up with slightly more than what I got at my previous job. The issue is that is for one month only, the other months (typically 3 months), is far below what I earned before. I do know I have to make sacrifices and I'm okay with doing those as long as I can keep working on the game and my dream. I don't want to give up on this.So there's two options about Chapter 7. Release the full big update in January or release it in two parts and make sure those two parts are as good as they can be. (One part in December, the other in January/February). Obviously I'll try to squeeze in extra content such as an OogleFans scene in each update and make sure all the new systems are as good as they can be and work properly.Both have upsides and downsides. The main upside is that you'll get more SoA this year, the biggest downside is that if we split the chapter, it's not really meant to be split in two parts. (Meaning that the wait until the second part will be painful.)Even though the smartest choice (at least financially), would be to release in two parts. However, I would rather release it as a full update personally (even if that hurts me more). Now I'll do whatever you guys vote for. Please make this choice based on your OWN preferences and not vote what would be best for me.
