Kind of have the same feeling. Not a kickstarer backer for this particular game (you can't know about every kickstarter project and back everything). Would have hoped maybe a delay on public availability of an adult patch after kickstarter backers had their value and a pay extra option to those who hadn't backed would be the right way to go for the extra adult content.
Think I'll put this on my backburner list of games to think about, I have so many unplayed games
Just found out about this game and it sounded legit interesting... until I learned what you did, and I agree 100%. Frankly, the fact that potential paying customers are being locked out of content because they didn't pay in time is flat-out disrespectful towards paying customers.
That the developer is ignoring requests with "the game is still fun without it" does nothing to change the fact that regular players are being forced to buy an objectively inferior version if they want to experience it at all, and again comes off as disrespectful and apathetic towards the desires of potential customers. Releasing the 18+ scenes only to Kickstarter backers isn't rewarding them so much as it is punishing everyone else.
If the developer doesn't want to make Kickstarter backers mad by releasing content they paid extra for, they could always sell the patch at an increased price to what the backers paid, ensuring that the backers still get a benefit (they don't have to pay as much) while still allowing new players to experience all the game's content.
But until that happens, I'll be taking my money to games that don't feel the need to hide content from their players.
Yeah I'm not sure what ways you can reward backers in a fair way tbh.
I backed Dead Dating and one reward was that we got 18+ content but no one else will get it, just like this game.
Even though I got the 18+ content I still feel uncomfortable with that set up and wish everyone could get it.
I get that was my 'reward' as a sponsor/backer and I'm not sure what other reward would be better but I think it feels like backers who had money or knew about it early enough get the full game and others don't, even if it's not 'storyline' stuff.
I wouldn't make use of desktop background images and outside of physical rewards (which many devs can't afford to make), I'm not sure what they CAN offer us as a reward...
