Commenting here for visibility for people considering purchasing this game on sale.

From FEYADA (creator of this game) themselves:
"If you spent $10 - you will receive a new version on the day of its release.

If you spent $5 - you will receive a new version in 1-2 weeks after the release.

If you spent 1$ - you will receive the penultimate version of the game as soon as a new version is released."

To clarify, if you paid $5 (50%) off, you will still not have the $10 version.

Yes, you read that correctly. You in fact have the $5 dollar version. So you will get access to updates 1-2 weeks after the release. The "50% off" is deceptive marketing to make you think you are getting the $10 version. You are not. You are getting delayed access.

This is a great game, but a real shame FEYADA has opted to use such misleading methods to monetise their game.

The game is on sale for $10. But we're selling it for $5 in 2 weeks. Is that bad?

Honestly its a bit misleading as Im sure those who purchased it on sale at the time was under the impression they would receive updates when they come out not have to wait an extra 2 weeks.

It its a little confusing how this all works. Especially if I bought this game on sale months ago. I'm pretty sure there wasn't a $20 tier at the time, but I could be miss remembering. Adding to the confusion my download page only has .10C but states the following "Thank you for purchasing Knightly Passions [0.15a version] (Adult Game) 18+ by FEYADA."

I've enjoyed the game and don't mind waiting. However communication on how your pricing works could be better.

Try it now. Showing the latest version?

You are arguing the wrong point. In the current purchase tiers, there is no "$10 version," right? There is a $20 tier that you can buy for $10 on sale. You can download the latest version immediately upon release. I bought it about 9 hours ago and had no issue downloading 0.15a. There is a $2 tier that you can buy for $1 on sale, and it will be one version behind the latest release.

Now, I don't know if there was only a $10 tier and no $20 tier before. If there was only a $10 tier and no $20 tier, and folks bought the $10 tier (whether it was on sale should be irrelevant to the purchase tiers) thinking they were buying into the top tier but actually buying into a hidden second tier with delayed access to the latest version, then I think you have a legitimate complaint.

In FEYADA's post, it only said that "If you spent [emphasis mine] $5 - you will receive a new version in 1-2 weeks after release." This statement should be construed only as a promise that if you bought into the hidden $10 tier on sale for $5, you will receive the new version 1-2 weeks after release. If you buy into this tier after FEYADA explained it and do not get 0.15a in 2 weeks time, then you have another legitimate complaint.

I was tempted to spent $5 (sale price) under the current tiers just to see if I get 0.15a in 2 weeks. Because of what I saw of the free 0.8 version and certain posts I saw by FEYADA in the comments, I opted to just give a bit more support and not deal with the hidden tier with delayed access, which is really more suitable for Patreon than Itch.

You're right! This is probably how it works. You opened my eyes. Now I will think about how to make everyone happy.

Izzy's Itch1 year ago

Ha. Make everyone happy. Good luck. :) I hope you get the support you need to keep making this game the way you want.
