Is my understanding correct? If price of game increases in the coming months, we have to buy the game again but so as long as the price doesn't increase, we can get new builds for free right?! so if I buy 0.7, I will get 0.8, 0.9, v1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 ... v2 etc until the price increases?
If the price is going to increase in the future, how many times are you going to increase the price?
is there a benefit to buying the itch.io version now then buying later at the increased price of the game?
OR
is my understanding correct? every time you release new version, we have to buy the game again, and pay MORE money, so if v2.1 costs $30, then v2.2 will cost ANOTHER $30?!
is there a benefit to buying the itch.io version now then buying later at the increased price of the game?
we gonna increase the price on major updates only (0.X) by a few cents until we reach version 0.9. from there the game will be selling at a fixed price (we plan for around ~20 USD for early-access and around ~40 USD for the full game). after the 0.9 the game will require only one purchase.
whether you would like to pay for these updates or wait for the early-access release is up to you
Thanks for the answers, I cannot afford to support payments for the updates but I look forward to the early access release, one more question, will you switch to Steam like other devs? I hope you stick to itch.io or at least stick to it as an extra option for those that don't want to use Steam, not that I have anything against Steam, I use Steam for adult content often but I prefer itch always, something I noticed is devs end up having a partial release on itch.io and then completely ditch it so the one on itch.io is more of a demo at that point or is no longer being updated like the steam version
we definitely gonna have Steam. as for itch.io - we'd really like to keep it as an alternative, and I hope we will. depends on their policy, as of recently, they haven't been quite friendly to NSFW devs
