I'm tickled so, so pink that you all find entertainment value in my writing! That is my free gift to you. You know what else is my free gift to you? THE WHOLE FREAKIN' GAME! Curtisrshideler and Sapphire_Neo, ya'll are justified in your concerns. I'd be wary, too, if I strolled into a game, got super invested in it, then took one big happy step forward only to have a pay-wall slam down on my foot. Here's the skinny, the scoop, the brassest of tacks- we use a free to play model, I confess it. We are, however, very, very keen on our non-paying players having a great experience alongside our paying players. We did our best to make paying for anything feel like an option rather than a necessity. There isn't a single purchase that you MUST make in order to advance, scout's honor. Over half of our IAP are cosmetic only (with so, so much more on the way). We are very concerned that, if a purchase cha-chings out of your phone, it's because you wanted to, not because you felt you had to. I've already heard from two separate players that they've made an in app purchase solely because they were won over by the charm and humor of our game. (How was THAT for a thinly veiled sale's pitch? I kid you not, though, this is the first time in my career that I've ever had a player tell me that. I cannot overstate how engorged I am with joy and maternal bliss to hear it.) All of that said, with ya'll's stances on f2p games, if ya give it a whirl I would love your feedback on how we did. If we did our jobs right, you should get hours of enjoyment out of this game without ever feeling stymied. curtisrshideler Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Jul 30, 2011 3,097 25 48 Male Video Producer/Editor Texas http://twitter.com/curtneedsaride #8 curtisrshideler, Jun 18, 2015 I appreciate your feedback and so quick too. I'll give it a download and try it out. I'm a sucker for Monster Hunter and the cats, so I am interested. I just love the premium model, so it's hard for me to find it peaceful investing time into the f2p model. But I am open to being enlightened on this one. curtisrshideler Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Jul 30, 2011 3,097 25 48 Male Video Producer/Editor Texas http://twitter.com/curtneedsaride #9 curtisrshideler, Jun 18, 2015 Well, downloaded it and played for a bit. It's definitely not my style. I was hoping for a little more Monster Hunter meets Final Fantasy III. Anyway, as a premium gamer, I was curious what would happen if my health fully depleted. Would it recharge over time or only be replenished by items won in battle/potions? Also, I didn't care for the timers on potions. I sat there watching my screen for a minute. Buzz kill. And then the price of clearing out the workshop seemed steep. 1000 gold to clear one pile of bills. Cute and funny idea, but it might take a while to do that, let alone clean the rest all while saving up for gear or whatnot. However, the writing is full of wit and whimsy. Enjoyed that quite a bit. And the cartoon graphics are pleasing. The music isn't my taste, but I can see others liking it. And controls are tap-to-move, which does work here. Overall, as a premium gamer, I'm not quite swayed. But I appreciate what you're doing and hope the best for you and the project. I'm sure there'll be plenty of gamers who want a turn-based cartoony Monster Hunter but don't want to pay anything upfront. And I'll send them all your way! Congrats on the release. rezn Well-Known Member Patreon Silver Mar 8, 2014 862 6 18 Male Coder/Keyer in medical ICD 10 Reno, NV #10 rezn, Jun 18, 2015 Glad to see you gave it a go. I was skeptical and as a premium gamer myself I had my eyes set on some other titles first. I did enjoy the developers comment above. It was clever. However I cannot afford to play games like that on top of my already expensive premium game addiction. Boom Beach was one of the first games that really got me. There's a real sickness involved with playing games like that, spending a few hundred dollars over time and then eventually deleting them. It ruins the possibility for nostalgia down the road. Either way this is cute. Glad the Dev was honest about it being that type of game and moreover happy to see you give it an honest go with real feedback. Lt.

Thanks for putting together that informative post, man! And making a gameplay video no less! If anyone is unsure about the game, scoot those hot-cross-buns of yours up to the second post and give Binlabu's video a peepin'. #2: Curtisrshideler, thank you from the deepest, dankest corners of my black, black heart. Even if it wasn't your cup o' tea, you gave us a shot and that's all I can ask <3 I feel a second, heartier thank you is in order for taking the time to give us some constructive criticism! If you've ever released your work out into the dusty wilds of the internet, you'll know well the fear of being pounced upon by a frothing-at-the-mouth feral gamer who sees the world only in black or white (mostly black). You are our best case scenario when it comes to someone who doesn't care for our work, and for that, a third time, I thank you <3 Next time you catch yourself in the mirror, give yourself a saucy wink and tell you Lt. Action sent ya. ;D Numero 3: Rezn, I am very glad you mentioned "nostalgia". For me the fostering and fulfillment of this sense is of the utmost. You know what I'm gonna say: give it a whirl ya ol' poot! As discussed above, we're in a place where, given our studio is an unknown and we have no reputation as of yet, f2p seemed the best model to execute in order to ensure we can afford to continue to develop. That said, I think our game definitely has the potential to foster some good ol' fuzzy feels without ever touching your wallet. I respect that you need to keep a close guard on your cheddar, but I gots to reiterate that there is plenty of fun to be had without ever even having to worry about pinchin' a penny. At the very least drop by this thread now and then; I've enjoyed our discussion AND I'm gonna be laying some pretty concept-art-eggs like the mother hen.

I'm tempted to search the Amazon Kindle store to see if Lt. Action has ever produced a book which I can purchase and consume at my leisure.
