We can do early buyer hats no problem. Can't do pets this time because pets aren't in yet on release, and they'll work differently in that you won't "own" them. When implemented, you'll find them in cages and after freeing them they'll follow you around for the rest of that game. Edit: May do an "all characters unlocked" bonus too? Not sure on this one. Otherwise the Spellsword and Cultist are locked until you beat the main game as some of the other characters. They're the advanced classes.
Definitely glad to hear about the early adopter hats. Im liking the sound of the pet mechanic as well, hadnt heard many details about them. As for the unlock, im kinda torn. On one hand like having something to shoot for, on the other I really like all kinds of options as well. Would probably lean more in favor of having all classes up front as an early adopter. Either way, cant wait.
Yeah personally I would like to have to unlock the classes as it's more fun that way. Maybe early adopters start with 2 or 3 instead of 1?
There's only two unlockable classes, the rest are all available at the start. It'd probably be all or nothing for the unlockable idea. There's still tons of stuff to do in the game in terms of progression, so I think we will end up going for "all classes unlocked" for early backers.
For what it's worth... I respect Rocketcat for their firm prices, I think that shows a lot of integrity.
Great news on the upcoming submission. Much like Undeadcow, I have a lot of respect for you guys and your firm pricing on the AppStore and the fact you always release quality games. I've felt like I got great value for what I've spent on all my purchases from RocketCat. This will be a day one purchase whenever Apple gets it approved.
This is my most anticapated game this year lol weird because I am getting ps4 but this game is amazing I can already tell I loved Mage gauntlet and a lot of the titles out now haven't shown any promise like this one
Thanks everyone! Recent Wayward Souls news: The game got selected for both the PAX East and GDC showcases. Pretty nice. Sent the game to a small handful of streamers. Hoping to post some streams of the game coming up. Doing bugfixes and putting the hats and achievements back in. Trying to get all the launch preparation stuff out of the way. Then submitting.
How about making it optional? If I want to have to unlock them, could I opt to not start off with them unlocked? Like, Thanks for buying! Heres some free things! Do you want these unlocked too? Yes/No
Maybe. I wonder if that would be worth the confusion for most people though? "What the hell is this about?"
We have a little bit more to wrap up. We also have to decide if we want to submit it ASAP, or take a little bit of extra time to completely finish off the fourth area of the game. This also happens to be the biggest, most difficult area. It's a tough call.
