WE'VE HIT THE HALFWAY MILESTONE! I want to thank everybody for their continued support of Pouchie The Cat. May it be through reviews, or donations, they're all appreciated. I can now safely say that the game is now at the 50% completion mark, after over two years of development.
With that being said, projects like these can be incredibly time-consuming, especially when there's only one developer in charge. I've been developing this game practically solo since it's inception. Only being able to work on it when I have the energy. It has been a long road, getting from there to here, and the road has often been a difficult road, as I've had to create an overwhelming majority of the assets by myself, the coding through tutorials and improvising my own code, all the levels were designed by myself... I think you get the idea. It's been a lot of hard work.
Now I've been working on Pouchie for over two years now, and I would ideally want to not work another full two years getting the rest of it done. Which is why I've decided to make a decision to start charging for new releases of Pouchie The Cat going forward. Essentially, if the next update for example is Alpha 0.6, that version will be paywalled until Alpha 0.7 is built and released, and then Alpha 0.7 will be paywalled until Alpha 0.8, and so forth.
I'm hoping by doing things this way, as well as making a new and improved donation website that I can start getting money to help better develop this game, and possibly get started on other games as well! I have a couple of game ideas in the pipeline, one of which I'd be developing with a small team of people. Hopefully that will be something that'll interest you guys, once we're more at a point where I can talk about that. For now though, enjoy Alpha 0.5 of Pouchie The Cat!
