@Johnvi76 what are you talking about "can´t afford it" ? perhaps people are tired of monthly subscription models, plus, it would make much more sense to pay a fair price once instead of X amounts dollars over multiple months without sein much progress, i think $10 would be a good price for a small Indie game. that type of model will come back in the future and wield much more in the long run

Basically you are saying that you don't like the game and won't support it like most actual lovers of the game 'Small indie game' hah that's only your wallet that's small if it is really small, and you can't keep paying just keep it for yourself or go to the damn discord if you have more problems or pay the 1 dollar.

Where do i start... 1. it was a suggestion for the mod, not for a little troll. 2. I do pay for other subscriptions to watch series that offer me a valid value in the form of new things to watch and adding something new every day. 3. perhaps your "brain" is smaller than my wallet, if you had read correctly, you would notice that i am very willing to pay, but once and not every month, other indie creators on this platform offer this option. 4. If you have several games on this platform you like, let´s say 10 or more, go on and pay 10+ Bucks per month, it´s your money, i had my fair share of paying for unfinished games. 5. If you compare this indie game to other successful ones, such as terraria, that´s under 5€ right now and has almost 700mb to download, I've spend over 800 hours into that indie game, how much did i pay ? i think it was around 15€ when i purchased it. And now tell me, why i should pay Monthly for 2-3 updates per year with rather small updates to the game. You just prove to me that your brain is smaller than my "small wallet". Go get a hobby you money wasting troll. If you want to throw money away that´s your decision, i am all for supporting indie devs, but in a fair way where i get my money worth in gameplay.

Look the game is free (always has been) sorry i love that meme. Anyways the subscription is just to support Rahi if you feel like it and you get some things in return. If you don't like it that's fine but it's a bit weird for you to constantly talk about not getting your money's worth. Especially when you pay $0 down and $0 a month just to play bdcc.

You don´t get my point, if Rahi would offer a one time payment, i would gladly pay it, if that game is a hobby project then sure, why not support a small developer ? I know the game is free right now, i am not 12. But perhaps the idea is worth to think about it and right now, IMHO 10$ are a realistic worth for the amount of content so far. The issue is to lash out at people and assuming people are broke, i read you original Text a few days ago, if you want to help Rahi out, try to avoid anything to get people angry. It´s nothing personal, but i´m tired of every single one trying to earn money with a subscription, youtube, several streaming services, battles pass and so on ... i don´t say it´s wrong, but see it as suggestion, i wont bother Rahi since she seems to be busy with her projects, if you like you can speak with her about this suggestion.

1. I understand you might pay $10 for this game but many people won't or can't. Rahi decides on how to do her business I doubt my suggestion would change her mind at this current point in time.

2. I don't lash out and assume people are broke. If you looked at my ads they also say "if you don't want to pay anything". I understand some people don't want to pay that's perfectly fine.

3. It's impossible to try and avoid getting people angry. No matter what you say someone will have a problem with it. In fact my original post talking about Rahi working on the game was worded to try and respectfully answer some questions and concerns. 

Hopefully this answers the main 3 points I saw in this.

just say your jobless and can't get money either way its your damn money (sadly) so use it as you wish small wallet and besides why the hell you played terraria for more then 800 hrs? its a fucking sandbox game I mean I like the game and play it but still not my money use it as you wish it is your fucking wallet and keep your suggestion for yourself just say you can't pay because you don't trust the developer to keep on doing his job you very sad about your lost money? get a job and stop complaining money is very easy to get if you just work for it and I'm not wasting money I had my 'investigations' and I always do them before supporting any damn dev and it proved that there is much to Rahi then meets the eye and I don't think she will abandon this game but is she magicly does then what? i used my money to support the dev that gave me a game to play

can you read ? i explained myself more than once, just read it once again, but since you need it in easier terms here we go: supportding devs = good, one time payment = good. paying a subscription = not good. is that easy enough for your last two braincells ? get yourself a job and move out you little troll. i paid my fair share for games that were shit in the end because i trusted the devs, one man sky and cube world are a good example i think, one of those is still bs. i bet you´re a american, go work your 2-3 jobs fulltime to pay your rent and eat some burgers at mc donald. you are blocked and reported, one more think and i´ll make sure you regret it

The whole reason of subscriptions for indie developers is to get funding/earnings to motivate their desire to keep going with the games as well as not get financial issues in the meanwhile. You can just go free like I do and not complain.

Big thing with that is if its a satisfaction thing, if getting paid is like one big Headpat or something than upvoted and praisal on the games development should be sufficient. Im not saying paying them is bad or anything but alot of developers go corrupt and then abandon games due to money. The financial issues part well lets just say the rich assholes that overcomplicate things and made everything difficult than it needs to be are in need of some real painful asskickings.

Motivation can decrease over time, there's something called a burn-out where you work so long on something it depresses you

Easy there I'm just saying if people don't have money to spend or if there is some situation causes them to be unable to pay that's fine.

 Keep in mind the game is free and is even open source. You can pay to support the dev or get access early but that's basically it. Rahi doesn't demand money but keep in mind one time payment doesn't pay monthly bills. If you want to support go ahead if not then that's fine. I don't want people to be embarrassed about it or pressured into it if you can't or don't want to it's ok .👍

To be honest supporting creators is a real pain in the ass. I personally if it helped genuinely advance the development and improvement of games i would possibly commit to doing it and possibly often. But most methods are subscription based plus the internet is a piece of trash so things only get more difficult with the more stuff you have to deal with on it.  If it was up to me I'd meet creators in person during some events and give them a bunch of cash instead.

What i mean is id much rather get a notifcation to donate than have it automatically draw money from a card. Technology isnt advanced enough to be trusted with such tasks.

There are much better methods than subscription plans but people have a long way to go to advance to that level of societal ingenuity(Greeds a bitch).  I wanna puke and eradicated technology every time I see a subscription plan. This game in particular at most I'd say 20-30 bucks worth especially if it's truly worked on. If it took inspiration from other similar themed games it could be made into a bigger game with several times the content and freedom of options. This is a pretty damn good game for the type of game it is, as always proper improvement will only make it so much better.
