It is. But let's make some things clear:
- I'm broke. I'm tired of begging for support without putting something in people's hands.
- I'm not ripping people off with patreon early access.
- I'm not kickstarting the game at a $30,000 artwork goal just for an indeterminate development time.
- I know for a fact that incredibly few people donated to OHYAD's Free Twine version.
- I also know for a fact that raising the price later does not work to get more game done or get food into my mouth.
- And I know for a fact that there's games my audience ARE spending more than that money on - over months - with lower standards and way more hustle than mine.
I'm going to be joining sales. I understand the doubts and criticism, but the reason I'm doing this is because I know the other ways do not work for me.
And with that? Name your price. Let's hear it. I'll write it down.
