i think that the donation or patreon idea would be the best choise because with these two idea we could continue to give help with the new content and share some bug or thing that would need some balancing that we would find. while with the option to sell the game we won't be able to send feedback on thing that would need to be balanced or some bug that we find while playing
That certainly is a solid point, i could still patch a finsihed game but obviously it's much more eficient to fix and find bugs way earlier.
I just never felt comfortable with accepting money for an unfishied product. Just dosen't feel right.
I am well aware that its unlikely but if I would die in some kind accident before the game is finished I would never be ablee to finish it and all who payed for early access or donated would never get a full game.
It certainly is overthinking but something I am still worried about^^"
But I agree with you, I am a bigger fan of the other two options as well since it can influence the game way more and could make it a more fun and refined game in the end!
