Dev Update #2 - Creating 'Experiences' and an MVP
🕑 Added 2020-03-12 22:18:32 +0000 UTCOur goal has always been to create a full game that immerses you in the world of the Goddess and Threshold House with multiple Mistresses, but acheiving that goal takes time, energy, and lots of patience!
It truly is the feedback and encouragement of fans that keeps us motivated through all of the ups and downs! Thank you so, so much!!! 💋
Our plan to reach MVP.
Our goal remains to produce a full game and we know that when Deviant Dev is able to work full-time, we'll be able to churn out lots of new content, features, and Mistresses to make that happen!
For us, MVP means a fully playable game with tasks, punishments and rewards that features our first 4 Mistresses (Goddess, Headmistress, Nega and Yuki). Our vision, however, is to get to a full game with 7-8 Mistresses and a complete story line.
So, to help us get there from a funding perspective, we've decided to expand our revenue stream to charge for complete 'experiences' (individual game modules) on Steam and Itch.io. These same 'experiences' will also be available on VRPorn Premium.
This is a little unconventional, but by releasing complete 'experiences' to those who just want to play the game, we're giving fans more than one way to help fund and support the game's development.
Releasing shorter 'experiences' on Steam, Itch.io, and VRPorn.
These 'experiences' will be modestly priced ($12.99 USD) and focus on either a set of scenes featuring one specific Mistress or one specific kink. For example, our Puppy Play module with Mistress Yuki will eventually be released as a stand-alone experience and will include one punishment and one reward scene, as well as all the training tasks Patrons have been able to experience so far.
Dominatrix Simulator: Threshold is already up on Steam and Itch.io (and being uploaded to VRPorn Premium as I write this) and is just undergoing some final adjustments (two new scenes) to be complete. It is essentially the tutorial and introduction to the world of DomSim, it's characters, the mechanics and how to play in this innovative way. When it is complete, it will be over 60 minutes of repeatable gameplay.
What changes for Patrons?
Nothing. You will continue to have early access to:
- Everything we're working on
- New content as it's being developed (full release games for $10 Patrons, which will include the complete 'experiences' as we release them)
- Lewds featuring Mistresses in poses you won't find in the game
- Behind the scenes content (such as audio outtakes, dialogue scripts, etc)
- Welcome messages ($25+ Patrons)
- Special gifts from fellow adult devs ($10+)
...AND, because we are now releasing 'experiences' as stand alone games, Patrons will get the extra benefit of always having a copy of a fully hooked up game in addition to access to the 'experiences' - This means that you will get copies of all the modules connected to the main game as they are created and released, even if the build is partially broken or incomplete. Consider it your own special, early access MVP edition.
You can expect to see the first 'hooked up' version soon as we connect in the Puppy Play modules and the upcoming scenes with Mistress Nega Yuki!
We hope this approach makes sense to everyone and that you will let us know if you have questions!
Thank you for your help to get this far!
Mine truly,
