Hi, aron thanks for that responce.
I have little idea about the big picture, I thought I did.
So when the message over phone came out that we would need more cash to continue growing the business for whatever reason my brain thought we were out of cash why god only knows.
I have been asked to hold off on any news till we can talk with ourselves about each thing before its posted to ensure miscommunication like what just happen doesn't.
News isn't exactly coming fast thats not a secret we are a 6 man team and I think its 6 people, the team changes from time to time its still fluid.
All I do know right now is the following.
1. for kickstarters audiogame hub is free.
For the rest of the players not in kickstart at some point it won't but I don't know what that would actually be its an idea which my brain thought was all fleshed out and about ready to go and it aint.
But when the next version comes out which will happen soon but soon doesn't mean next week it could be sometimes this year I have no actual idea, there will be a subscription service in which you buy in month lots and will be able to have unlimited packages as well.
No pricing and just a vague framework were discussed.
There have been a maximum of 2 conversations part of which were based on this but its still in planning at least I assume it is still in planning.
We have the cash to complete the current cycle of development, its future planning is all.
All businesses plan for the future, I just thought it was going to be like right this moment and it isn't clearly so thats what that mishearing was about.
The tunnels game, again yeah I think for those outside the campaign it will be payed.
I have not as yet got any more info on it except that they are working hard on it whatever that means.
From my chats with sonnar the subscription stuff is probably still open for descussion I mean you will have to eventually pay for things but what form is still up in the air.
I guess the only way to salvage this some is simply to open this for descussion, you guys do realise the kickstart will fund the hub there is no question of that.
The 5 or so games we said would happen will happen no matter what.
Its afterwards that the issue will be.
I guess its my own fault for being warried about traffic on the forums and the fact we are just not generating enough, maybe its me that needs to slow down and wait for this tree to mature instead of trying to fertalise it.
I also know simon and blackjack will be in the next version.
I don't have any other info, I have ideas I may want to share later but I still don't know how they will go and I don't want to woffle on a saturday morning incase I woffle myself into another pit of mistyping.
The guys at sonnar work 12 hour days, I am unsure who is payed or who doesn't but I myself bar probably lifetime codes to all games am not being payed a single dollar thats how it is.
Granted I have a vary low priority to be sure.
We are funded by a kickstart, I think a local and maybe another university, a few organisation sponsors ablegamers and bee accessible I think from memmory but thats about it.
And the last 2 are just what I noted when mucking round the site.
I think without more info or permition I will stop there before I say something in error though as I know next to nothing at least not much more than the users here.
Even with the relationship I have with sonnar I hear snippits I need to try to get each of those into something.
Right now thats not the most immediate issue on the mind of sonnar though freely discuss how you think we should fund ourselves with our games, how you who did not participate in the kickstart and even those who did how you would like to pay for your fun its going to happen eventually as we move towards bigger and bigger projects, even if we do have enough for the current 1.
I have seen an rpg, may I be more criptic.
A 10 year old rpg that was languishing round on a drive and due for shelving.
I think those in the company will know what that is.
For the rest of you, thats something I want fixed because it needs to be redone.
I would like 1812 heart of winter to be finnished.
I don't know what else we write but I look forward to it.
It was me though that asked if we could buy games or packages of games outright I don't like subscriptions absolutely loath them its why I don't play swamp.
By subscribing it would mean I would have a commitment to playing it semi regular, I am not a semi regular guy though.
All I know about the hub's status is we will have new scoring, and new interface and thats all.
What is in our immediate line of fire are the forums which we havn't as yet managed to solve with security wise, pun bb just isn't suitable for us, we can't spend the day moderating it and so we need to move.
I don't know where though.
The other is apple, I don't have any status on it but one of our games was rejected and we are still waiting on a responce with the reapplication.
When there is more news you will be the first to know about it but could we please keep the speculation to a minimum.
We are a small company and we have been barely up for a year maybe even less I am not sure but its between 1 and 2 years and we only got really serious near the end of last year.
When 1812 hart of winter part 1 came out we were not even sonnar.
