February Small Dev Update & Future Monetization


Hello fellow expansers!

This devlog is on the short side as there hasn't been much new content added, more so under the hood adjustments and fixes. Currently I am focusing on getting some spit and polish on most of the games core features. Things like quality of life menus (How to Play, Graphics Settings, etc), as well as smoothing out the VR experience. Currently at the the time of writing the main menu and lobbys have become VR capable and I'm hoping to have the VR gameplay setup straight from start to finish.

Singleplayer works now as does co-op play with a friend against the bots. Currently they are not very smart but games are completable and their number of available points can be adjusted with the same handicap system that is available to players. So if you want to battle it out with your friends 3v1 against a single bot with a large army on a rough mountainous map, you can do that!

A new unit is in brief design at the moment. It will be a druid type character focusing on single-target healing. I will keep you posted however I am very excited to have the starting roster almost filled out.

Monetization

With a bit more spit and polish the game will be ready for public play. After which I will continue update it and go from there. Currently I plan on having the game playable and polished, and from there add a donation only version. This donation only version will be compatible with multiplayer with the free version (albeit with more units). From there a steam version may be made available so that port forwarding isn't required, however I'm keeping sights closer to the near future. My goal is to monetize the game, however I would like to do so in the fairest way possible that allows people to not feel left out and be able to play the game. The max price the game will cost is $2.50, although I'm leaning to $1 depending.

If you have any feedback on this let me know, I am open to suggestions.

As always have a great day, a good week, I'll be back with more soon!
