YT Gaming's First Pledged Update
Added 2016-04-30 02:18:18 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
This update is a PLEDGED update, meaning you will be charged your pledge amount in early May. This pledged update should cover the release of Aylia's Story Chapter 1 and Hunter's Quest translation in that I don't anticipate running another pledged update prior to the release of chapter 1. This pledged update is technically for the Hunter's Quest translation and is the result of the April patron poll. I hope that both of these will be released in May, and will post an updated release date in the coming weeks.
YTGaming's first pledge means a couple things, all of which are exciting!
1. This is now my part-time job.
2. You can expect releases, teasers, bonuses, etc. a lot more frequently. If your curious, I anticipate running a pledged update every 1-3 months.
3. Pledge perks and stretch rewards will now go fully into effect. There will be a minimum of 1 poll a month. I'll finish up Lynne's design and post the results, and I'll get the final outfit poll ready to go. I doubt I'll be at 8,000 after this update and the declined patrons get cleared out, but I believe we'll get there again.
4. Aylia's Story will become a reality, not vaporware. Yay! This is probably the coolest of them all.
In regards to your pledge. Once your pledge goes through, you'll be officially part of the group you've pledged to.
$5 patrons will get access to polls, teasers, lore posts, etc.
$10 patrons will get first looks at new content releases and will be my worker bees in finding bugs, mistakes.
$20 patrons will get opportunities to provide personal input into the games (I've already ran 3 raffles, but will run more).
$50 patrons will get an email from me in the coming month and we can start discussions on your scene/idea and how to best fit it into the game.
No matter what you pledge, you have my eternal gratitude for you willingness to place your trust in me. Words do not do it justice, but they are all I have to try and relay how much this means to me. And, to those who've stuck it out this past year, thank you so much. Your patience is remarkable, and I sincerely hope you enjoy the end result. I ended up shooting for the stars a bit with this game, and probably should have taken my own advice and started smaller, but what the hell, go fucking big or go home!
THANK YOU ALL! May is going to be a great month!

Heehee. I did put a ton of hints in there. The biggest one was probably "RPG Maker YT Extreme," whoever heard of such a thing :-)

2016-05-08 08:00:54 +0000 UTCYea, I should probably never post that, since I seem to always get distracted :-). Someday, I'll learn to underpromise so that I can overdeliver :-P

2016-05-08 07:59:46 +0000 UTCOh, it was a joke. The post really had me steaming
2016-05-04 11:35:28 +0000 UTC"Later this evening" 11 hours ago? Looks like american time zone. Still no post, however :(

2016-05-04 09:39:18 +0000 UTCYea... about that. I'll post on that little mishap later this evening, with what I meant to be my real update. Karma ended up dropping the joke on me :-)

2016-05-03 22:39:46 +0000 UTCHu... you backpedaled pretty quick on that joke, didn't you? XD (For the uninformed: This comment is in regard to a deleted post from YT)

2016-05-03 17:14:30 +0000 UTCI look forward to seeing what Lynne shall look likem l. Was she the maid or farm girl you've shown us before? Someone new?

2016-05-03 06:34:26 +0000 UTCi am excited for both. hunter's quest seems like an awesome game but alas i suck at japanese.understanding the speech is one thing, but knowing kanji is another thing entirely, at least to me

2016-05-02 23:08:53 +0000 UTCYes, I will. I know that Patreon offers people chances to fix any decline issues. I do wish it would let me know if people manually declined (as in they are not interested in the translation, but still are interested in the game). I'll probably reference this in the next post, and have those people message me, so I know they are not bots.

2016-05-02 21:56:56 +0000 UTCTrue story, and good luck on your move. That is exciting!

2016-05-02 21:55:42 +0000 UTCHa, didn't see this before I read your message. Sooo, you can disregard that portion of the P.S.
YummyTiger Gaming
2016-05-02 21:55:21 +0000 UTCLooks like most pledges went through indeed, looking good! Hopefully this will make a difference :)

2016-05-02 19:26:20 +0000 UTCFinally! After all this time! I can give you my money! I'm glad that 90% or so of pledges went through. You deserve it bro.

2016-05-02 13:42:06 +0000 UTCafter the first week check the pledges , many people cant pay the first week and some maybe wont pay because they dont want the translation so have that in mind too

2016-05-02 13:05:56 +0000 UTCSo, not only am I moving to a way cooler city in May, but Chapter 1, plus a translation I may as well look into playing? It's like Christmas In...er, Before July!
2016-05-02 12:21:51 +0000 UTCHoly hell, haven't been checking up on YT the last weeks so my prepaid credit card was entirely unprepared for this paid update. Woops! Should be fixed now YT, looking forward to the content.

2016-05-02 12:05:01 +0000 UTCWahhh but we lost the costume :( I still think that once chapter 1 goes public, you'll need to create some further stretch goals. Considering there's 7k support with a tech demo, I can see it growing massively with a longer chapter to play.

2016-05-01 20:16:34 +0000 UTCCongrats on your first pledge to be honest I been so busy with Work I forgot about this which in turn made the wait very small. Thank you for all the work you did over the past year. Now have fun with our money you earn it lol
2016-05-01 19:01:24 +0000 UTCThank you all for your pledges! It means so much. I WILL get you chapter 1 in the coming weeks. I'm working with so much enthusiasm right now, it is contagious. So, you might find the final portion of chapter 1 to be extra funny because of my good mood :-)

2016-05-01 17:46:21 +0000 UTCNo, the bonus pic is yet to come.
YummyTiger Gaming
2016-05-01 17:45:16 +0000 UTCIt's not as bad as people think. Believe me, I thought it'd be worse.
YummyTiger Gaming
2016-05-01 17:41:32 +0000 UTCThank you for your support. You'll get chapter 1 in the next few weeks.
YummyTiger Gaming
2016-05-01 17:39:45 +0000 UTCMy pledge said "complete", seems like everything ran smoothly. Just a question: the 1.000 patrons pics is this one or it has yet to come? *_*
