Sex Drive Early Access Beta!

Hey y'all!

The time has come, Sex Drive is now almost ready for its first delivery of content! Minoanon and I have been putting in a lot of additional work since the project's announcement a couple months ago, and we're finally in a nearly-completed state. But before we get things underway, we've got a few things to outline.

Firstly, the final price for the game will be around $10USD, and contain at least 10 playable stories. However, this won't be in effect for a while! The first build of the game will be free for everyone, as a demo. From v.0.2 and beyond though, the game will have a $10 pricetag on itch.io (v.0.1 will always be available also, so you can try before you buy).

So, what does that mean for this Early Access Beta?

• Radiants ($10) and Beacons ($25) will be able to test drive this first build (containing the first 2 stories) immediately, through download links in the Redroot discord. Additionally, starting from this month, Radiants and Beacons who pledge WILL RECEIVE the full game for FREE.
• Beacons ($25) get an additional perk: They'll get access to behind-the-scenes goodies like first drafts and cut content, and also very first dibs at seeing next stories' content before we put it into the game!
• Radiants ($10) and above will have access to beta builds like this one, once they're prepared, and be able to work with us to fix bugs that may arise, as well as provide valuable feedback. We'll be open to pretty much anything for feedback, including suggestions to add more writing in certain places, features that could be added, or even adding extra pages tied to certain kinks!
• Elders ($3) and Acolytes ($1) will have access to a finalized beta build for v.0.1, once it's ready, a couple days before it goes live on itch.io, to catch any last-minute bugs. Additionally, Elders will have access to the photos that appear in the first story!

Phew, that's a lot of info! But what about going forward?

• Each full build will have 1 or 2 new playable stories to experience, with multiple variations/extra pages depending on kinks chosen. They'll be released on a "when it's ready" basis, not monthly like KT.
• Radiants and Beacons will receive a beta build to test with, then once it's ready, it'll be pushed to itch.io.
• Regardless of how much content we add, being a Radiant/Beacon patron or paying for the game on itch.io will get you the whole game and all its future content updates. You will never have to pay for DLC or stuff like that. No matter how much additional content or goodies we put in, you'll never have to pay extra.

Lastly, please note that Sex Drive functions differently from a typical VN! It's an anthology of stories primarily featuring a crocodile trucker and his lust-fuelled adventures, each story is pretty self-contained. 

We hope you'll enjoy (or consider pledging to enjoy) this early look at what we've got in store for Sex Drive!

PS: There's still going to be a KT patron build this month, but it'll be shorter than usual for...obvious reasons lol
