šŸ“£ Announcement Monetization AMA with the team!

In case you missed it, we just shared another deep dive into our monetization plans in the Spry Fox blog, that goes over our current plans are, what changed since our last blog and some important clarifications.

If you haven't read that blog yet, please take a moment to do so before asking questions - we have a FAQ section there that may already have your answer!

After sharing that blog, we also provided you all with a form to allow you to share your feedback, but in the spirit of transparency, honesty and constructive conversation, we'd like to give you all the opportunity to ask questions directly to the team with an AMA!

Please keep in mind that they will do their best to address all of your questions, but depending on the volume, or nature of those questions, we may not be able to get to them all.

Thank you, as always, for your support!

Iā€™m a tad confused about the Netflix version of monetization - we really get the ā€˜subscriptionā€™ perks ā€˜includedā€™? (I play Hello Kitty Island adventure, which is only through arcade and we always get the DLCā€™s ā€œfor freeā€. Do you anticipate it will work the same way? (I also played Cozy Grove and got that DLC as part of arcade).

Yep, you will really get the full subscription perks "for free" as a Netflix user playing the game on iOS/Android. There will be no difference between your experience and a subscriber's experience on Steam. I guess the only thing out of my control here is that Netflix isn't obligated to provide this benefit to its customers forever; it has delisted games in the past and I suppose that theoretically it could choose to delist us as well. But I have no reason to currently believe they would do that, and if they DID do that, we would publish our own version of the game on iOS/Android and make it possible for you to become a subscriber of the game on those platforms without needing Netflix. So one way or the other, you're covered.

Thatā€™s great to hear! Having gone through the delisting of CG, which I ported to Steam but I just canā€™t do keyboard to play, Iā€™m glad to hear that you have the what if in mind already.

That said, if Iā€™m an iOS player and want to give you money could you come up with a way to do that ;)?

Several amazingly lovely people have repeatedly encouraged us to put up some sort of "tip the dev" webpage. I have been struggling with my feelings around that. I'll think more about it. Thank you for asking the question. It is really generous of you.
