Re: [ARCHIVE][Alpha] Dev Talk

When you make money with your project you can finally pay your beta testers here on milovana.
I'm surprised that you are saying any software is easier to use than the editor of Archive. My goal was and is to be easy. To be a software that anyone can start using without huge knowledge in programming or technical understandings. And at the same time be a tool that gives you the opportunity to create advanced and complex story if would want to go deep on it.avatarbr wrote: Thu Mar 09, 2023 5:12 am But even if he charged for Wicked Tease, he did create a big manual to how made a personality. I don't know, maybe would slow down even more the creation of more personalities. Without some basic personality to at least test and see how it's works, I don't know if anyone would make a new one.
And TeaseAI is a lot easier to make content than Archive. So the question is, why someone would want to create content for Archive and not for TeaseAI, or GuideMe or even RenPy? And let's not forget about the new AI wave comming in.
So, if you want to charge for that, at least you will need to create a Manual to help people create new content, or no one will even try.
No, you will not pay for the bug fixes. Even not for smaller updates on the story or features. I would just make it a new period when a huge feature update or story content comes out. And the 3 month are just a guess by now. I would not make them shorter, but more likely expand them. It would depend on the progress.chess8 wrote: Thu Mar 09, 2023 2:15 am I don't get it.
This means if i buy it then i can use it for a couple weeks and if there are some bugfixes, security updates, etc. i have to buy it again for safety reasons, or does it mean i still get patches and can continue using it just without new features/content?
This is ridiculus.basim wrote: Thu Mar 09, 2023 1:56 pm First of all let me ask a question:
No one would even think of complaining when the baker wants money for his bread. So why should I not charge for my work?
No one would complain about buying for a reasonable price. Did you ever considered something like Kickstarter? People spend tons of money there and sometimes they get....nothing.basim wrote: Thu Mar 09, 2023 1:56 pm I had hopes. When I was close to let the public know about Archive I did want do make it free at all time. I wanted people to to be fully free of choice if they pay me something. When they like what I do and want to show me their gratitude they could donate a bit. But the time went by and I had to realize two things:
First, most people are not like that. They spend their money on absolut nonsens, because they want it so bad. Even if they have to pay for it. But donating? Give away their money when no one would judge them if they don't? But It's hard to blame them for it. It's a natural instinct. You always try to get something the most cheap and lazy way. That's a question in efficiency and survival.
I think he might have messed it up a bit. There is no need to learn a scripting lang, or syntax or even install 3rd party software like Notepad++ or VSCode.basim wrote: Thu Mar 09, 2023 1:56 pm I'm surprised that you are saying any software is easier to use than the editor of Archive.

Right now I'm not so sure if anyone ever tried. Sure, some of you hit the edit button and took a peek backstage. Maybe even created a new story and placed some nodes. But I don't know of anyone how did and most importanly really TRIED or wanted to. About that experience I gladly would read. I know Archive is far from being perfect. Especially because when I find something logical and simple doesn't mean that everyone else feels the same way.
But I'm somewhat confused. The tutorial story is still there. It will remain free and editable at any time. And not only can you take a peek on it "How this is made", it also explains it when you play it. And on top of that every node as an info box which explains it's functions.
Do you want to produce your own TV show or just watch some Netflix? That brings me to another point. More about this later*basim wrote: Thu Mar 09, 2023 1:56 pm But, honestly, at the moment, I'm not sure if anyone want's it. I think the vast majority just wants to consume.
A larger community will form if it get known to a wider audience.basim wrote: Thu Mar 09, 2023 1:56 pm Despite that I still have hopes that a community will form. Apart from being an easy software to use I also wanted Archive to be a bit for every one, very diverse. And that's something I can not achive myself. That's why I made it an open editor anyone could use. Can contribute his piece of story. Sadly do I'm still lacking a key feature reguarding this. You can write your own story, but you can't expand Archives. And that's why I'm not a fan the "paywall" myself.
I know you want some money. Which is totally fine. Let's get back to your first question.basim wrote: Thu Mar 09, 2023 1:56 pm So, what shall I do? I'm asking all of you? Seriously!
But again, what shall I do?
