Comrades! We must Unite Against The Red Army!

Greeting Comrades! We finally have probably cause for a possible update!

ron wrote:ok, update on this, we found the problem. someone was hacking the protocol and figured out how to issue commands as if they are another player. we patched that security hole this morning, so you shouldn't see this kind of hack again.

regarding an update, if the community can agree to a limited set of tweaks you want to see and is willing to pay for our time to make those changes, it's something we would consider (though i think both the agreement part and the fund raising part are about equally unlikely)

ron

ps: yes, the way to a man's heart is through ceramics! :)



We have two things we must discuss! Possible balance tweak and uncommitted donations to Ron&Noel to create the update!

Amount needed for an update: $3,000
Current Uncommitted Donations: $554; 2 Cups

  • TopKilla: $100; 1 Handmade personalized Subterfuge themed cup to both Ron and Noel.
  • Radio: $100
  • fleetadmiralshanley: $100
  • Arym: $100
  • Skae: $50
  • nautiusmaximus: $50
  • Dane69: $20
  • graybo: $20
  • Nojo: $14


---
Because there is a 100% chance that we will be unable to agree on what changes should be made, I think we should take a different approach here, as I think we can all agree 100% that changes do need to be made. Even if we can't come together and agree on what those changes should be.

So instead of coming up with changes we want to see. Let's come up with some well thought-out, well written change-log scenarios for Ron and Noel to read, evaluate for themselves, and decide what they believe is the correct course of action.

Possible Tweaks:

TopKilla's Suggestions: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2528

  • Specialist Balance
  • Fix In App Recording
  • More Map Options (Bigger maps, Specialists on/off, ETC)
  • A port of Subterfuge to Steam.

My donation will (hopefully) include finally getting L2. I would donate more but dont have a credit card or paypal. But i could possibly make a board game version of subterfuge and send that although its very unlikely.

All depends on the payment method, as I have no PayPal. A $20 in app purchase toward game funding, is something j would do.

Ron, I think it would be wise to advertise this community driven update via the games main menu. We are but only a fraction of your playbase here, and I know for a fact most of us here are just highschoool or college kids. A simple "Donate here for future updates" button within the game with a pick your price model would do wonders.

I'd throw $100 with TopKilla, but I don't particularly care what updates are done. Whatever helps the health of the game and the community.

I guess it would be my way of saying thanks for a game that has given me so much, and deprived me of so many full nights of restful, non-paranoid sleep.

Apple/Google take a 30% cut of that. PayPal would be the best.

I pledge $100. High level, I want to see new specialists (and perhaps some "improvements" on current ones), and some new and different ways to play (or just ways to enforce different parameters).

Do I need to pledge to make suggestions? If yes, goodbye. If not, I wouldn't mind seeing some of the specialists people have suggested in the game.

From exchanging some emails with Ron, he said there isn't a distinct figure in mind. This is because the cost varies directly to the time it takes to push the update.

Yes. But still, those who can afford it should donate as much as they can.

I too could send my board game version once it's finished, but unfortunately I don't have much spare money.

One thing we could do do is come up with general ideas for what we would want changed, like 'More Specs' or 'Nerf Kings' or whatever, and then figure out the details once we have a better general ide of what we would like.
