I'd be very surprised if the Pit of Doom balancing didn't get changed in either small or major ways over the course of development, not to mention balancing in general. This is the first major iteration with it present, at least, so I wouldn't expect its implementation to be static. Actually been wanting to take that for a spin. Not at all sure what to make of it (been lots of interesting reactions all across the board). : They nerf balance the Pit of Doom either with a timer, or with an increase of unhappiness, or make it reliant on a resource, or something along those lines, once again failing to understand the fundamental problem behind the reason why we now abuse the crap out of it. Place your bets! I'd personally like to see a positive alternative to Pit of Doom. I like that Pit of Doom is somewhat 'evil' but I feel there needs to be a balance option for 'good' gods as well. Just tossing around ideas though. |

Just tossing around ideas though. I've effectively been playing the game without gems because I didn't want to sacrifice any of my followers. Besides the one time I accidentally bought a sticker pack, I think I only ever found enough gems for 2 "gifts". I don't know if it was worth it, but I guess I don't have anything else I would want to spend gems on. Yes, there needs to be a good alternative to the Pit of Doom, but not "an alternate way to get gems" – I don't really want a "good" way to get gems, because I don't want gems. I want a way to play a benevolent god. |

I am not sure how other backers would feel about it but I think I could be OK if non-backers get a very very limited version of what they backers got for that. |

Sorry miss spell should have been "the backers get." Ah the joys of typeing at work and getting distracted. /9->

It was one of the higher ones. I have 3 keys from it and get the statue, and the pet and the Wishing well, as well as the "signed" shirt and poster. Not highest by far but in the 200 range I think.

We've actually sent an email this evening to Peter directly detailing the remaining backer rewards left to fulfill*. So it's something that'll be getting discussed soon. * Insert pithy reply about the game here. |

I imagine we'll be seeing several backer rewards be dismantled (familiars anyone?) while others are going to be fullfilled as technicalities. While I'd love to see them fullfilled in truth, I have a hard time seeing this happen within a reasonable timeframe. |

(Also: slow reply is slow.) |

As do I Matthew - yet it seems unlikely given the current state of affairs.
Freemium design seems king.

Or <hypothetically speaking> Well... we were going to give these amazing things out as backer rewards eventually, but mobile users requested them... so we decided to give them out to iOS users too (for a small gem investment, of course)! Surely you can't be stingy enough to not want everyone to have these zen-like and delicious things, can you? -22cans in regards to Kickstarter backer rewards- Did we say these were backer exclusive?!??!! well... even if we did, they were exclusive for a time, and now they aren't. -pithy 22cans statement regarding backer rewards- </hypothetically speaking> |
