FINDR Online Clarification + Competition! (Patreon)
Content
Hey there, I felt the need to clarify some stuff about FINDR Online and the Competition, as i've been getting a lot of questions, and thought it needed it's own post. Firstly, if you missed it, the game is now out here!
FINDR Online - Do I need to stay subscribed to Patreon to use online features?
No, you do not need an active subscription. If you have ever been a Patreon at some point, even once, it will work just fine. Which means if you don't continue your subscription in the future, you'll still have full access to online functionality.
The locking feature is only for people who have never subscribed and have pirated the game, and then try to use the online features. This is why when you enter your email, it's your Patreon email.
I am trying to keep the security as relaxed as possible. It mostly makes sure the swiping component of the game does not get ruined, and people doing the right thing get rewarded properly!
Some fairies in the future will use assets from future versions, so you'd need to update the game to download those. There's some code to check in the game that the fairy being downloaded is compatible with your game, so it wont download one that will cause a break!
Fairies look broken in my game?
If you played the pre-release, please make sure you have updated to the latest public version, as it's missing some assets! You should see 117 in the top left of the parody login screen in the game.
If you are having serious trouble with a fairy and can't delete them, here's a secret to removing them out of your phonebook - first, find where the fairy is located in the phone book (page 2, 2nd one down, for example) tap/click the FINDR logo until you see the 'safe mode' text appear, now you need to navigate the phonebook blind as no other fairy data will load, giving you the opportunity to delete a fairy based on its location in the book. Hope this helps!
Mascot Competition!
I think this was easily missed in the big release post, but I'm running a competition to find the mascot fairy for the game, winner gets $100 USD visa or equivalent in a gift card.
- You can submit as many fairies as you like
- If you aren't in my discord, you can join by connecting your patreon to discord by following these instructions.
Other than that, super happy with the response so far, and I really hope people are enjoying the sharing and calling aspect of the game!
Really excited to add the Shortstack update and more content, as all created fairies will be able to be played in future scenes! Really keen on the idea of a BJ scene with them in the future too.
Happy to answer more questions below :)
