The strategy I have in mind is very odd, and I'm not sure if it will work. The entire story is free, and you can reach any ending. It's designed to be played repeatedly. What I'm considering is having nex locked "uber" weapons that allow you to progress through a couple of sections much more easily so when you get to those grindy sections you dont need to spend so many actions.
That doesn't seem very odd to me; I'm pretty sure I've seen similar things (pay Fate to get to a success point, get a small additional reward by doing so) in at least two games. Would you make the weapons otherwise useable, or are they just the mechanic which allows a player to grind less? (If it just makes grinding quicker, I confess I would be less interested in spending.)

The other thing I'm considering is "adult" content which is also behind a nex lock which is not required to complete the game, but affects a lot of other sections, and allows the player some resources they wouldn't otherwise have.
(Just a note: I would have some specific expectations about content that was only described as "adult", and I think I might be more likely to be annoyed if content so-described wasn't engaging. This is different from "content behind a Nex lock which affects a lot of other sections and provides resources, but that isn't described as adult"; if *that* wasn't engaging, I think I'd simply be disappointed. Mind, that could be just me!)

Hi there,
Sorry to resurrect this thread. But. I think the Thirst Frontier is about as good as I'm going to get it. It's still got some bugs, though, and a few rough edges and I'm not really comfortable accepting money for it.
But, based on discussion in this thread. Can I monetise it and make it very clear that I intend to donate any royalties to charity?
I was thinking of this one. http://www.unicef.org.au/Donate/One-off-Donation/Water--The-Ripple-Effect.aspx
I can't imagine there would be a lot of money coming in, but it would make me feel better about monetising a sketchy project, while supporting Storynexus. If any royalties come in, I can just transfer them via PayPal. People would have to trust me, I guess.
Any thoughts?
Meg

This is a fine idea and nothing in the ToS prevents or discourages it.
