Haven't read much of this thread, when is this supposed to release?

(it's been in the upcoming games forever)

It enables us to make the initial price of the game cheaper.

This is the one statement that means I won't be buying the game ever.
Such a letdown.

Wait, so if they said that the game will cause your iDevice to explode, then you *would* buy the game? Are you *sure* there's only one?

Could a Mod please remove Game Dev Story from the Thread Title since this Kickstarter funded Freemium Game is becoming more and more a Game that has absolutly nothing in common with any Kairosoft Title (iAP,...). Thanks!

What!? IAPs? NOOOOOO! Seriosly guys, make two versions or whatever. I will gladly pay 5 bucks for a great game. Do whatever you must, but no IAPs.

so tired of people whinging about IAPs. so, so tired.

Just because you don't mind being nickel and dimed and treated like a cash cow doesn't mean everyone else should bend over. I agree it's a bit tired seeing the iap thing pop up so much in forums but you can thank soulless dev's for that . I had a high anticipation for this game, but I've gone from ten to zero. Shame. I would also support a non iap version which cost more I would pay six bucks for it too. But not like this.

you're right. we shouldn't be forced to spend money on optional items. fascist developers. they should just implement ad support to recoup development costs for ongoing updates.

Hate IAP with a passion. Makes it so much worse when the devs have raised so much as a kick starter but then shoe in IAP just before launch after its spent.

Im not a fan of poorly handled IAPs or games that are balanced to push you on to it. Some IAPs can provide meaningful content in a balanced way. So far the developers have just said that the items can be earned in game. I'd rather wait to see/hear an better explanation of how the IAP system will work before crying foul.

Also, the developers were pretty honest in this article about the kickstarter money:
