Speaking as a player who gladly purchased this app the minute it came out--long before I was on staff ...

It's a lousy three bucks. That's less than half the price of a 10-pack and quite likely more than double the value of a 10-pack.
If spending three dollars is burdensome for you, you should not be playing True Dungeon until you're in a better financial position. I say that with 100% sincerity.

I was glad to have the opportunity support the awesome work that was put into it.

If you love and frequently use a thing that someone made, toss the creator a few shekels to encourage them to keep making cool stuff!
All that said, I think making it 100% free (no in-app purchases) is healthy for TD.
Have you looked it up in the TDb ?
Please post TDb corrections in this thread .
If I write something in teal, it should not be taken seriously

No. 1. I’ve gotten far more than $3 of value from the iPhone app, and I’m glad my purchase helped compensate you for the work you’ve done. I don’t mind if new players get it for free in the future. The suggestions to make a free tier for UR or less, or use a pay-what-you want model, also seem totally fair.

In the end, though, it is your app and you should do what you like with it.

I posted on fb as well, so this is a repeated perspective.

I assume having it free would make things easier on coaches, so that's a huge positive.

Having it free would encourage more people to play with more tokens, and possibly find some older ones they want to chase down. Very awesome.

The more people that have access to more token things the better imo.

You do what I can only assume (not being an app writer) is a fair bit of work quite often to add the new tokens and make sure you've got them playing nice together. This has a lot of value, and would honestly be worth $3/year from me, let alone a one time purchase.

I would like to see you paid for this time in some way, so you can continue to develop more cool things I find fun or useful, while also supporting your ongoing token habits (or vacations, etc).

Maybe he could set up a Patreon (or similar) account for those who wanted to support his work.

I would support a Paetron’s account!

Especially if it helps make it free for newbies!

Hadn't heard of Paetron before.

Definitely a reasonable option. I would say I dont know what the amount should/could be, but seems good.

I'd almost rather just set up a way to make it completely free though, so Cranston would receive 100% of whatever people choose to give.

Probably the simplest way for that would be for Cranston to just post his Paypal.me/???? link to this thread (or whatever preferred electronic funds he prefers) :)

I would support a Paetron account for this with a yearly contribution.

Hi everyone.

I want to thank you for the kind words. This is a great community. I am really doing fine financially. While I was working, the pricing was to cover the licensing fees. In recent years, the fees have been going down, and I am not working for corporations anymore, so the need to cover costs is not there. I am glad that people enjoy the apps, and will continue to improve and maintain everything. I encourage you to save your nickels for tokens and help keep this community going.

So, just so everyone is aware, I changed both the IOS and Android Character Generators to being free apps. The change went in this morning, and should be out to the servers by now.

Thank you!
Tom

Once again, you maintain your level of awesome. Thank you so much for the apps! If your situation ever changes, I'm sure the community is ready to help support.

And congrats on hitting 1000 posts.

I am going to mad about because no one else is. Really no one should be upset about. Okay I am done being upset about it. Carry on.
