I meant to ask if the NG version would have a less well-polished version, like for example you'd finish the game, fix some obvious bugs and so on, then while putting the little extras for the backers in the backer version you'd find some more bugs and fix them while not bothering to fix the ones in the public version. I'm glad to hear that won't be the case, though.
Hm, the compression can be a problem, is it by any chance because NG can't take larger games than 15MB? I never actually knew that was the limit (i mean i knew there had to be some limit but didn't know it could be that). Meh, it'll still (hopefully) be as good looking as the chapter 1 game you sent out, out of curiosity, was that one compressed as well?
Yeah, i wish i had actual money to donate to your patreon but i'm pretty broke, luckily by submitting your stuff to Newgrounds you're showing it to a very big audience, bringing you even more supporters. Ah well, i can live with the free web version.
Cheers.

I've actually been looking forward to this for weeks now.
What exactly are the differences between the backer version and the Newgrounds version? You mentioned it's nicer-looking but i hope that doesn't mean people on NG will have a lazy and buggy (in the sense that it will have hundreds of bugs instead of the occasional few that every game has) product, that would be a real shame and could potentially give you a slightly lower score.
Big fan of Crusoe and your Maid game, hope to see more from you guys in the future.

Hi Radaketor, Obviously we're not going to introduce bugs only into the web version..? I don't quite get your train of thought here.
The patreon/Newgrounds versions will essentially be the same except the web version will be horribly compressed to bring the file size down from 50 mb to 10-15 mb, making the graphics look worse. This is out of necessity more than anything else.
The larger point though is that the $5 and $10 backer exclusive stuff makes a good game fucking awesome, and it'd be a shame to miss out on it.
