(Future Fragments) Bad news about the $10 tier + how to get a refund if you want one
I've got some bad news about the game (we're not censoring anything and there's no delays); if you've backed the game for $10 though expecting a copy of the full game, read this.--------------------------I really wish I didn't have to be the bearer of bad news, but I've got some fairly bad news for some people who've been pledging to the Patreon.As a lot of you know, we've had it advertised since practically day one that if you pledged $10, you'd get the game at 50% off at launch effectively (since the launch...
(Future Fragments) No delays, but there is a small change in plans
Quick reminder; we need your help with Wishlists on Steam still!Wishlisting the game helps out with the Steam algorithms!https://store.steampowered.com/app/1238920/Future_Fragments/------------------------------------Just a real quick notice here; the Fire Level Demo for this month is still planned on the 31st of October.However, due to not having enough time to get in the Fire Level boss, all the SFX, all the maps, and a few other things, we'll be doing ANOTHER Fire Level Demo for November 30th, which should also contain......all 50 revamp...
(Future Fragments) The "Fullscreen Errors" Survey
Over time we've gotten a number of people who've reported that the fullscreen mode for Future Fragments gives them various graphical glitches, so we'd like to get your help to document as many of those errors as we can in this survey, so that we can try to fix them all in one fell swoop.https://surveynuts.com/surveys/take?id=210021&c=3146954681NDJL is the link for the survey; thanks in advance!

(Future Fragments) General progress report
Just wanted to cover a few things in a quick update post as we're in pretty hard crunch mode right now; The next demo will be for the Fire Level, and will come out October 31st; it'll be back to the $5 level pledges to access it. Fuyarinpa is currently working on a long list of the remaining music, so expect some of that in upcoming posts (since some of it will finally NOT be True Final Boss music, as that's mostly done now!) The survey I promised to do about the Discord group (which you can join by going to https://discord.gg/puXrf...

(Future Fragments) The big "responding to survey questions from the last survey" post!
Back in June we ran a survey asking you all a bunch of questions about the game, and we had a section where people could leave questions and concerns and critique about the game.Over 844 people responded to that survey, so unfortunately I can't cover and reply to everything; instead, I'll just present answers to some commonly asked questions, and then specific answers to two other questions I found notable.--------------------------------------------Q: Will you put controller support in the game?A: It's already in, actually! Most co...
Improvement in Payment Options for Patreon for European Backers
Hey, so;Everyone in the UK, EU and U.S. can now pledge in their local currency of Euros (€), British Pounds (£) or U.S. Dollars ($).The main benefit here is that now you shouldn't have to pay extra conversion fees from your bank or card when pledging in a currency that’s not your own.If you want to switch to your local currency (assuming it's Euros or British Pounds), then follow these steps: OnPatreon.com, hover over your avatar in the top right of your screen. Click Manage memberships. Find this page, and click Edit. Under Curren...
(Future Fragments) Reward Emails sent out!
Usually this doesn't take this long, but given the new "Patron Manager" setup... yeah, this took 15+ hours to email everyone this time. We've got a semi-faster system now though now that we've gotten used to the new system, at least.So that said, if you are pledging $5 or more before August 2nd and you're also any of the following; You switched to a new tier this month or last month than the one you were previously at You're a new pledger to the Patreon from July up until now You've never gotten a reward email fr...
(Future Fragments) About reward emails this month
Patreon recently completely changed their patron information system (as in, how I'm able to get your emails to email you for your rewards etc.), and so it's going to take some time to get adjusted to the new system for us.As a result, it might take a few days longer than usual to get rewards setup and sent out, but for future instances, things should be back to normal after reconfiguring our spreadsheet system we've got setup etc.Sorry again for the wait on the reward emails!

(Future Fragments) Rewards sent out + Ice Demo Delay & New Mechanics
Check out the video above for one of the new mechanics for the Ice Level!It's a laser puzzle where you'll have to hit the crystal to bounce it off the ice walls and ground/ceiling to aim it through "gateways" to complete the circuit; completing it will open up doorways to proceed.The puzzles won't be limited to small rooms like this; entire large rooms with enemies and other factors will be involved with it, and as always we'll do our best to make sure it's fun without being too complex.There's another new featur...
(Future Fragments) Reminder about Tax Changes + Demo Date Change
Just as a reminder to all new (and existing) backers, starting today, the taxes for your pledge on Patreon will be processed differently and may have slightly higher fees on them.This is out of Patreon's hands; this is a federal, sweeping change for all internet-based platforms in America. Not complying with it = federal punishments.https://www.patreon.com/posts/37646241 has a lot more information on it that I wrote up about it back in May.-----------------------------------------------We're also changing the demo release date to the 14...

(Future Fragments) Small updates
Just a small update on a few things; Over on Discord at https://discord.gg/puXrfSm, we've posted the third of the Fire Level game over CGs; you'll have to scroll up a bit to see it in the #announcements channel, but it's there!

Tax Changes coming to Patreon (and all other crowdfunding platforms)
I wanted to make this post in advance, although Patreon will reportedly be sending an email out to everyone using the platform sometime around June 1st.On July 1st (not June 1st, so this is still about a month away), Patreon will be adding sales tax to all applicable pledges on Patreon, which will mean in most situations, the amount you pay for your pledge will be increasing slightly.As in, probably 1%-2% or something, so a $5 pledge would become $5.05-$5.10.To note, this is NOT Patreon's decision - this is a Government-mandated change, not...

Well, there was something I wasn't being honest about with that. Mainly, that it wasn't the final version of the ...
(Future Fragments) Quick Update on the Steam Version
Just letting you all know, since this seemed to be a very hot topic in the last post; We've made the game ADULTS ONLY on Steam. This means you will not need a patch to play the game uncensored; it will come that way automatically. However, for people who want to play the game on Twitch, or YouTube, or for any other reason without any sex scenes in the game, we'll be putting in a safe for work toggle so that you can do a run of the game without any NSFW content in it visually.We'll have more updates about the Steam version and the ga...

We're on Steam! You can check out the work in progress Steam page here; please wishlist us if you want to help us out :)https://store.steampowered.com/app/1238920/Future_Fragments/However, we're highly considering releasing the public, front-facing version of the game on Steam as one that would still retain the sex scenes, but instead would have them heavily censored one way or another***(we would still have the patch for NSFW for the full, uncensored release, on Steam for free, of course)***So we'd like you to vote in this poll as ...

(Future Fragments) Fingers crossed...
Yep, that's a Steam Application, and yep, it's for Future Fragments!We're still working on the demo for tonight, but admittedly, due to the time we spent talking things out with Steam and doing the application over the last week, setting it up, doing the new trailer for the game you can see on the front page of the Patreon (or that you can view at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_lxU5Y0WXM which was required for submission to Steam), there is a possibility the demo might come out late into the 8th instead of on the 7th (today).We d...
(Future Fragments) Cross-post networking with another developer, Treasure of Nadia!
Fairly different from our usual posts, but this post is a cross-post with another developer, NLT Media, for their game Treasure of Nadia.NLT knows that Future Fragments has a lot of players that love high quality production value, and his game has that as well, so we figured that both groups of players would have some people that'd be interested in each other's game.Expect a post about Future Fragments on his Patreon once we're up on Steam within the next month or so!NOTE: This won't be a frequent thing; only every so often will...
