But I prefer the first option, since I have had REALLY bad experiences with the option 2 stuff. I’d tell you, but it’s just too personal wipes tear

You aren’t the only one. There was a whole discussion about that on the ‘Most hated thing in choice games’ topic. (link or it didn’t happen)

Disliked Elements, Mechanics, and Tropes

You could already do that with the temporary save-state system that people use for their WIPs, if Choicescript couldn’t be made to support a plug-in or something. As long as they don’t close their browser, setting variables back and forth between save and load is as easy as cake. That was changed relatively recently in the history of CS. At one point you could only display text, not set any variables or use gotos; at this point, choice and fake_choice are almost interchangeable, except choice …

And then specifically this part:

@Sashira

I feel this. I ended up feeling troubled about Zombie Exodus, because I paid to unlock the game and didn’t quite realize the other chapters would have to keep being unlocked with money. I was absolutely fine with paying the total price asked for the game (I think it was $10 for a long and well-made game) but if there had been a “Purchase All Chapters” option, I would know I was buying an episodic game up-front rather than it being somewhere in the description (I’m assuming it’s there somewhere?)

Which makes me wonder…
@JimD Why don’t you combine option 1 and 2? Like, you use option 1 for the initial release, and when it’s finished add the option to buy the whole thing in one go? It sounds to me like it’d prevent some trouble. (Or at least clearly state that you’re buying the game part for part. It doesn’t seem to have been that obvious to some people (I’m not sure how it’s stated though, since I never bought ZE))
