To thank our faithful and patient supporters, here's a 3D-printed gecko.
Sales are nice - they bring in a lot of new interested people and push people who have been waiting for a while, over the edge to make a purchase.
Unfortunately, people who buy at sales also seem to have a greater tendency to leave negative reviews - so after the Winter sale, Kodons review score has quickly gone from ~90% to now 76%.
Of course, part of this is due to our delayed updating of the main branch as well, leaving a main version that is more flawed than usual. (truth be told)
Most negative reviews are unfortunately in misunderstanding of what Early Access means, or people without the correct specs and have an expectation from VR apps that they work instantly and fluently.
So we felt forced to change the Kodon description to make things even more clear. The things we have added to it:
1) Kodon is an Early Access app, meaning it is like a Kickstarter project, only you can actually use it a little bit before its done. It's not considered to be a finished product quite yet. Expected completion is around March / April 2017
2) Early Access means "under development" or "pre release", which again translates to "alpha builds". So - expect crashing and various mistakes. Sorry! Please be patient with us :)
3) To compensate for this under development aspect, we provide several parallel branches for you to test out, from all the way back in August.
4) Kodon is resource heavy - please test out recommended specs before you buy. Windows 7 is currently not supported, for instance, because it has an older version of shader support. (We are trying to bring Win7 back, but we're not there yet)
5) (Added in-app) Please refund the game rather than giving it a negative review, if you misunderstood the terms of the app.
We are very serious about Kodon as a semi-professional alternative and believe it should be the best alternative in VR sculpting when it is done. We realize that the people who've had negative experiences will think this sounds completely out of whack. But just wait..
