Lizards as donator only privlege
This year lummox has asked the ss13 community to turn out it's pockets and shake a little more loose change forth for the byond upstream. Upon who our hopes, dreams and shiny clickfest games are built.
In the spirit of the new year and making resolutions for making the server better I have brough upon myself the task of developing code to make mutant races of different species a byond member only feature.
Please leave feedback after the beep

This was already rejected. There is no need for it now, either. To you, this is an attempt at removing lizards, but in a way that may not upset as many people.
Also, this belongs in the "Ideas" forum, not "Feedback".

Re: Lizards as donator only privlege
Nobody donates to SS13, let alone byond. This is by far the most monetarily selfish community known to man, willing to use every single excuse under the sun to not give a buck a month.
Pre-emptive response: The asking price is ONE DOLLAR. You have NO MONETARY EXCUSE. The only valid excuses are being unable to pay (as in being unable to get a Patreon accepted credit/debit card or paypal account).

Re: Lizards as donator only privlege
If BYond wants my money they will make a good service and do their best to make that service as good as possible. Not making it open source and being a bunch of fucking jews isn't making their service as good as possible, so they don't deserve any of my money.

Re: Lizards as donator only privlege
Fuck you Zilenan91, you're literally playing a game that exists on their goodwill, a platform that despite our grumbling has proven to be extraordinarily flexible and accommodation.
I don’t' know how you even justify in your own mind the kind of doublethink necessary to call them jews and tell them their service sucks.
Without byond we don’t' exist, period.

Re: Lizards as donator only privlege
Lets not conflate lizard/species restriction with being an uncharitable and stingy cunt.
Why don't we just add special on-round-start hats for donors, instead? $5 lets you unlock a slightly-different hat for a job of your choice?
At least you can steal hats.

i've already donated a few times just because. people aren't going to give their money if they haven't already, no amount of dumb ideas like this is going to change that.

If we locked custom clothes behind a paywall I'd be down for that, like the ability for you to spawn in wearing, like, a baseball cap or a monkey mask or a xeno suit or whatever.

Re: Lizards as donator only privlege
The only people who'd be swayed by it are the people who are set on playing a lizard character. Lizards are almost purely cosmetic and have no asimov protection. Imagine if plasmaman was the reward.
Fancy clothing would be a neat alternative, like how Goon has clothing rewards tied to their weird achievement system.

Why not do it to catpeople, some people would probably donate for them, they provide literally no gameplay advantage, and currently there admin only so it is not like your locking something that already exists.

Re: Lizards as donator only privlege
donators could get a set of vouchers or something, to use on clothing machines in the same way mining vendor machines work. The vouchers open up a different menu of donator cosmetic items from clothes vendors so there's no roundstart meta, kinda, since donators have to take the items at roundstart. They could also share their vouchers but they won't start with that many, maybe a box of three or something.

Re: Lizards as donator only privlege
Locking some cosmetic items behind a donator wall towards the Byond people seems fine, just so long as it is kept away from job roles. I dislike the idea of diluting job appearances with whacky donator items.

Re: Lizards as donator only privlege
Yeah we could just make there be a special clothes vendor in the locker rooms on all the maps that you can insert vouchers into to get pools of clothes out of, with donators getting like 3 that they can give away or use if they want to.

Re: Lizards as donator only privlege
I would prefer the premium features to remain things that don't affect the in-game performance at all. Right now we have alternative ghost skins, 10 character slots and custom OOC name colours as incentives, none of which have any impact in-game whatsoever. Cosmetic items that you spawn with may affect in-game performance, but we'd have to run a playtest to find out exactly how.

Re: Lizards as donator only privlege
For example, tacticool turtlenecks.
They apparently have the same resistances as tactical turtlenecks.
Having them available would be a benefit in a powergame perspective.
Or, less obvious, the clothes vouchers would allow easyish disguise changes for 10 bucks a month or whatever the costs are

Re: Lizards as donator only privlege
Since when did donator only items translate into giving free armour to anyone?
As I said I find the idea of cosmetic items only ok, but really I would wish we avoid it altogether as its just a pandora's box that we won't be able to shut once its opened.

Re: Lizards as donator only privlege
What if we add custom inventory? Depending on how much youve donated you could spawn as several races + new custom ones and with a list of selectable items, like pulse rifles. Maybe they could be dna locked to your byond tag. Also, maybe we could offer in game micro transactions like 5 telecrystals for 10 dollars?

Re: Lizards as donator only privlege
On final thoughts I think we should not allow any donator system to exist at all.
Not only is the way our game is structured make a donator system difficult, but I don't trust the powers that be to keep any donator system to only allow for cosmetic items you get from a vendor.
Considering how many other features creeped their way forward I would not doubt in the future a donator system would start to encroach more onto the game.

All I can say is that me not knowing that shows why I'm not trying to bug-fix or contribute. And odds are it's a simple case of the one that added Tacticool not knowing about it either somehow. Or just forgot.
