Wulf, just buy the Game Director Badge, and you can MAKE them put the bindable mousewheel in it!
I would do something much worse than implementing the sinister mwheel if I dropped that kind of cash
A Spark-powered virtual sex simulator with Oculus Rift support, featuring an Onos and the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D?

I feel like Penny Arcade are trying too hard to be funny nowadays. But that strip was a good one.
Unfortunately, work is keeping me from checking out Reinforced right now, but I just wanted to say this: UWE, you are the greatest game developer I know!
Your dedication, work ethic, cooperation with the community and your approach to making money is truly commendable and praiseworthy. I watched several independent dev teams succumb to greed and lose their creativity, but you just keep on going strong and true to your values. Reading how you kept working hard night and day for half a year to deliver a FREE content patch was really inspiring. The Reinforcement program also shows your unique and fair approach to making games and I hope it will bring you all the funding you need.
Many thanks for your work and dedication UWE! Keep on rocking!
someone lend me the money for a the director's badge, so I can have UWE make the NS-themed 2,5D MetroidVania sidescrolling platform shotter thingy I always wanted!
Settled for Shadow-Tier since Onos was out by the time I read this :C. Pretty slick incentives though. This was the only thing I could possibly imagine that could work well for this game.
At the moment the input lag made the game unplayable, but I hope this will be fixed quickly.
The new alien tech tree is really bad, the alien team is a pack of different lifeforms, you don't want to commit all on one. You want to pick usefull upgrades for your strategy, not all possible upgrades for a lifeform.
Drifters for 8 ressources ? Really ? This is crazy it's just a drifter !
It would be more coherent to increase harversters price than drifters.
Commander have no ress at start and drifters can't be used in combat till they cost 8 ress. So alien commander will just go bite RTs... This no ress commander is really a bad idea and has no point.
In competitive games, I really don't think I will stay in hive smoking cigarettes and drinking beers. I want to be usefull.
I like the eject on Exos and the new upgrade system.
I just don't understand why shotguns got only 6 bullets ? What's the point of that ?
I don't know yet about grenades and catalists, still need to try out.
I played a little bit on Biodome and it seems to be a great map. I need to play it more to get more feedback on it.
I hope my feedback will make you think again about the balance. You should take a look at the NSL Summer Cup balance mod, some of these balance changes was really good.
GJ on the updates (minus the input lag ).
Any chance of more payment options for the reinforcement program?
Connected to this: why not put the reinforcement program tiers on Steam??? 1000 times more people will see them (right now they're well hidden deep on the website) and the payment stuff is also solved. The extra 30% steam cut (not sure how much paypal etc take) will be easily made up for this way.
How much was the onos badge? Also I'm probably going to get one of the badges, but as a college student I can't see myself getting the shadow badge T_T

No way I would pay that, but if 25 people snatched up those badges within the hour they were available then I can imagine how many more players would buy them if more were added.

The Onos Badge was really expensive ($333) and the only reason I bought one was because it was so limited. While I understand that not everyone had an opportunity to buy one, if more are added it diminishes the value and I would be a bit disappointed in my purchase.

Go become game director, and force them to make the game in your vision! (as much as possible in 5 days)

Reinforced - Supporter Badge
Reinforced - Silver Badge
Reinforced - Gold Badge
etc.
as classic optional DLC on Steam.
Why isn't this a thing?
I'll try and save for it though!
"Should have made more onos badges"
yes pls
No way I would pay that, but if 25 people snatched up those badges within the hour they were available then I can imagine how many more players would buy them if more were added.
oh that's an insane price, nevermind
Too bad you can't have multiple forum badges though, I lost my consti badge!
It may be worth you sitting down with a business development manager and have a think about the future though.
