You could watch ads inside the 3 lines section. There would be a section called: Ads
You could watch an ad to support the devs and to keep the servers online. A leaderboard would be great for supporters inside the app. A top 1000 leaderboard would be great for the most active supporters. On the leaderboard (no matter if it's the top 1000 or the full) you could see your and everybody's watch count,ad click trough count and the made money. I think this would be great, for example 1 ad watch is 0.75 cents, and a click trough is 1$ than 100=100$. Just calculate with these numbers and you will see that money income will grow potentially.
One important thing: If you consider adding ads, NEVER do it like in arcade games. Don't make ads pop in and such, just make an options for those how want to support but don't have money or credit card.

oOXenonTitareOoI think I will definitely make 100 click troughs in a week. 100*4 =400/month

KaseikoHeck I'd even go so far as to say "remove ads" could be a premium option. Please do it the sane way though, and have them pop down from the top, not near the bottom where all the clicking is. Clicks gained that way are always kinda scummy, and really don't sit well with players, nor do they help the ad providers since generally, you didn't mean to click the ad, and going in you'd have a negative impression on whatever they're trying to show you.

oOXenonTitareOoThis suggestion is not about aggressive popup ads. Its about an option.

Royal._.ShadowWhy dont you just slap some large "Support the developers" Button somewhere in settings and be done with it. The thought of ads make me cringe, sorry dud.
-
17 Mar
oOXenonTitareOoNot cringe. The devs don't have enough money bro. Asking for money is not cringe. Stealing money via aggressive ads, is cringe and annoying.
There's a site for supporting the devs, but as I wrote: " just make an options for those how want to support but don't have money or credit card."
Not everyone has a credit card. Or money... -

ConnorNgl i would uninstall the game if there were ads they already have a patron

oOXenonTitareOoYeah, they have a patreon page but: "just make an options for those how want to support but don't have money or credit card."
Not everyone has a credit card. Or money..."
And As I said: "This suggestion is not about aggressive popup ads. Its about an option." -

clear as DaeMy thoughts are along the lines of having a thing in the sidebar where you can watch ads, and every time you watch an ad you earn "Points". These "points" can be used to earn temporary access to things the premium users have. Like, one 30 second ad is 3 retry commands. Not an intrusive ad, but one that you opt into.

TOTALY RANDOM HUMANI honestly like"clear as dae's" opinion on the matter tho id think that its better to just have the "support us option in the menu. And to add to the previous gelreat idea you could make it so that there are ranks on the ads so that the ads are ranked with tge shorter ones giving say one point and longer ones giving more points as you go. Also you could make it so that you have like a store where you could use those points to "purcase a finite amount of say "retry commands".
I hope thus helped. -

breadI agree with totaly random human agreeing with clear as dae, this sounds exactly like what I want.

IchibiI agree with random's elaboration but I feel like maybe you could add a "1 month premium" option to the ad store for a high price (like maybe 10 hrs of ads on average?)

Kurumi TokisakiThere's already premium + patreon to support the game, I pay $20 patreon and $4.99 premium and would not enjoy ads, plus don't think the people I've invited to the game would be very privy to ads.

Ignat Dmitrievich Starinchik MergedOnly problem with ads: the ads suck. They are very short, so when they end, we forget that they suck and start putting it on the game. So far, it’s true.

Varkarrus MergedI support this idea, though it should be optional of course. Removing ads shouldn't be a premium-only feature I think. I have premium but I wouldn't mind having it on if it's just, like, a sidebar thing on browser.

Any no mooseBanner ads would be fine, but if I get so much as one (1) popup, or a single banner ad with audio, I'd turn my adblocker back on in a heartbeat.
-
15 Jul
andyman11Yeah, maybe you could enable ads, and then if you play enough in a month, since you saw a lot of ads, you would get free premium because you paid off the premium in ads?

throwawayexperimentationOptional ads would allow the few currently-premium features to eventually become free. If there was a sustainable alternative way for the developers to make money, then eventually even the Dragon model could become free.
-
20 Jul
throwawayexperimentationSo this would help the application.
-

throwawayexperimentationOptional ads are non-invasive, and cost nothing but time for users to watch. If I watched 10 ads completely by choice, that would equal (I think) $7.50, almost the cost of the premium. And it's a free way for users to support the application, without any money coming from themselves.

CastinLuckGamerOnly if it (ad implementation) is optional.
Oftentimes I just want to play a fun game that doesn't harass me with ads.
AI Dungeon is the only game I have that gives me that solace.
But when I'm not stressed, it'd be cool to be able to switch on ads to support the awesome devs. I really love AI Dungeon and having the OPTION to help them even when I am a broke college student would make me so happy. -
29 Jul
XanEven as a premium user, I'd love a switch to be able to toggle ads on - as long as they're unintrusive I'm all for it to help the devs keep the service running.

DanielI think it would be better if the ads would be placed somewhere on the screen, but not among, above or below the text. And that they would not hamper, impede or obstruct the player from playing the game.
Invasive or obscuring ads can annoy a person to stop even playing or supporting the game, and that would decrease the support of the game itself, since it would become 'just another ads filled Text Based Adventure game'... -
31 Jul
DanielMaybe make it free version only, while the premium version would not have the ads, since they already support the game by paying monthly?
Or make different tiers of premium? Like ads free version, then the actual premium and then the premium+? -

75897Maybe you could put it into explore? I would prefer if the main game elements were clean. On phones, there is little space already for seeing the older text while the keyboard is pulled up. I turned off tips just to get a little more space. I would be fine with a support with an ad option. Just please avoid making it a forced thing.
-
02 Aug
DanielThat, I agree with what 75897 says above me.

Aidu"clear as dae"s idea sounds great! Watching a certain number of ads to unlock a week of narrator or something like that would be really neat!
-

CagejenHonestly watching 15 adds consecutively for a week of the dragon ai would be very nice 0.0 I am personally apposed to subscriptions (I understand they set a monthly idea of cash flow) but I would definitely support a system to watch X amount of ads to equal $10 for a month of premium.. which is applicable with accounts. Which would not be intrusive and who wouldn't watch 15-20 adds for a full month of dragon ai without intrusive, invasive adds does that sound like a good enough solution?

throwawayexperimentationConsidering that clicks on ads are what earn money (and clickthroughs), supporting the game would be very simple. I could open up another tab, watch ads on it, and support the developers. If it is an option in the side bar, then I will be clicking it. It is a free option to support the developers.
-
10 Aug
throwawayexperimentationAnd letting people know that it is a free option to support the developers, they would probably be enthusiastic about clicking on it too.

Brass_BucklesPlease make sure if this is added that those of us who are premium members get an ad-free experience.
-
24 Aug
Zypher SI'm totally against ads personally. You don't have money? Mow a single neighbors lawn for 20 bucks, boom 2 months of premium for a few hours of constructive work.
Heck, you could sell lemonade on the street corner for a day and afford it...
There are loads of ways for an honest kid to come up with 10$.
If your an adult? Well stop being a freeloader, lol.
Advertisers have already torn apart YouTube. You want to invite that into AID? Get ready for some heavy censoring. -

RamaRamaI like to support the team with the ads idea but i think it will turn off some players
-

UrbanlinerAs long as the ads are behind 2 buttons, with one opening a prompt to confirm if the user wants to watch an ad, and the other one, on the prompt, actually leading to the ad), I’ll gladly see this happen.
-

IceI think it's a good idea to have ads, provided that they aren't intrusive, and by not intrusive I mean:
* Don't have popup ads or constant banner ads
* Don't pester the user about ads
One interesting concept could be rewarding those who watch ads with a support coin (with a coin being half the value of one ad watch in relation to the cost of 1 day premium) and allow players who have accumulated enough support coins to spend them to get a day of premium. -
25 Sep
NOTORIETYThis can be profitable AID has a lot of players, it can make money so fast But don't make to many of them maybe in the sides.

tervenquaPerhaps put the ad space on the Settings page or About page along with a short message or something. Since most of us would click it to show support regardless of the ad content or placement anyway.

Dark harthI agree a add feature would be a great income source.
I would watch an add every now and again. I currently have a lot of free time I like the game but money is tight.so I can't give it away. besides I have never given any money through paetrion I wouldn't even know if I was in a scam room giving my credit card to a stranger.
I believe a add button would be good for people like me and children who can't give money. -

Dark harthMake a button not side banner ads they are annoying and people may not want to see ads during they're epic fights or the death of a friend.
A button would make everyone happy.
