Hi Christian, it's been a while. sorry to have missed this, It's been a hectic month so far.
To be honest, it was never our intention to bring the aforementioned into Mote. It's just that our development on Sift needs a boost, hence the move. Someday, (when we're wildly successful LOL), we are of the mind to release all of these for free.
If you don't mind me suggesting, we do have "monthlies". You can, for example just sign up for a month, do your designs, and sign-up again, when you're ready to have a session with them.
We're also going to incentivize the community with some sort of referral program, offering access time for sign-ups etc. There's a lot of things we want to do, but can't due to manpower limitations.
Thank you for being understanding, and for wishing us luck. You say MT is your tabletop mainstay but have you checked out
our current list of significant features? I think you might find Mote has a lot more to offer, since you last checked ;)
