Great news everyone, we have finished setting up the feature where you will be able to withdraw your points you earned on CloudNovel into your paypal account. That means, yes, the points you earned through your in game purchases through your visual novel game can now be withdrawn as real money into your paypal account. 

This paypal points payout is still in beta, and while it is in beta the current conversion rate for points is 1000 points per $1 USD. Also, each payout must be approved by a staff member before it can be paid out. 

We will be writing guidelines of how payouts can be approved. We have every record in our database of how you earned or received your points, whether it is through paying $5 in our store for 1000 points, or earned through in game purchases through your game, or even received during a game jam and you received those points as prizes.

Right now, we will only accept and approve point payouts from points earned from in game purchases, in game paid save slots in visual novels, paid saved avatar images in dress up games, or unlocked resources (paid points from unlocking character, background, object, GUI, music, or sound effects resources). Only those 4 methods or earning points qualify for your points to be paid out to your paypal account. 

For example, we will reject any points payouts that have been received through a free coupon code to get free points, or points given to you as a prize from the game jam. 

Thank you for reading this short but major announcement!
