Thank you for the support! Patreon Update (Patreon)

So, hello to all the new people visiting our Patreon, ahah. And, of course, good greetings to everyone who was already here. We've had a huge increase in activity since that Patreon Bonus Moment released. I'm amazed and very appreciative of everybody who's taken the time to play it. I wasn't sure it'd be what people wanted, but it's great to see so many fans enjoying how the relationship progressed in that scene.

We've gotten a few messages/comments wondering if there will ever be more content like that. Originally, that was going to be the one special bonus Moment we ever did. But because we've gotten so much extra funding already and players have felt what was there did work with their overall OL experience, we can actually consider doing a second 18+ Patreon Moment! It'd be set in Step 4 when Cove and the MC are older/more experienced, and likely when they're already married. So we'll have to release Step 4 and the Wedding DLC before we begin work on another bonus Moment, but it is at least something that's in the cards. We'll see how taxed the team is with the Derek and Baxter DLCs once we've wrapped up the last of the major Cove expansions and how players are feeling about everything a few months after the original Patreon Moment has been out.

Also, Patreon has some news about taxes. They sent creators a post they can use to inform their supporters, so I'm just gonna copy/paste that exact thing here, haha.
I wanted to give you a heads up about a small change to required tax on pledges. Patreon already adds sales tax/VAT/GST to pledges from patrons in most US states and several other countries—anywhere that’s required by law. They’re now required to start adding tax in a few new places: Canada (other than Quebec where Patreon already charges QST), Thailand, Florida, and Kansas.  If you live in one of those places, you should see a small amount of tax added to your pledge starting July 15th for per post, and August 1st for monthly.

If you have questions, you should be able to find answers here. If you still have questions, the best place to get an answer is from Patreon’s customer support team, here.

Edit:

Patreon sent another email about taxes, we're including the extra info now:

On July 6th we sent an email with updates about required sales tax on Patreon. We’ve since received additional guidance from Canadian tax authorities and need to make a correction.

Our email said that the GST rate we’ll charge is 5% across Canada, other than Quebec where the QST rate is 9.975%. We wanted to clarify that the 5% federal GST rate applies in addition to any local/provincial taxes. So for example, patrons in Quebec may be charged up to 14.975% tax (federal GST of 5% plus Quebec QST of 9.975%). In some provinces, the combined federal and local tax is called HST, or Harmonized Sales Tax.

Thanks for your patience as we navigate changing tax laws.

Thanks again everyone! We'll keep doing our best with all the upcoming OL1 and OL2 content ♡
