Patron Tiers Update (Patreon)

So, advertising works. As I found out, and there have been a bunch of new folks joining. To all of you welcome and thank you so much for the support. Because I now know that this works and I decided I should've probably updated the patreon tiers before posting the ad, but didn't. So I've done it now. None of the changes will take immediate effect and they're extremely loose. So anyone new or old, don't worry you will still access to the content I would've been posting for the rest of the month at least, and probably a month or two more.

The changes are mostly just giving additional rewards to higher tier patrons, access to WIP content, alternate images, and hi res versions, etc. Which, again, won't take effect this month. These changes are also EXTREMELY loose. Because I'm changing projects each month, and am doing everything from R34 pin-up images, to D&D homebrew content, fleshing out what the different tiers get access to is going to be a bit of a learning experience for me, but it's something I want to be a bit better about.

With these changes, I also added a $5.00 tier. I kinda realized the $1.00 tier to $10.00 tier is a pretty steep jump, and adding a $5.00 tier might give people a higher tier option that isn't a huge subscription.

Just to be extremely redundant, these changes won't go into effect immediately and will change probably a bit more over the next few weeks. So if you see tier rewards change or get shifted around, don't worry. Nothing is getting put into effect immediately, I will make a post to give warning about when those changes will go into effect, I just hadn't updated those rewards since moving to the 1-month projects. They'll likely get shifted a bit more as I figure things out. I should've done this way earlier and definitely before pushing my patreon but I'm not very professional even when I try to fake it.

With that said, I'd love your opinions on how I should reward the different tiers. When I'm doing art projects, WIP sketches, alternate images, and hi-res versions are easy enough to divide out as rewards, but for things like writing and coding it gets a little more abstract. Since next month is almost certainly going to be coding, I'm really struggling with how to divide rewards. Do I just give more frequent updates for higher tiers? Maybe an exclusive game design stream? I dunno, but I'd love to hear your thoughts.


Final thing, the Rocket cover is essentially finished. I'm going to do a final look tonight then it should be up sometime tomorrow

Add yearly discount and cap the highest tier at $10. I will not pay more than $12/m. I may make exceptions when paying something higher, but don't expect me to continuously support. Any creator that's above ten I either think about the decision for a while and commit or toss them in the bin. I more often than not toss them because they're depicted as greedy. I have a lot of creators I'm supporting already, but above ten is my limit especially if there is hardly any regular content throughout the month. In that case I usually drop that creator. I prefer actual content rather than useless "hey guys I'm drinking coffee" updates with no content. Updates that add content to prior posts are OK (e.g. more content in game, here's a new download.) I start to support a creator if they already have a wealth of content and continue to produce content throughout a month. I favor creators that have yearly subscriptions. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

I enjoyed a few years ago the sexy mad science game you made and I remembered recently that I wanted to support your patreon because of it. I was expecting you to produce more games or animations like it. I don't prefer illustrations unless it's an ongoing patreon exclusive comic. Not a comic that's released one page a month, however. If I want illustrations I could go for free to the most recognized image board. I prefer animations and games that are only patreon exclusive. Thank you for coming to my TedX.
