Upcoming Changes this October (Patreon)

Hello, my dear Patrons!

After much thought and deliberation, I have come to the conclusion that, for my own mental health and for the sake of the quality of my mods, I must enact a large change to my Patreon tiers. As I believe you all deserve the truth, I will explain why I am changing my Patreon tiers. 

Why I'm changing things

When I first created my Patreon, I never believed I would receive such generous patronage from you all, and as such, created a model that was simply unsustainable. I have to be honest: the workload has over-encumbered me for some time. 

I wish to explore creatively and produce content that is purely my own, but creating 9+ mods monthly has simply become too much for me--and it isn't achievable if I wish to create original content. 

I have also been discomforted by the price of my tiers for quite some time. I hope you can all understand my desire to change things up, and I ask for your support during this transition period.

What changes to expect

Rewards will be distributed as per normal this month, but by October there will be major changes to the tiers available on my Patreon and the Discord server will also undergo major changes. 

Please read further to learn more. 

Overview

As of October, there will be 5 new tiers.

• $1 Tier - Voidsent
• $5 Tier - Sin Eater 
• $15 Tier - Cardinal Virtue
• $20 Tier - Lightwarden
• $45 Tier - Eden Prime 

What will these tiers receive in terms of rewards?

All tiers above $5 will receive monthly rewards, ranging from self-made hair meshes to self-made clothing meshes. Of course, I'll also need your help to decide what styles you'd like to see me create, and as such, there will be several channels for submissions. Patrons can vote on each other's submissions. There will be commission give-aways whenever I am available to do so. 

$1-5 Tiers will receive experimental work, like accessories and single-race hairstyles. Patrons of the Eden Prime tier will be given access to special monthly polls to decide on which submissions will be used as an influence for the month's reward.

TL;DR version of rewards:

Voidsent & Sin Eaters: Accessories and WIP, voting & submission access
Cardinal Virtue: Hair
Lightwarden: Clothes
Eden Prime: Exclusive Voting (Final decision)

NOTE: Rewards stack.

Conclusion

In general, the plan is to simplify my Patreon greatly and lower the average price point. My aim is to offer more for less with these changes, resulting in happier patrons and a happier me! 

You can expect these changes to go live anywhere from late September to early October. Rewards will be distributed via E-mail - so that won't change. 

There will be an announcement beforehand so you aren't taken terribly by surprise.

Any questions or concerns? Feel free to either DM me or leave a comment, and I'll do my best to respond in a timely manner. 

Note: September rewards will be released by the 10th this month.
