Reinventing the Patreon Tiers (Patreon)
Content
I'm still lost, I'll be honest, but I am trying to find a new wave of enthusiasm, starting by reinventing the Patreon tiers.
As you know, our corporate overlords in all their wisdom, decided that we are not allowed to offer our fans "additional services" on external sites, namely codes and namely Patreon. This really, really killed our ability to offer a payment alternative or a flat out alternative to (((their))) payment gateway/website, which we knew a lot of you took issue with. What sucks, is they now actually do nothing for us (removing their mailshot feature was the last straw) too so it royally fucking sucks.
It also killed an alternative revenue stream that we seriously needed to be frank, and having done this to myself in the last few months by stalling on event releases, I still want to get artwork out to you guys and girls.
So, I've reinvented the Patreon tiers to be focused 100% on artwork. From this point, the tier benefits will give fans the opportunity to see exclusive behind the scenes artwork from the creative process for CryptidTech, which will include lineworks and in-progress pieces, with the upper tiers now having high res versions of the finished artwork found in some of our games, and even seeing the finished animated cutscenes too.
Starting later this week, we will also start releasing various historical adult content from our games via Patreon support too on a biweekly basis which will be accessible to anyone supporting at $10 or above. As there are 6 years between our beginning and our current position, this stream will give new blood the opportunity to see some of our sexier content even if they don't really game, or feel like grinding away in Taps which supporting what we are doing too.
I'm hoping by changing the focus of the Patreon to be about pure creativity, it will encourage some people to reconsider supporting us even if they have dropped of playing Taps or don't feel like dropping cash every blue moon on events. Im also hoping it allows me to schedule my time a bit better to ensure I can drop new content out regularly too.
Again, thanks for all the support and kind words whilst I try and get back on the horse. The rest of the team have definitely been busy even if I haven't!
