Regarding new tier... And rant post. (Patreon)

Good evening/morning/afternoon, everyone! 

First of all, Lars' day 5 is almost done, we just need to add details here and there.

--

After reading some of the survey forms, it's safe to say that the cameo project will be put into action. A lot of people are interested and oh, when I say cameo, your characters will be involved with the story--not just appearing and then, poof, gone!

Send me your discord ID if you want to contact me, I prefer giving you details on Discord.

   >> We still need your opinions!  Link to survey form. <<

I'm gonna highlight some of the forms from you guys that I found interesting:

"25-50 is far too low, considering your artist deserves more than that for their work, so you're adding content for a loss."

Hmm.. Is it too low though? Let's say someone pledges $50, they are going to pay us $50 a month, and I'm sure the development still going for a loooong time. I may add a time limit to the pledge so whenever I feel like it's enough, whoever pledges that much can switch back to the normal tier.

"Considering it's a limited amount of patrons allowed, I would suggest rewards that would give the people who pledge more ways to get involved in the game's development... So asking for ideas and such. "

Actually, Patrons get to give ideas to us whenever we need it (by making a pool or something else), if you mean in-game, then don't worry, we'll ask you how do you want to be presented in-game.

"I really like the idea of making the patreon characters be involved in the main story or a sub-story. They shouldn't distract from the main characters but it's best if they have a reason for being there as opposed to just a cameo."

Mhm, that's what we're planning on. We won't add your character just like that. We'll see how it fits the story, they will interact with each other, be friends with the main characters, etc.

"What if my character is not a male?"

We accept all kind of genders! There's no need to worry about that!

" Perhaps add a one time gift for joining the tier if you open a merchandise shop...like a free keychain of your own OC - that would be epic~"

Good idea, actually! This is something we might consider!

Extra stuff - you know who you are >> Rant post

"Also, with how derogatory you are towards your own stuff in that post..."

Shoutout to this anonymous person who gave me a great idea regarding the pricing of the tier but at the same time, gave me a nice critique. 

I like your honesty, but hey, I'm not derogatory toward my own stuff! If you mean when I say trashy game and trashy server; whew, you got it all wrong.

thanks, urbandictionary!

...And our server/developer name is literally called trashboidevs.

I'm really proud of my project, my stuff, whatever you call it. I would never derogate my own project! I love my furry bois, I love my ~inferior~ coding for the game, I love my project, I love all you guys!

We want to make our posts feel more personal and not stiff, so you guys can actually feel closer to use through the posts and hopefully put a smile on you guys, but apparently, some of you are misinterpret that and thought that we were mocking our own project.

" I find zero interest in pledging ever." 

If you don't wanna pledge, that's fine. It just means we'll have 1 more extra slot. If you wanna pledge, that's cool. 

The way you word it; it seems like you're not a patron. If you are, feel free to stop pledging if you don't like my posts, if you are not, then it doesn't concern me whether you want to pledge or not. At least thanks for following me?? 

Oh, also, here's a word from the other devs:

"Please don't make value statements on the value of our artist's work without adequately understanding the facts of the situation."

and this one, too:

"Offering your opinion when you don't plan to pledge or pay in the first place is a waste of our valuable time. Please keep it in mind."

It's mostily a joke! 

Well, we love your opinions--good or bad or just simply showing your love toward our project! We'll accept it with open arms.

We're not sure if you misunderstood or what, but when we read it, it felt that you were trying to be rude. We are saddened when we read that, and we accept that and will try to convey our message clearer so there won't be any misunderstandings in the future. This project is more important than you think, especially for me.

...But at the same time, we also have some kind of twisted humor, and we had to be sassy af, so don't mind us if we say something weird.

Please forgive us for the harsh words, we're also humans, we can feel, too. 

End rant.

Thanks for reading everyone!
