Monthly Upgrade Plan and Policy Change (Patreon)

Greetings friends! Most of your messages should have been answered by now. If not, shot me another one.

For months half of my time spent on replying was telling our supporters they are not charged at all till the beginning of the upcoming month and are free to edit or delete their subscription with no impact, and new build will be available next month if they don't opt out. This billing mechanism is apparently not very intuitive to new comers and troublesome to explain. Although our intention was to prevent anyone from donating before carefully thinking through, it is becoming more and more taxing to repetitively clarify this issue even after a Q&A was put up. It's also kind of unfair to delay the release for a whole month for new pledgers, come to think of it.

So I'm thinking about switching the campaign to pay-upfront next month, and all new builds shall be released on the front page as soon as they are ready.

There are already near 400 names in the game's credits list and it is still growing - we decided to raise the donation requirement to Elite tier for a new pledger to be added to the credits as from next month. Previous supporters are not affected. For everyone who concerns about the overall progress, the game is estimated to be completed by Christmas at our current speed, and we are going to continuously support the game and add more costumes even after that. Still, shit can happen, but everything is great by far.

As for 1.14, most previous items will be replaced by more detailed and futuristic style models, and Erika will have real next-gen grade hair. An experimental VR patch will also be released. New animation sets are slightly BDSM oriented, featuring spanking, handcuff and restrained sex.

Monthly poll for May will be held later today. All patrons of student tier or above are eligible to vote.
