Untitled (Patreon)

Hey all, heads up, I just sent off the emails for voting on stuff. It should be to the email that you signed up with. If you supported last time at the $5/ $10 tiers and can't find your respective email(s), message me and I'll sort something out.

So I have been doing some thinking about how to handle tier rewards. One major snag that's come up is the delay between when a new release comes out and when pledges register on Patreon, which makes it tough to know at what point to close polls and implement content decided by it. I'd rather not have to delay working on the game just to wait for pledges to go through and for votes to come in. And call me presumptuous, but I don't think that's what you guys would want either.

The other thing is, I'm starting to realize that it's a little shortsighted of me to just be like "choose 3 kinks and I'll write them!" What I mean is, some scenes are just one offs with generic mooks, while others are indepth, multiple-choice type scenarios that might change depending on your choices/circumstances. And I'm trying to delve more into the latter, since while it's more work, it's also much more interesting both to you guys and to me. But putting an arbitrary number requirement on that is, well I get the feeling that might not be in everyone's best interest.

So after much deliberation, here's what I'd like to try. You all know I've introduced a bunch of different storylines without really going anywhere with them yet, and that's kinda lame and unfulfilling. What makes sense is to focus on one storyline per update, and do a good and lengthy job with it. And here's the thing. Each storyline has certain themes/kinks associated to them:

Storyline 1. Don/slavers: slavery and slave owning

Storyline 2. Transylvania/succubus Tower: magic/mind manipulation (like hypnosis, or mind control for example), [F2M, futa and general body transformations]

Storyline 3. The Torture Rack: BDSM relationship (as a subbie)

Storyline 4. Meat Parasites: parasite infection, alien monsters

(And I'll add more as current ones close and new ones open up)

What I'm thinking is that I'd like to revise the $10 tier, and have it be for voting on what major storyline I should work on. And what I could try, is opening up a thread specifically for $10 tier supporters to discuss ideas for what I'm currently working on. The only catch there is that might tread into spoiler territory, but I guess that's on me to be careful about.

That just leaves the question of what to do about the delay for votes to come in. What I'm thinking is, votes should go towards what I'll do in the NEXT time period instead of the current one. Here's a diagram:

So what that means, is upper tier rewards will be based around being 'one version ahead', meaning content voted on through those tiers won't appear in the next immediate release, but the one following it. It's just so that I don't have to delay working on the game while I wait for pledges to process and votes to come in.

That's the situation right now. Sorry about the confusion, as I'm still working out the kinks in the system. I've updated the tier rewards, so take a look to make sure it's okay with you. Oh, and I also updated the main page with a huge text dump about some psychopath. Maybe take a look?

And, if you're curious, here's what the various clothing options are: http://imgur.com/a/fRyRq (what appears in the game won't be exactly these, but something along the same lines)
