New Rewards Announcement (Patreon)

First off I'd like to say thanks to all of you who played the game demo, it's been a lot of fun hearing back from you in the last 24 hours. And if you have more specific feedback you'd like to share, such as what you liked, what you didn't like, and what you'd like to see in the future updates, feel free to send me a PM. 

As you can imagine, the game is going to shake things up in the reward tiers around here. And I'm also taking this chance to do some house cleaning on rewards that aren't as good as they could be. So I wanted to take a moment and outline what's being added or shuffled around.

-I'll soon be changing the first stretch goal. The one I had, where I promised to hire on help at 1,800 per month, has essentially been reached. I'm hiring Kal to help with a variety of tasks to make game and comic production go smoothly, on top of the programming he already does.

-I've added access to the latest build of the game whenever it's released to the $1 tier.

-I'm not showing commission access as a reward anymore, even if it is still something I do for supporters. To be clear, I'll still be working through my backlog, and as supporters you're all welcome to message me with ideas and get on the waiting list, but I don't feel right about advertising access as a reason to join anymore. I don't want someone pledging because they want a commission only to have me tell them they'll be waiting several months before I can get to them.

-The $15 tier has been reworked for two reasons: One is that in three years, very few people have requested the optional perks that were offered with the tier. (Those being character avatars and drawing critiques.) And the other reason is that if a bunch of new supporters suddenly did sign up and start requesting, it wouldn't be long before I'd get overwhelmed. So now that reward offers your name in the credits during every build of the game. If you're currently at $15 plus, expect your name to be in the next update. 

-The last change is upcoming, as there are still some mechanics I need to figure out. The first thing is that access to voting polls will be moved down to the $5 tier. The reason being that voting will likely play a large role in the process of game development, and it only makes sense to put that reward where more people will be able to participate. (As it is now, I sometimes have polls that only rack up around a dozen votes total.) Taking its place in the $10 tier will be access to an exclusive discord channel where I'll be posting work in progress images and random sketches. That's why this one will take some time to implement. I don't know exactly how to go about that one. I need to go over it with some friends and figure it out. I'll be sure to announce when I make the change.

And that covers it! Thank you again to everyone here for your support, and I'm glad to have you along as I do my best to evolve this page to provide the best content I'm capable of.
