Level change & Discord access (Patreon)

Hello folks!

A topic has been bothering me for a long time. I live in an EU country. That's actually a good thing. What's not good are the high taxes in Europe. Patreon had to introduce a tax change a long time ago.

This means that taxes on benefits must be repatriated to the patron's country of origin. As far as I understand. In Germany that is 19%. In Austria even 20% etc. Furthermore, we have a progressive recession in the EU, which makes the situation even more difficult for patrons.

If a patron from Austria or Germany would like to take out a membership with me at the ★ All In One ★ level, they must pay as follows.

Example EUR
Austria 6,80 + 20% tax = 8,16
Germany 6,80 + 19% tax = 8,09

Example USD
Austria 7.30 + 20% tax = 8.76
Germany 7.30 + 19% tax = 8.69

This tax issue is significantly dampening the mood of patrons in the EU area. The state collects these taxes, not Patreon or me. I have lost almost all of these members in the EU area. Almost every patron from the EU area has complained about the taxes.

For this reason, I will make two changes to counteract the problem somewhat.

New LEVEL ★ VIDEOS ★
The VIDEOS level is introduced. The price is 5 euros (5,37 USD). This level includes the same features as ★ All in One ★. However, the level is about 25% cheaper. This is an enormous advantage for patrons from third countries, as these patrons do not have to pay taxes. If the 6.80 euros are too expensive for you, you can downgrade for free.

LEVEL ★ All in One ★ -  ★ Joint project work ★
Patreon offers Discord access via membership (tiers). I would like to use this. Access is intended for those who support me permanently. I would like to give you the opportunity to choose outfits, hair and make-up and discuss what suits the scene. The All in One level is renamed 'Joint Project Work'. I would like to implement the following at the beginning.

Story and outfit design
Once the room and lighting are ready, you will receive brief information about what the upcoming project is about. Two outfits per model are then suggested and can be discussed. Items of clothing can be exchanged or replaced. As a rule, the outfit that received the most likes on Discord is chosen. Surveys in this regard will no longer be conducted on Patreon.

Hair and make-up
This option will not always be available. There are several options for Dina, Helia, Ona and Gwen. Not so much with Seline, Kayci or Stella.

Early access to previews and WIP clips
Rough drafts will also be published in the form of previews on Discord. These will not be published on Patreon. If a rough draft is well received, I will use that draft as a camera angle. I will also suggest multiple camera angles. Only the finished camera angles will be posted on Patreon. Once a WIP clip is completed, it will immediately be available on Discord in 4K. This can be, among other things, 4-5 days before the Patreon publication.

Things will definitely be a little bumpy on Discord at first. Like everything that is newly introduced. But that will definitely go away with time. This gives the community the opportunity to get closer to the course of the project and also influence it a little. I have to point out that I won't commit to anything on Discord. If the community does not agree on the choice of something, I will take over the decision.

LEVEL ☆ WIP animation ☆
This layer will be deleted. It is hardly used. A few WIP animations will be included in ◇ Previews ◇ in the future. The downgrade to the Previews level is free of charge.

The finished video will always be published on Patreon. The ★ VIDEOS ★ and ★ Joint project work ★ levels have access to the video.

The last WIP video is already available on Discord. I'll post it on Patreon when the level transition/change is complete. All these changes will be rolled out in the coming days.
