[Announcement] New $2 Tier (Patreon)

I made a new Tier at $2 for suggesting and voting in polls, as well as participating in the monthly livestream.

The livestream tomorrow will still be accessible to the $1 Tier. And $1 Tier will still allow you to see every comic page, fan art, or game demo on Patreon. It will also still allow you to suggest characters for the Gesture drawings.

Some time ago, we were thinking about doing a separate Patreon with Personalias only for the Hive. Personalias has been an excellent collaborator on Perpetual Change, and it would have been a way to get him a direct cut of the game's profit. It's hard to evaluate how many people come here just for game projects and how much it represents financially on this Patreon.

Unfortunately, after some thought, I realize that it wouldn't work for me. Not posting on this Patreon in the middle of the week didn't sit well with me. An exclusive Patreon just for the game also implies cranking up productivity to make a monthly demo, which is completely impossible with the work that the Hive represents.

So, I still want to pay Personalias more because he's been the perfect collaborator, and for that, I need to increase prices a bit for this Tier.

Any extra money beyond my objective to pay Perso will help with the game project. I still plan to commission one sketch a month from an artist.

I thought it would make sense to leave the $1 Tier able to see everything on the Patreon and raise prices to $2 for those who want to suggest Fan Art and vote.

Since I take 2 to 3 month breaks every year, that makes this new Tier cost between $18 to $20 a year. I thought it would be a reasonable solution and still relatively cheap.

Hope you understand, see you tomorrow around 3AM New York time for the suggestion stream!
