Tier Changes and an Update on 0.12 (Patreon)

I have good news and bad news. First, the bad: it's looking like 0.12 is going to require much more work than I had initially thought, and won't be ready for release this month. Now, the good news: I do have a substantial amount of new content ready for release that isn't related to 0.12. For these reasons, I will be releasing this month's Early build in a few days, in the form of 0.11.1. 0.12 will then be released in December, along with some special Christmas content. My only other option was to rush to complete 0.12 this month and upload a buggy, bare-bones version of the update... but I think it would be better for all of us if I take my time and get it right instead.

Here's what you'll find in this month's build:
- The holstaurus's Lover sex scene & CG
- Professor Laurel's selfie CG
- The second date location: a fancy restaurant
- The "Lady in Black" quest: a substantial side-quest which serves as a prologue to 0.12's main quest.
- New "casual" outfits for NPCs, plus the ability to make an NPC wear the outfit of your choice (work, casual, or swimsuit) at all times
- New music: confession scenes, Haremon battles, and the restaurant
- A new monster: the Cockatrice

I hope you're looking forward to it, and I hope you'll forgive me for being too busy to complete 0.12 by the end of this month.

I've also been thinking a lot about Patreon, and making the most efficient use of the tier system. I've just implemented the first change: starting in 0.11.1, E-cup patrons will have full access to the debug console. This in-game tool will allow you to cheat and break the game in a variety of ways, all using the same interface I use to test the game. (See the end of this post for examples!) This is my way of saying thank-you to those of you who have chosen to support the game at the highest level.

There's another new benefit to this tier, as well: starting with 0.12, I'll be allowing E-cup patrons access to unstable builds! This means you'll be able to experience new features before anyone else (and maybe help me squash a few bugs while you're at it!) These builds will usually be uploaded a few days before Early builds are published, but I might end up uploading more of these unstable builds throughout the month if there's new content to share.

And that's not all! I've also decided to lower the price of the E-Cup tier to $20. I hope this will allow more of you to experience the joy of messing around with the debug console! (Current E-Cup patrons will need to re-join the new tier, as Patreon doesn't allow me to transfer you to it myself.)

That's all for now, but I'll end with a rundown of a few of the things you can currently do with the debug console. Many more features will be coming later, and E-cups should feel free to suggest more functions!

- Gain any amount of money, or any quantity of any item (you might even be able to find some items that aren't legitimately obtainable yet!)
- Add a Haremon of any species to your party (you can even have more than 1 of the same species)
- Warp to any scene in the game, including sex scenes and seasonal events
- Set any Haremon or NPC's affection to any number
- Teach a Haremon any technique in the game, at any level of mastery
- Unlock any CG in the Gallery
- Instantly boost any fighter's stats, KO enemies, or inflict status conditions
- Add any quest, or set a quest to any step of completion
- Set a character to any state of nudity during any scene
- Increase your Guild Rank, gain Guild Seals, or make any quest available on the Guild Board
- Warp to town from any scene, battle, or dungeon 

As always, thanks so much for your support!
