A note about in-game tributes (Patreon)
Content
Hi everyone!
As I mentioned last month, the E-cup tier is growing very large, to the point that it would be impractical to continue jamming everyone's name into the lab/guild background. For that reason, I've come up with a different way to honor our most generous patrons, and in a way that feels a little more special.
Starting in 0.16, the names of E-cup patrons will be used for two purposes:
1) Questgivers: The names of E-cup patrons will be appear as questgivers at the Guild. This means that your name has a chance of appearing on the Job Board every time a new quest is generated, as well as in the To-Do app under the "questgiver" heading.
2) Laurel's Lovers: There is a new dialogue option at the lab called "Conquests". Choosing this option will cause Laurel to open up her Little Black Book, which brings up a list of all E-cup patrons. Selecting a name will allow you to read a short diary entry about Laurel's sexual encounter with that person. There is a unique comment for each and every E-cup patron, so your shout-out is completely unique! Be warned, however, that Laurel is a picky lover, and may not have been completely satisfied with your performance...
Those of you at the E-cup tier should let me know if you'd like to opt-out of this for some reason, or if you'd like a different name to be used instead of your Patreon display name. By default, I'll be truncating the surnames of anyone who has a "real" name as their Patreon display name, just because it might be a bit weird to have people's full names in this kind of feature.
Note: as with all patron tributes, I will compile a list of active patrons a day or two before officially releasing each build. For this reason, if you pledge very close to the release of a new build, your name may not appear until the next month.
I hope you think this is a good replacement for the old system! Thanks as always for your continued support, and I'll see you soon with 0.16!
