Tier Changes, Stickers, Branding, Oh my!
Added 2018-06-12 21:25:09 +0000 UTCTo start, here's a quick summary of all the changes
> $1 now gets screenshot and image production posts like $5 does (Gifs, audio clips, and other forms of production posts are still kept to $5)
> $5 now gets video clips like $20 used to
> $10 and $20 tiers removed entirely (With rewards pretty much merged with $5)
> New experimental $15 tier for mailing stickers! (Limited to 5 patrons to start)
Now that that's done. Let me just say thank you for pledging to the tiers as they were, but I think you'll enjoy these changes! And let me explain why I made some of these switch arounds.
> $1 (Now named "Appetizer" tier) I wanted to give $1 patrons a little something else for going out of their way to give a dollar. It's not much but the thought goes miles! So I brought screenshots from the 5 tier down to the 1. They're nearly workless posts, so why keep them so exclusive?
> $2 (Now called "Side Dish" tier) Just a name change to match the others in a sort of comical progression of the stages of dinner. A little more fun I think.
> $10 and $20 (Deleted) This was a simple case of me under-delivering and not seeing the point in these tiers. Rewards of video clips and asset releasing is not at all good for an animation based Patreon. Video clips could never be released frequently, even monthly, because of the speed of animation. As for asset packs, I ended up not feeling comfortable releasing production assets to strangers with no copyright restrictions. Not that I could even frequently deliver those either.
> $5 (Now called "Main Course" tier) The $20 tier lives on through this tier now, as I've added preview video clips as a potential type of production post, along with the others (gif, audio, etc.)
> $15 ("Dessert" tier) This is sort of a reboot of the old custom mug shipping tier, with a twist! (It's easier for me to mail)
Since this tier is new, I will simply quote the rewards page to fully explain it: "Here's how this works:
I have custom stickers, made by me, stockpiled at my house. Shoot me a message asking for whichever sticker designs you want, (from a list of options) and I'll mail 'em right away! For no charge other than this monthly Patreon fee.
It's like Netflix but for silly little stickers.
You will also receive a Patreon message when I add new stickers to the options!"
The only things left out of that quote is the limit on stickers (10 per month) and the fact that it is experimental, and therefore limited to a small number of Patrons for now.
And that'll do it from me! If you have any feed back on the changes, let me here it. (It's impossible to miss messages on Patreon)
Thank you all for the support so far! You're funding some amazing work behind the scenes right now. (Previews to come ¬ ⌣ ¬)

Though I must make note that as a general security, I don't wanna mail any until at least one payment goes through so that I don't spend time and money on making and mailing the stickers and then have you get declined or unpledge before a payment. It can happen and it's nothing against you personally.
