Tiers?

I agree with this. Tiers should not lock away content. Delayed release to lower tiers by a maximum of 2 weeks is probably acceptable. Most importantly though, talking about tiers when all you are releasing are bits of random artwork seems a bit premature.

This is probably echoing some of what has already been said, so if there are tiers, I think it would be better for them not to hide content. There are a couple of things you can do that would still be neat, while avoiding locking content behind tier levels. You might allow for top tier patrons to design a character that has a cameo in the game or show up in the background. You could also have an in game thank you page. Another thing that I believe was mentioned was giving higher tier patrons more of a say in content or direction via polls. Something else you could do would be to make and release easter eggs with hints or codes to them to patrons early.

Thank you so much for your thoughts, we might not be able to implement all of these, but we'll definitely consider them all! There's some good ideas here :D

Sort of what others have said, you can find a ton of inspiration from other adult game developers on Patreon. Personally, I don't have much I would ask for outside of concept art and developer-sided stuff.

well, i think some exclusive (even if just for a time) images would always be welcome ofc. But I'm not an artist so I don't know if this would add too much load for them and end up slowing the work on the game (which i'd hate!). But maybe some behind-the-scenes? work in progress? deleted stuff that didn't make it into the game? Stickers for Telegram? Phones backgrounds? most of these you already do though. Personally I'd like to have access to some devlogs if you think it'd be interesting, as i like game dev as a topic (how do you work, how do you plan, teamwork, writing etc.) Also, I think it would be really cool to be able to participate in some (minor) choices. Maybe the possibility to vote for different outfits/details/scenes (especially if you're undecided!). This could scale with tiers too, like giving more votes to ppl who are in higher tiers. Something from the writers too? short bonus stories? Maybe something about the past of our heroines! For the highest/limited tiers, maybe getting a secondary character made of them, with a few lines to say. For the lower ones, just their names written/referenced somewhere in the game. Just throwing random ideas here, and I'm sure some are too much work to justify it, but i hope it helps!

We're working on making a shinier and better discord, and patrons will get their own role with access to a couple of special channels :D "Lovers" and "Suckers" Might be too on the nose, but different names for people in each tier is cool 🤔

I feel like you shouldn't miss out on the opportunity to make tiers or patron discord roles for "Lovers" and "Suckers," or is that too on the nose?
