Plans for Increased uploads, change in pricing

Yes, I know, this isn´t necessarily something you want to hear about, but there are 2 points that need addressing.

1.

At the beginning of next month, I will be switching the payment schedule to up-front payment. 

What does this mean for you?

Nothing.

It wont change anything for existing patreons. you will still be charged at the first day of every new month, as always.

The main reason for this decision is the increasingly annoying fact that I have like 30 people every month subscribing, grabbing the high-tier benefits, and immediately leaving again. 

And I have been contacted by multiple people by now, who told me that the current billing schedule can sometimes cause issues if you are from china, which is another reason for the switch.

2.

And now the biggie that will cost me half of my subscribers:

There will be changes in pricing.

Wait, wait, hear me out...

When i started this little venture 2 Years ago, I would never have thought that it could possibly become a viable source of income. And while its not yet enough to cover my living expenses, its getting close.

So in short, i want to change this. I want this to become my main job (rather than my current student job). 

I want a significantly higher upload-schedule, I want to improve my animation skills to introduce some more rapey action into executions. I want to lauch a discord to share more of my development process and give better support if stuff doesn't work for you.

But all this takes time, and because I don't necessarily like working for below minimum wage, I unfortunately need to raise prices.

planed new pricing points:

1€ - tier will remain at 1€

3€ - tier will be increased to 6€ 

6€ -tier will be increased 10€

So, how will this work?

new tiers with these new prices will be added next month, and the old ones will be set to hidden.plans are to keep the old tiers active until August, so you have plenty of time to decide if the new content is worth your money.

IMPORTANT: in short, everyone who is CURRENTLY subscribed can remain with the current pricing until August.

I hope this is somewhat understandable to you. If you have any questions or thoughts on this, feel free to pm me or leave a comment.
