This week in the Forest! #3 (Carrot log: Patreon Tier Restructuring!)

Ay folks! Time for another weekly post!

First I wanted to say WELCOME to all the new folks who have joined over the past week! Happy to have y'all, and hope you can enjoy our game, our posts, and our community!

Now onto game stuff! As y'all know the first half of the week we spent preparing for the monthly build! Then the next couple days we took some time off, and here we are! I do have some fun things to show though, so check out this snippet!

Just as well, I've been designing a fun new mini game! I don't want to spoil it yet though! Just know it involves Dustin (the squirrel)!

This week, I'd actually like to talk about some RESTRUCTURING OF TIERS. Particularly Tier 3 and Tier 4. I'd like to Remove the current 15$ tier, and merge it with the 10$ tier! 

This is due to a few reasons:

• Simplification - The discrepancy between the two overcomplicated the tiers, and overcomplicated what I had to deliver. I'd like my commitments to be entirely game focus, and anything else being bonus on top.
• My art priorities are shifting - This is actually a pretty big one. I haven't been wanting to draw as much lately - likely because i've been having a TON of fun exploring 3D! I don't have a ton of extra time, so instead of 2D stuff, I've been focusing more on 3D, making 2D stuff feeling a bit more of a grind. Don't fret though, the art-life is often cyclical. I will be returning to 2D studies for the sake of upping my skills.
• I haven't been keeping up with certain rewards. - Certain rewards like the #DailyCarrot have been difficult to keep up with, since sometimes things are MASSIVE spoilers, and other things I'm doing isn't exactly something fun/convenient to share. Sometimes I'll go weeks doing work like this. So it's not ideal.

So with merging of Tier 3 and 4 - there is also going to be some changes in terms of what is being offered. 

• I will no longer be doing Patreon Poll Sketches! This was, however, a good way to keep me drawing, and I think that's important. I will likely continue to do polls for The New Tier 3 - but they will no longer be monthly guaranteed. 
• #The-Daily-Carrot discord channel is being dropped entirely! This has silver linings though. First, I don't have the stress of failing folks every day for not sharing something. Second, it creates MORE opportunities to share stuff with ALL of our patrons! 

The New Tier 3 (10$) will be the way to influence our game via The Forest of Love polls! We will be doing these at LEAST monthly, and they will be regarding new characters, kinds of sex scenes, pairings, and all sorts of stuff.

--To the folks CURRENTLY on Tier 4 (15$)--

Before this nerf, we are going to do 3 polls for you guys to decide on this month. (Folks interested in the new tier 3, this is what you can expect the polls to be about)

1. Finley (the Ram) and Rascal are going to get it on for an animated scene. You get to help us decide how!

2. The legend of Lanora continues! You guys get to decide on what naughty things she'll be up to!

3. The legend of Lanora continues! A 3rd and final part! What naughty things will she do here?

We recommend keeping your pledge UNTIL you've voted on these. Or you might not be able to see them =(.

-

All other tiers will remain the same!

We will also continue to do occasional polls where all patrons have access, though they will be less often. (Like for Penny's story in October.)

Changes will happen December 1st!

OK hope that made sense! 

I apologize if the changes aren't ideal, and we absolutely appreciate all of the support y'all have been generous enough to give!

Adjustments like these are necessary as production goes on, If anyone has any questions or complaints with the changes, feel free to message me, we'll figure it out!
