Pledged Update, Release Plans and Patreon Rewards

Hello everyone,

Regarding this pledge: Like last July, I'm going to run a pledge in order to get some more commissions placed. The person I use for commissions is available right now, and getting them ordered would really help move things forward. This pledge will cover the 0.12 patron-only beta and the 0.13 public release. 0.12 will drop in December and it's looking like 0.13 will most likely end up in early January barring a miracle.

As always, the last pledge is refundable, so if you have any issues with this pledge, you are free to go to your billing settings and opt out OR message me in December and I can refund the pledge. I appreciate your support!

Release Information: The patron-only release will drop between December 9th and December 16th. The release will contain 5 new maps, 4 new quests (some multi-stage), new artwork, the first battle-h enemy, loads of exploration events, and fixes for all the bugs that were reported in 0.11. 

The public 0.13 release will then add to that and polish what there based on feedback. Since I'm running this pledge, I also hope 0.13 will have the final menu systems in place. This pledge covers BOTH of these releases which I feel is more than adequate to be considered a "major" release.

Patreon Reward Information: Given that another pledge is being run, there will be another patron-feedback poll in December. This will cover more fetishes and feedback on upcoming enemies.

Additionally, a patron pool will be run in either late December or early January for $20+ patrons. Those selected will be able to design an enemy and at least one of their h-attacks (I will retain final say and it has to be game appropriate).

Future Plans for 2023: Based on the last few months, I believe that a pledged release every 2-3 months is doable. Given current progress, the 0.14 patron-only release and 0.15 public release should get us through Chapter 1. With this in mind, I'm hopeful that I can get through Chapter 3, maybe Chapter 4 next year, which would put the game about 70-80% complete and on pace for a 2024 full release. I know, this is very speculative, but I want to give you all at least some idea of long term goals.

Regarding Patreon rewards, tier rewards will go into effect after the 0.13 release. meaning, patron-only releases will be given to $10+ patrons first and all patrons later. Voting will be restricted to applicable tiers, etc. I will remind everyone when this goes into effect. Given the projects history and how long some of you have been with me, I didn't want to start restricting releases until I'd gotten a few out the door.

I think that covers things. Thank you for your support and I greatly look forward to seeing what you guys think of the upcoming Chapter 1 content! Woohoo!
