Campaign updated
Added 2017-07-18 04:22:41 +0000 UTCHi guys,
Goals and rewards have been updated to reflect what we talked about in the last posts. The new rewards are based on what you suggested me and were applicable.
Here is a recap of the changes which are not reflected on rewards and goals :
- Glassix now has a one month BETA version and will be released publicly and for free after this one month.
- Glassix post will remain public to avoid displeasing long time players who can't pledge.
- Future Glassix polls will become a 1$ reward.
- Previously released posts and polls will remain public if they were. This updates will only affect future content.
Some other clarifications about my campaign :
- Games besides Glassix will not be released publicly nor freely after 1 month. These games are (and have always been) intended as a 10$ reward.
- My aim is to work half time on my adult business and release one version each month of at least one game. This work time does not include public relations on Patreon and forums which actually takes more and more time as the community grows. This schedule also gives me more liberty to give extra work in the event a monthly update takes me more time than those 2 planned weeks. I do not mind giving extra when necessary.
- For those wondering, the 1500$ goal is aimed at half time work. However, the current monthly versions are already taking me this half time each month which means I've been working at a loss of a few hundreds dollars each month lately. I did not mind last year but now that my personal situation changed, I'm quite forced to apply this change in my campaign. It's not just a greedy and thoughtless act.
- Currently, I'm focusing on Glassix because I do not have enough income to pay the necessary assets for Lust Complex. I'm hoping to get a little more income starting next month to cover this problem.
- I plan to communicate more about my plans in all my games. I want to avoid what happened with the AI update where some patrons felt betrayed because of my lack of communication.
About the new rewards :
- For the 15$ reward, this one is tricky because it might happen that no polls would be started the month a patron pledged to get this reward. To cover this problem, I'll try to communicate one month in advance about the next month polls for private games.
- The 15$ polls access concerns games polls and their content. In the event a poll concerns a general matter about my campaign, this one will be released publicly to get more opinions.
- For the 25$ reward, I had announced it at 20$ but I can't change the amount when there are patrons pledging for it so I'll leave it at 25$ since it's mainly an extra reward.
If something is not clear or needs more explanations, let me know asap since you might not be the only person confused. I'll try to clarify any missing points.
Thank you all for your understanding in this crucial change in my campaign. I'll do my best to keep releasing quality versions each month !

2017-07-18 19:04:53 +0000 UTCwith your model you are not since for the most part the 10$ pledge is not meant to be continual. So it is the most sensible thing to do :) The only concern there is for that system is that a person can pledge a few days before the month end and then will pay 10$ again after the same few days when the new month starts, but in that case that person should wait if he/she/it doesn't want to pay 10$ again so soon. And it makes your work so much easier since you can just have a post with all that specific stuff and don't need to worry about sending out emails with all the stuff... Well except for the final version of the game to the past 10$ pledgers anyways :)

2017-07-18 08:08:20 +0000 UTCActually, it was one thing I was thinking about when updating the campaign. I got several requests to access the games right away and the upfront payment feature on Patreon would make things easy to handle. I was thinking about starting a poll to get payers opinions but I see any downsides to this feature since once you pledged, you can download the games right away then edit your pledge again if you want to lower the amount or cancel it, Meaning it's a win-win for everybody so there'd be little point to start a poll for this. Except if I'm missing something.

2017-07-18 08:00:15 +0000 UTCI have one thing to add, make your patreon instant pay when pledging, and then make a 10$ post with all your games and all 10$ stuff, so when we pledge 10 dollars we don't have to wait to receive the goodies :)
