Patreon Charge Changed To By Update.

Added 2018-09-22 04:13:13 +0000 UTC

I'm just letting everyone know that sometime within the next few days, before the next month starts, I will be changing the way in which I charge people. I have decided to change to charging by update, versus by month for a few reasons...

1) I do not produce visible content to people on a monthly basis, and as a result, I feel it silly to charge by month.

2) Despite specifying that you should only donate based on how P-S is versus how it will be, I have found that the fact any money is being dumped into me by month has made me feel obligated to work on P-S, when I do not want that.

3) Altering the method to by update would mean I wouldn't feel pressure to work on the project. Which would allow me to potentially work on other projects as well.

As an aside, I think the minimum amount of additions required to be an update worthy of charging would be 500 new screens. This is a very low number for me, but I want to set it low, in-case people really want to see a small addition I made at some point. I think the lowest update I've done for P-S has been 2,100 lines, so yeah, it will usually be that at least.

Other changes that are going to be made, is that I am going to remove all of the Patreon tiers, and just make one, which will allow you to donate any amount you want. In the future, if I opt to put in Patreon goals, I will add those options in as fixed amounts.

I am not entirely sure how that will work, but I would imagine each person will have to submit their patron to me all over again, which is fine.

Thanks for the continued support, and I hope these changes are fine with everyone. I think they make a lot more sense. We will discuss Patreon goals and such more in the future.
