As promised, the problematic tier intended for one-time donations has been retired. This does no harm to existing users or their access to Sprucemarks so no worries there.
More interestingly, all tiers have been updated and a new premium tier with exclusive rewards has been added. The currently available tiers are as follows.
Midnight Snack - $1
All Night Buffet - $2
Smörgåsbord - $5
I should mention that the previous perk to have your name on the official Nightmode website has been retired. Other than that, there are more benefits and more varied benefits than before. Speaking of which, let's go over some scenarios for existing Patrons.
Scenarios
If you are currently a member of the Midnight Snack tier or are making a custom donation of $1 a month, you are set. Nothing to worry about.
If you are currently a member of the All Night Buffet tier, you will automatically get access to 3D designs, schematics, and other digital files that I will be posting in the future.
If you are making a custom donation of $2 a month or more, you should consider switching to the All Night Buffet tier. Your membership to a tier is what determines your benefits so please consider joining a tier or contacting me for assistance.
If you are making a custom donation of $5 a month or more, you should absolutely consider switching to the new Smörgåsbord tier. Your membership to this tier in particular gets you a ton of benefits, including exclusive benefits found in no other tier!
If you are currently making a custom donation and are interested in joining a tier, please be aware that you may be charged tax depending on your location. Patreon is currently allowing custom donations to be tax free but depending on the benefits of your tier, you may be subject to tax on those benefits. This is something that is very likely to fluctuate over time as tax laws, Patreon, or even your own geographical location changes.
That about covers things. A lot to consider so please feel free to explore the tier landscape and of course, contact me if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.
Cheers everyone. ^_^
