Comic Update 004 - 8/2/19

Hey peeps!

For this comic update I wanted to open the floor for discussion, particularly the tiers system I currently have in place. I want to make some changes and I want your feedback to help improve and make the most of it. Here's what I was thinking:

First, I'm going to be removing the shirt and the PDF copies of the pages from the rewards tier for the benevolent demons. 

For the shirt, all of you that have joined the benevolent demons tier from the beginning until now will still be getting your shirts, I just hadn't realized how much the venture costs and don't know if I can keep creating those for all new patrons. I plan to send shirts out this month so if your address or shirt size has changed at all please let me know.

For the PDF pages, I don't have a set-in-stone method to give these out just yet and don't want to keep you all confused as to what's going on. I think it's best just to remove that reward for now and bring it back up if we take the story to print or solidify a publishing deal.

Second, I was wondering how you all felt about the tier system. We had a couple patrons drop this past month (for their own reasons) and I wanted to gather your feedback on how you felt about it all. Do you feel like you're getting what you want out of this? Is there something missing that you really want? How can I improve your experience with the comic and me (through Patreon)?

The reason I ask is because I was thinking about moving the access and the "paid" benefits down to the $1 tier and make the $5 and $10 tiers optional for any who really want to support. I understand money can be tight sometimes and I want to make sure you all feel comfortable making payments as a means to support the comic's development as opposed to being forced to pay me large sums for "forced content" (as a former patron put it).

Thank you all for reading! And thanks in advance for your feedback

PS I will be putting off July's Q&A so I can gather more questions about the comic. Because of this, I'm planning to do a two-part August Q&A so I can provide more info and stuff.
