important! patreon tier changes & general update
Added 2020-04-05 10:35:07 +0000 UTChello,
first off: if you need to cancel/reduce your pledge, i completely understand. please take care of yourself first and foremost. i hope that my games can give you some respite in this difficult situation, & i'll see you all on the flip side once this is over.
i've decided to make a change to how i do tiers on patreon - this is something i've been thinking about since before, but the past couple of weeks have helped me make my decision.
with the current situation, i don't want anyone to feel like they have to pay extra money to get content. i appreciate all of your support no matter the amount.
here is a summary of the changes:
- all tiers will have access to all content i post for patreon. this includes early access to games before release, the monthly digital postcard, all posts (updates/art/sketches/&c.) on patreon, access to the discord channel, and art collections for games i release.
- i will no longer be releasing test versions of games. creating specific 'test' versions took too much time out of my dev process, so instead i will be moving more towards sharing more images/process posts for all patrons.
- however i still want to give thanks in a 'non-content' way, so all patrons at $3+ tiers will be included on a "thanks for your support!" page on my website (i'm going to work on a good way of displaying this.) unless otherwise requested by you, i will display your name in credits as it is shown on patreon.
- as well, all patrons at $5+ tiers at the time of a game's first release will be included in the credits of the game. the credits will go on the itch.io page summary as well as in the credits.txt file of the game. this is the perk that was previously available at the $15 tier, so the $15 tier will be archived. if you are in the $15 tier currently, please switch to one of the other tiers ($1/$3/$5/$10)
- there will be no special perk for the $10 tier since i will no longer releasing test versions of games. while i appreciate your support if you would like to continue pledging that amount monthly, please do not hesitate to reduce your pledge.
i know this is sudden but i hope you will understand. i'm almost done my nanoreno game (i'm sorry for the delay, private stuff follows: my friend was in hospital waiting on surgery and i was too worried to focus) and you will see it very soon, and the artbook will be available for all of you once i have it prepared.
i hope you are all doing as well as you can be right now and am sending you my love.
