Redecorating, plus new GD+ Tier information

So, I've redecorated my patreon a bit- added info about KISHIKAISEI, a $500 goal, as well as a shiny new Game Development Plus tier.
It's a tad expensive. But for good reason: it comes with a lot of good perks. 
Let's go through them one-by-one:


 ▶ Custom role + color in the KV/VA Discord 
Wow! You want a custom role? You got it! For as long as you're on the tier, you get access to a nice red ☆GD+ Patron☆ role. 

You'll be able to choose a custom (SFW) role name and color afterwards, and you can change it whenever you like. Just ping me in the new #💖gd-patron-only channel. The only restriction is that it can't be attempting to resemble the Moderator or KVVA role colors.



▶ Your character gets a cameo in-game!
Yup, this is a thing. If you want your OC to appear in-game (as a cameo, not a route), then hop on in here. It's a one-time perk, so you don't have to stay on the tier throughout the game's entire development. You can join for a month, send me your character info, and then leave the next month. When KISHIKAISEI is finished, your OC will be in the game... somewhere. Longer-term GD+ patrons might get more prevalent cameos, though..

 ▶ Access to full development of KISHIKAISEI-- including spoiler content 
In order to keep the game, well, interesting, I'm trying to not be too obvious about what the game is about, who is in it, etc. Most development stuff is on the Art tier already, after all. But that's all spoiler-free development stuff. Some people wanna see the damn spoilers. This is for you! <3
You get access to the full development, with most (if not all) updates being sent out once monthly through the Patreon messaging system. These updates will include everything I've gotten done in the previous month, including code, CGs, builds of the game, sprites, ideas, anything and everything. And probably a super long essay about why everything is the way it is. Having to fulfill this also gives me an incentive to get more done, yknow?
These rewards are sent to your Patreon inbox on the 15th of every month. 

  ▶ Merch sent to you as soon as it's produced!
Yes! With merch slowly becoming, well, a thing, patrons of this tier will get sent one of every merch item I purchase in bulk. I'm currently working on getting keychains in of Eve. I don't get merch often, so you'll be the one to get every single thing I design and make.
However, shipping is expensive. I'm happy to ship to USA, Mexico, and Canada, but other countries can charge an arm and a leg for shipping. It's not usually that bad if you forgo tracking (IE sending a keychain in a plain white envelope), but that's not always an option, and it makes it much easier to lose your parcel. So, depending on the cost of shipping, countries outside of USA / Canada / Mexico may have to pay the shipping fee. 
 
 ▶ Shoutout in KISHIKAISEI!
It's a shoutout! Havin' your name in the credits of what is absolutely sure to become the world's #1 indie game? What an opportunity!
In all seriousness, this is just a little extra bonus as a thank-you. And of course, it won't be delivered for some time (how long does it take to develop a visual novel from the ground up again?), but I thought it was worth mentioning. 

 ▶ A monthly, private, one-minute custom R15 audio!
I don't take audio commissions, so this is the only way to get custom audios. These can be up to R15-rated, meaning they can be kinda erotic, but no actual sexual content in the audio. You can send me a script, a request, anything. Around 100 - 120 words is one minute of audio- here's an example. Audios might be slightly longer than a minute, but will never be shorter. You're free to share them or keep them to yourself- they're all yours!
I'm telling you now- you do not want to hear me sing or attempt an accent. I will try these things, but you won't like the outcome. And you can't refund the request, either. Just as a little precaution, I have to say that I reserve the right to deny any request and ask that you choose another. No super funky fetishy weird stuff. 
If you want longer audios, you can "save up" minutes, as long as you stay on the tier. Once you're off the tier, you can't make requests, so make sure you use em up!
You must send me your request by the 7th of every month. The audio will be delivered to you by the 15th of the month after. (EX: For a request sent January 2nd, you would get the custom audio by February 15th at the latest)

 ▶ More perks later, hopefully?
This is a big step! I'm going to be busier than ever. I'm gonna drive myself absolutely bonkers now with working on custom audios, school, patron exclusive audios, KISHIKAISEI development...
But that's alright. You guys deserve the best, and I'm here to deliver. This is fun for me to do because of you!
Thank you so much for your support!
