Updated tier structure (and poll)
Added 2021-03-05 00:59:06 +0000 UTC
So, it's time to talk about the tier re-structuring I mentioned in my last post. As I said, I'm going to change the currency I'm operating with from USD to EUR, and if everything functions as Patreon states, this should update the tier price accordingly. I'll also be tweaking the existing tiers and adding two new ones.
The tier structure will be as follows (every tier contains the benefits of the previous one):
- 2€: Access to Patreon only feed, polls and GGGB v1.2
- 5€: Access to ORS during the final release of each chapter and sneak peeks
- 10€: Access to ORS beta releases
- 20€: Access to ORS Alpha releases
- 30€: Access to WIP and behind the scenes look at the development of new chapters (spoiler warning!)
- 50€: Custom Discord Role and name on the credits of the current game
- 150€: You get to appear in ORS as a background NPC! This tier will be limited to 4 people to begin with.
All tiers grant Discord rewards. Members of the (now vintage) Inner Circle can keep their subscription active and will recieve the benefits from the 50€ tier at their current subscription fee. I'm planning to update the tiers next week, after the release of ORS Chapter 7 final.
So, as you can see, not a big change, but I think the rewards are clearer and better structured this way. You can get access to mostly everything with 5€, having anticipated access to updates up to 20€ and above that options for those who just want to give a bit extra.
The 150€ tier is a bit of an experiment, but I've noticed I should add a few background NPCs in certain scenes and some people have asked me to draw them in-game in the past. So, if you're interested in that, message me and let me know!
Also, let me know your opinion on the new structure in the poll below. Thank you for your continued support guys, thanks to you the game keep growing and getting better. I hope we can keep this going!

So does this mean non-30 euro tier will no longer be able to see BTS of the development? Seems like a waste of opportunity to promote the complexity of your game development process to the public and limit to only a handful of people.

2021-03-05 13:23:14 +0000 UTCI have no problem with changing the currency since since neither USD nor EUR is used where I live. While I'll have to pay little more than before, the difference is very small. You have my continuous support. :)

2021-03-05 09:53:15 +0000 UTCWell, this is a real test of commitment to the project ! I confirm my level if there are no problems with the exchange!The problem is out of the blue and raising the nerves! Humor should help you overcome stress! "The young man asks the pope for 150 euros for training. But Dad was very surprised and said that this is not enough for training ! The son replied that for 150 euros, the girls will teach everything at once!"

2021-03-05 08:25:47 +0000 UTCIs the 150€ tier on going? Or can you pay the 150€ once to be added as a character then drop back down to our original tier for the rest?

2021-03-05 07:37:56 +0000 UTCI would really like to change my tier, but right now I've a budget and these times are very hard. I´m from Costa Rica 5€ increase the final paid each month a little, not much that is a good news but I can't increase the tier to 10€.

2021-03-05 03:07:43 +0000 UTCNew Patreon. I was really considering the $20 option but changing that to €20 is a 20% increase which is just too much for what I can afford on a monthly basis unfortunately, so I settled for the future €10 option. I had hoped $20 would change to €15, which would be a slight decrease in price but not by as much as the current change increases.

2021-03-05 03:03:57 +0000 UTCFor some games, I would think 5€ for the (simplest) game version would be too much, but you really delivered. For those who don't know you jet, the 2€ GGGB-tier is good advertising and they are not forced to by the bigger package blindly. The Bockground-Tier is a really intelligent one. Gives a fair value for the money and makes the game even more life-like with some guys filling the disco, city or stuff. Will you release the the "behind the scenes" for lower tiers later on?
