What is what. Or clarifying the advantages of new tiers.
🕑 Added 2023-02-01 11:46:35 +0000 UTCLadies and gentlemen, you are about to witness an introvert trying to build community. What an amusing sight that must be. Almost like Selene trying to seduce Yuturna under Iolanta's gaze.
Okay, let's do it already.
Early Access (all tiers).
Seems clear from the description, but there are nuances.
- The releases of all subsequent updates will be within 1-2 months after the previous one, but no later than 2 months.
For example, when I write that update 1.3 will be released in February/March, it means by March 27, since 1.2 was released on January 27. Although, specifically for 1.3 I will try to release it in February. That's not a promise! I think I'll make it in this time, but you know how I get sometimes...
- If in the future it happens that I won't meet the deadline and some scenes might get cut off halfway through - I'll inform you about that, ask for a little more time, and ask if you're okay with that or not. If no - the update will come out on time, but some scenes may not be finished. If yes - the update will come out later, but will be finished where it's more or less convenient from a narrative point of view.
- All public releases, respectively, will be 2 weeks later than the actual release date of the patron-only version.
Exception:
Any shit related to this whole war thing. Prolonged blackouts are most likely. In that case, I'll probably lose the technical ability to be in touch. Nevertheless, if something like this happens, please don't worry too much. I'll try to get back online as soon as I can. Whether it's worth "punishing" me by dropping support in such a scenario is up to you to decide. To me, this seems pointless. What can I do? Turn on the lights in the whole country? But, again, it's up to you.
A legitimate place in the Credits section (all tiers).
- The names of all past ("legacy") patrons are now placed in the Credits section of the game. With the next update, 3 more groups will be added there but by tiers.
- If you change the tier, you will not be removed from the previous one, I will just duplicate your name in the new tier.
- If you drop your support, you will not be removed from the Credits section. Unless you ask me to.
- If I forgot to list you - please send me a private message, and it will be corrected in the next update.
Some patron-only posts (Gratitude tier).
By "some" I mean any information relating to all patrons. For example, this post.
All patron-only posts (Inspiration and Passion tiers).
News, teasers, screenshots, or any information that will be of interest mainly to those who want to keep up with all the goings-on.
Detailed hints to lewd scenes after each update (Inspiration and Passion tiers).
Example of such hints is in the previous post. In general, in the next 1-2 updates, it won't be that useful, the lewd scenes there are quite obvious... Although, maybe it's just for me? Judging from the last update, some people complained about the alleged lack of an option in the scene, which is actually there. Maybe I should add scene options to those hints as well? Like, here are the doggy style and cowgirl options, which fundamentally change both the nature of the scene and the changes in the hidden variables.
Votes participation (Passion tier)
There are things in which I will stick to my vision. For example, the main storyline. But there are a lot of things I can put to a vote. The main requirement for them is not to break the concept of the game or the main storyline.
For instance, there's a question I can't make up my mind about, and it'll probably be on for a vote this month. Yes, the Passion tier isn't very populated yet, so it might turn into a bit of an awkward situation if the votes split evenly. But people have paid for this tier, and voting is its benefit, so at least one voting should be this month.
All other tiers will be informed of each vote's results.
Your suggestion of advantages for tiers.
This is my first game and my first Patreon. So I'm not going to lie that I know what I'm doing. I have no idea what I'm doing and move "by touch" in the dark, relying mostly on intuition and common sense.
If you want something from me that you think I can give you as a benefit of this or that tier... Don't be a stranger, just suggest. Who knows, maybe I can really add it. And even if I can't for some non-obvious reason, what have you got to lose by asking?
