Tier Updates
Added 2019-02-27 03:46:10 +0000 UTCOkay, as promised, I made the changes to the tier listings for patrons going forward. I've also done some editing on the main about section, but that's going to need some work still. However, I want to break things down here for clarity's sake. I've done my best to balance the new tiers of rewards so that everyone still feels like they're getting fairly done by.
Here are the Tiers:
-----------------
Public:
The general public is going to get very sporadic news updates (I've always been bad about this, but I try, I promise), as well as DELAYED access to games currently under development. The delay for The Dungeon of Lewdity (the new TWINE game you'll be seeing a demo for soon) will be 1-month. The delay for The Cosplay Cafe will PROBABLY also be 1-month, but I'm still mulling that one over a bit. Given the much longer development times for it, I may stretch the public releases out farther from the patron releases.
$1 Tier:
The good news about this tier is that you get ALL the rewards eventually, even things like the Short Story and Novel rewards that never go public. Genearlly short story rewards trickle down to you two months after they come out. You also get all the news posts, with sneak peak artwork and development updates. You get The Dungeon of Lewdity rewards at a two-week delay. And you get the Cosplay Cafe releases at the same time as the public.
$3 Tier:
The biggest thing for this tier and higher is that you'll get the TWINE games I'm going to be making, starting with the Dungeon of Lewdity, as soon as they are finished. Currently that's planned to be once a month. You also get the Cosplay Cafe updates at least two weeks before the public, possibly more depending on what I decide there.
$5 Tier:
As always, this is the tier that pretty much gets all the things as soon as they are ready. They get The Cosplay Cafe releases as soon as they are ready. They also get Short Story rewards as soon as they are finished, retaining two exclusive rewards at a time. The exclusive rewards trickle down to other patrons only when a new one is made for this tier.
Additionally, this tier GETS A SAY in what I make. Right now there is one poll a month regarding which short story series gets updated each month. Coming in April, there will be a new monthly poll regarding the content focus of The Dungeon of Lewdity, the TWINE patron reward game you'll be hearing about soon.
---------------------
Right now, there isn't much more to say about this. Not until I get the short demo of The Dungeon of Lewdity done, so I can fill in a few details for you and you can see for yourself that it's a non-trivial reward (I hope). When I get that up and running I'll give more details about how the initial release will work so that everything can get set into this release/tier pattern smoothly. But I wanted to get this basic outline out NOW, so current patrons know roughly what they'll be getting. I'm hoping to finish the Dungeon of Lewdity demo before the end of the month so you'll have a better idea what sort of awesomely awesome reward it is (I hope)...but I can't promise I will. February being a short month is kinda kicking my ass.
