January Patreon Revisions

First: If you're a $5+ Patron, don't forget to vote in the monthly reward poll! It's still got a few days left, but only three of you have voted :-(.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Alright. So I've been mulling over what to do with the various Patreon tiers come January. This plan is still tentative please let me know what you think! For reference, my hope is to release an update of The Sexy Cosplay Cafe, roughly every 1.5 months. Honestly, I'd like to get that down to once a month, but my current art-creation speed isn't good enough for that even after I stop development on Eros at the end of the year. New resources, increased skill, or enough support that I can spend more time on the updates will hopefully change that in the future. I have a plan for extra content I think people will like on the months that don't have a Cosplay Cafe release, see below the tier listings for details.

Tier - 0 (Free/Public)

Will get releases of The Sexy Cosplay Cafe 2-weeks after Tier 2($3 patrons)/1 month after Tier 3($5+ patrons). Will not get any other content, aside from rare general status updates.

Tier - 1( $1 Patrons)

- Access to Patron-only posts that include Art teasers for The Sexy Cosplay Cafe, and the semi-frequent updates that I usually post.

- Access to the Reward Archive post. Without Extended Eros scenes being a thing anymore, this will mean a new reward will filter into the Reward Archive every month. For those not paying attention, the Reward Archive holds short stories and mix media shorts. Rewards filter down from the $5+ rewards after two-months. 

- All Previous Rewards

Tier - 2( $3 Patrons)

- 2-weeks early access to The Sexy Cosplay Cafe releases.

- Access to short Twine(Sugarcube) games I make for months with no Cosplay Cafe update. (Note: See below the tier list for details on this plan)

- All Previous Rewards

Tier - 3( $5 Patrons)

- 1-Month early access to The Sexy Cosplay Cafe releases

- A vote in polls that will determine which Sexy Cosplay Cafe character features in the next update. 

- The same $5+ rewards that I've been making. Like new chapters of The Elven Maid. As voted for by $5+ Patrons. 

- (Maybe) Vote on what the next Twine(Sugarcube) game will be. See below tier list for details.

- All Previous Rewards

Tier - 4( $10 Patrons)

- Your name in the credits of The Sexy Cosplay Cafe as an important supporter. 

- A package of content from Jaylee Coglin. Including BOTH "Tales from Ellen's Sex Shop" and the erotic sci-fi novel "Freedom in the Sky."

Tier - 5($30 Patrons)

I'm not completely 100% sure on this tier, but I'm considering making a limited number available, with the option for anyone that does this tier at least once to have a character they help plan fill in one of the secondary character slots for The Sexy Cosplay Cafe. As in, characters that you may get single scenes(or a few scenes) and some chat development with, but will not feature as one of the main interactive story characters. The shop keeper at the Goth/BDSM store being an example of this.

TWINE(Sugarcube) Games:

As you hopefully noticed in the tier listings (or read the mention in the first paragraph and skipped down here) I'm planning something new for month's with no Cosplay Cafe release. What I'm intending to do is to make a series of fairly simple, linear games using Twine (the sugarcube distribution). For those of you not immediately familiar with what that means, it's what a lot of the Choose Your Own Adventure HTML type games are made with. Well known examples include both games that use real porn images such as Therapist, mostly-text games like Free Cities, and any number of sprite using COYA games. 

What I would be doing would be dipping into the stupidly high number of game ideas I've written down and turning some of them into fairly short, linearish games that use pre-existing art assets. Sprites/porn images/etc. from around the web, rather than original creations of my own. An example for what I mean would be a game I just wrote down the idea for a few days ago, where an adventuress finds herself delveing into a perverted dungeon full of traps that keep trying to strip her naked and/or to naughty things to her. Decisions on the player's part would be limited to how they react to each trap, resulting in variants to each scene based on what they do. No real bad-ends and no horribly dark rapey content (obviously, you should know that by now with anything I make), just a fun little game I can knock out fairly easily since it will be purely writing and a little code + finding existing assets. 

Some of such games might be short one-offs, others might be ones that get built onto if people like them. They'll also probably never be released beyond my patrons, with them being intended really as just an extra for you guys during months I don't manage to release an update for The Sexy Cosplay Cafe. I haven't actually TESTED this idea yet, so I'm not 100% sure how viable it is, but I think it would pretty easy for me to do, compared to virtually any of my other projects.
