Proposed Adjustments to Patreon Tiers

Hello everyone,

First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude for your support throughout the development of my game. Your contributions have been instrumental in allowing me to dedicate my time and passion to this project. Over the past 18 months, I've achieved significant milestones, and I am thrilled to see the rising popularity of the game.

In light of this, I've carefully considered how I can make my Patreon tiers more enjoyable for you as patrons and sustainable for me as a developer.

I've given it some thought, and I would like to gather your input on some planned changes that I believe ensure that the workload remains manageable and that I can continue to deliver the best possible experience.

Here are the proposed adjustments:

- Runaway Tier: This tier would be kept sold out to maintain its exclusivity. Thank you to those who have already joined this tier; your support means a lot to me.

- Slave Tier: This tier would remain unchanged, offering access to the game and the ability to receive a copy after each release, as well as access to the discord channels Patron-Only. It serves as an entry point for those who want to support the project.

- Human Chair Tier: This tier would undergo a transformation. Instead of requesting custom scenes or characters, patrons in this tier would gain access to exclusive Discord channels where I'll share a frequent up-to-date status of the game, and a roadmap outlining all the plans ahead and its progress (including spoilers). This transparency and insight into the game's development process is my way of expressing gratitude to those who show such a serious commitment with my game. As a special gesture, I would be granting access to those channels to all patrons who have already spent $20 supporting this project, even if they are not currently in the Human Chair tier.

The "Human Toilet" tier would remain unchanged, serving as a way for those who wish to support the project more significantly. As a member of this tier, you will still have the option of requesting custom scenes and characters within the game, and I'll prioritize bringing your ideas to life, as long as they fit reasonably with the game's overall experience.

The voting power would remain unchanged.

I want to emphasize that these changes are intended to strike a balance between providing you with a rewarding experience and allowing me to manage my time effectively. As much as I am dedicated to this project, I also have a family and other responsibilities that I must attend to. Your understanding and support in this matter are greatly appreciated.

Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey. Your support, regardless of the tier, has made it possible for me to come this far, and I remain committed to delivering an outstanding game that exceeds your expectations. If you have any questions or feedback, please feel free to share them in the comments section below. I value your input and will thoroughly review each comment.


I'll keep this poll open for a week, I look forward to hearing the collective feedback.


Best wishes,

Ariestra

Edit: Patrons on Human Chair Tier will also be able to request a commission of two wallpapers per month with any character and any pose they want. It will be exclusive for you. However, I'll reserve the right to recycle the pose or the whole render for future scenes in the game if I find it could fit. You're still free to share it with the community if you want. Thanks, Nickyjones, for the suggestion.
