Change is coming (mostly on Susbcribestar and Patreon)
🕑 Added 2023-11-08 14:41:46 +0000 UTCHello there !!!
I know, this isn't gonna be the funniest post to read, but it's really important. So I'll try to make it as simple and clear as I can.
So, as you might know, I've left my job, and I've decided to become a full time artist. Because I want to focus more on the game and on art, and hope to make a living out of it. But hey, life is expensive, and even if the money I make on Subscribestar and Patreon helps a lot, it's currently not enough to pay the rent, food, and other basic expenses. So I've decided to make a few changes here, to try to help with that (nothing drastic, don't worry).
(Here's some of the new pics for the Tiers, so you have something nice to look at while reading)
Game is now accesible earlier for my supporters :
I might as well start with the most important change : all of my paying supporters will get access to the game before the full release, depending on their Tier. For Eromancers (10$) and up, nothing changes, I still release the BETA when it's done for them. But when the full release is done, here's how it'll be shared :
- Right when Full Release is done for the Warrior tier (5$)
- 4 days after Full Release is done for the Peasant Tier (2$)
- 1 week after Full Release is done for the Public Release (everyone)
I've tried to make it a good balance being giving incentives to support me, and still having the content quickly released for everybody, because I really don't want to put the game behind a paywall.
But hey, if I want to be able to make a living with it, and be able to work full time on it, I have to make some decision in order to get more income. We'll see how it go !
New Tier, and change to pinup polls :
I've decided to add a premium tier, Bimbo Lover, that is limited to a few slots. It should help with two of the issues I have : getting more income (of course !), and getting new fresh ideas for the pinup pics. Here's how it's gonna work :
- Every month, I'll make an open post for the people in that tier to write their idea of a pinup pic (or small set, like I've done lately), using my characters.
- This will replace one of the pinup poll I do : People will vote for one of these ideas instead of the regular options.
- As always, I'll do the winner, and it'll later be added to the game as collective art pieces (and maybe have a short story written around it)
-If your idea didn't win, you're of course free to share it again next month, or write a new one (and hey, maybe it'll inspire me for the regular pinup poll too ^^) .
It'll be the opportunity to have some fresh and cool ideas to the table, because I'm running a bit dry sometime ^^ And it'll be also the opportunity for you to have me make a pic you'd really like to see.
I know it's a bit of a lottery ticket, but that's also why I limit the numer of slots (4 on Subscribestar, 2 on Patreon). I don't know how this will work exactly, so I might change it at some point (like opening more slots if needed).
Also, I'll change a bit the pinup polls date, to have two each month, and be more regular :
- The classic one at the start of the month, opening the poll around the 1st (can be delayed, it often happens xD)
- The special request one, for the middle of the month, around the 15th (once again, can move a bit).
But with that, it should be a less messy schedule ^^
Commissions, another good source of income :
Of course, I don't expect these changes to suddenly triple my income on Patreon and Subscribestar, so another way to help with money is gonna be via commissions. And it's also a good occasion for me to work on something a bit different,and try new stuff in 3D, so I really like doing those ! I'm gonna open the next batch after being done with 0.09, and I'll try to balance between this and the game development.
I don't know how often I'll open, and I still have to think a little bit more about how exactly I'll do it, but I'll give you more infos when the time come ! For the moment, I'm really focused on the game !!! But yeah, keep your eyes open and get your ideas up, if you're interested in one !!! :D
Well, that should wrap up everything. Thanks for taking your time to read through all of this. About the game's new update, you can expect it this month, probably this week for the BETA.
Once again, I know I'm repeating myself, but thank you all so much for your support. Thanks to you, I've been able to make the decision to go full time, and now, I really hope that, thanks to all of you, I'll be able to make a living of it. The future is bright, and lewd !
