Update on development of VN project and new tier.
🕑 Added 2022-03-31 08:17:19 +0000 UTCHey guys, sorry for the text wall but this is kind of important.
Please be sure to read this *bows*
Last reward of the month will be a special reward.
I am now finally (after years of postponement) implementing VN updates as rewards.
This means I will create a new tier which features rewards associated with the VN.
Tier will be in between Futura and Proxima and the pledge is 20 USD.
The first reward is free to all, subsequent ones will be for this tier and upwards.
(illustration related assets will be accessible to all patrons however)
What are the perks associated with it?
Perks will be full access to technical demos, asset illustrations, script updates, other asset updates such as music and SFX.
once a large chunk of work is done, you will also have access to playable demos (bear in mind, these demos will be close to a proto-beta release, meaning they can change a bit or A LOT.) You will also know how the story and plot will unfold if you want although some aspects will remain a complete secret so as to not spoil the entire thing. Your name in the credits will also be a perk if at any point in time you subscribe to the VN tier.
How often will I work on the VN?
One reward a month will be done and I will invest the same amount of time I take on an artwork on this development.
so about 3 to 4 days of progress. Illustrations will be done first with technical demos as the most juicy reward.
Is this reward exclusive?
It is for the most part. The general public will see snippets and visual previews but nothing big. Distro demos will be accessible to the public but only a select few. (they will get teasers mostly)
Will this affect the commission backlog and pipeline?
Not much. As I said I will only work as much as I would on a single artwork per month.
Any ETA on release?
Optimistically speaking; 2 years. Close to 3 (I'm doing everything on my own)
Rest assured I will not shelve or abandon at any point. I'm getting this done if at all humanly possible.
Will patrons be able to help out?
Yes. That'd be most appreciated. I have some experience with coding but there are some things I do not know that programming savvy people can help me with, script revisions, music creation, QC and testing would also help me immensely if you are inclined to chip in.
proper crediting will naturally be added to the VN.
Are you gonna make a Kickstarter or something?
No. Such a campaign is for super large projects with a ton of employees and infrastructure.
I'm just a dude who can draw and code, nothing more. My only income for development will come from patrons.
Are there other benefits besides access to the VN development?
Aside from being able to see the entire process as well as the naturally exclusive HD illustrations and assets there will be no extra benefits.
Subscribing to this tier is mainly for fans of visual novels/fans of my OC (all of them will be romanceable characters in the VN)/ Patrons who wish to support the development of the VN.
Not everyone is a fan of visual novels or is interested in them, hence the option to support or not support with the tier.
Will there be any big changes to the dynamic of artworks?
No. I'm still an artist who draws waifus and everything else will remain the exact same. This is just an extra something I want to add to rewards.
That pretty much sums it up.
If you guys have any questions, doubts, concerns or grievances, do tell me.
Thanks everyone for your invaluable support once again, and here's to a successful development. *beer glass clink*
