Policy change going forward... Effects $1 and $3 patrons.
🕑 Added 2024-09-10 04:55:25 +0000 UTCSadly, life costs money and I do need to bring people IN to Patreon... at higher amounts. So... I used to credit ALL Patrons in the INFO section of my game. However, I need something to bring in $5 Patrons and this is something I have decided to cut and paywall. From here on out, $1 and $3 dollar patrons are still thanked and appreciated, but as a group and not individually... It also answers my question I have asked myself since day one, why would you expect anyone to give a damn about $5 or more when you offer not much for it..... Well, here is my answer to my ancient internal question.
I always promise and swear on my grandfather grave..... That NO ONE WILL EVER MISS ACTUAL CONTENT ON ANY TIERS. $1 and $25 get the SAME GAME. No exceptions. I find that practice of content gating to be morally reprehensible and disgusting. It's also incredibly unfriendly to the people who pay you money... BUT... This has been a thing thats been needed to be done and now it is done so $5 actually means something for the first time since I began PM.
I will add a "loyalty tier" of credits. Those who stay for 6+ months, get credit REGARDLESS of tier. I value those ESPECIALLY who stick with me long term. Money is tight on us all and I dont want to squeeze blood from turnips...
I always strive to be the most open and honest dev out there. I see people shitting on devs complaining about "greed this and that"... well... I try to meet things half way. My work has value and deserves to be compensated, however, you guys are worthy of respect. All 57 of you. From Bonecrushboy, a DAY ONE who has been a kind/generous person. To Philip, who came through alot for me in a jam and joined up as a Patron too. To Nagasuku, who likes EVERY POST I MAKE (I see you and appreciate it!). To "EkkoVonGecko", my newest Patron (Only $1, but bro matters too!).
So... Here is your notice about this change. If you disagree, feel free to DM me here or on Discord. Or say so in the comments below. I giggle as I say that, because I have the most quietest community of all time. My dev buddy Insomnimaniac told me he "forgot the Mooniverse was even my game's discord" because the only thing that talks is the private dev section..... It's like it all counters me as a loud and intense dev. (Sorry I joke about things like that. Coping mechanism.)
Anyway, TTFN. Have a good day, friendos.
PS Hope some Mery takes the edge off of this...

This is a very good (and fair) idea. I think I should do the same! Thanks for the inspiration.
