2024 Patreon Rewards Survey! | Patreon Poll #58
🕑 Added 2024-10-14 15:00:08 +0000 UTCHey Patrons! In this poll I’m asking for a general survey on which Patron rewards you like the most! Obviously it takes time for me to fulfill these rewards, time that could be spent on Shattered itself, so it’s useful for me to check in every so often to see what things are most important to you.
In previous years I’ve ran these polls through Google Sheets, but that feels unnecessary at this stage. I think we’re fairly settled in terms of what rewards the Patreon offers, and I’m mainly interested in checking in on what rewards people value most highly.
The results of this poll will help me determine which rewards are most worth investing time and effort into. Note that I am not planning to axe any rewards at this time! This is an opinion and feedback poll, you are not voting for what to keep and what to remove. Even if a choice is unpopular I will likely just de-prioritize it, not remove it outright.
Poll Options
Please vote for all the options that you like, not just for your one favourite! I allow multiple votes as it means that a higher proportion of people will end up voting for the winning choice. Note however that multiple choice polls have been finnicky on Patreon for a while, so you may need to refresh the page/app to verify your choices or vote for multiple options.
Normally poll results only consider gold+ supporters, but in this case all patrons can vote and all votes are equally valuable! I will take a look at voting trends for different Patron groups, of course, but it’s important for everyone to have a say here.
Patreon Weeklies: The core content of the Patreon, a weekly mini-blog post that’s usually about what I’ve recently been working on.
Audio Q&A: One a month a Patreon weekly features an audio Q&A, based on questions collected here and on the Patreon Discord.
Patreon Discord: A private chat space for patrons and myself. The discord is both a reward for you guys and an excellent place for me to gather feedback.
Loyalty Pins: Regarding off rewards tier, after 1/2/3 years of patronage I mail patrons (who’ve provided an address) a physical loyalty reward in the form of a pin!
Patreon Polls: Once a month there’s a poll that anyone can vote in. Usually these polls assign a voting weight of 0/1/2 for silver/gold/shattered patrons, and concern content in Shattered Pixel Dungeon, but this poll is a little different
Patreon Alphas: A little bit of time before an update is ready for beta, I’ll share it here first in a ‘Patron Alpha’ for golden+ supporters.
Shattered Secrets: Once a month I make a weekly-style post that’s exclusively for shattered supporters, and usually concerns some longer-term plans.

Pins are a lovely reward that I enjoy fulfilling but they're also a big time sink as the effort on my end scales linearly with the number of Patrons (compared with things like weeklies which are the same effort regardless of how many people read them). Capping the pins at 3 years is one way that I can keep a lid on that. Having some sort of loyalty reward for more than 3 years is still possible of course, but it needs to take time commitment into account, I can't just keep doing a new pin for every year of loyalty forever.

Thanks for the kind words =). I know plenty of people are mainly here to contribute, but it's helpful to get an idea of which rewards are most likely regardless.

You've actually just passed a year, I should be sending another round of pins in early November and you'll be included in that!

Oh wow. How long have I been a Patron I wonder. I'm stoked for this pin I didn't know existed

Can't enter a vote for "none of them, I support you purely because you do good work and it's fun to play"... OK I'll just mark all of them then uncheck those meriting a downvote :grin:

I am close to my fourth year, are we gonna be seeing year four pins? 😮
