Incoming Changes! (part 2)
🕑 Added 2019-02-16 07:41:38 +0000 UTCHey folks!
Part 2! A little late than what we wanted, but we're still handling some details about the whole going fulltime thing.
We got some eye-candy this time! On the banner up there, we have some explorations in art styles for both Will and Sindee. What you all think?
NEW IDEA #3: NEW TIERS!
So, with the recent change to the way charging will be done from now on, the pledge tiers need some changes as well. Here's the initial draft for them! If you have any suggestions or criticism about them, we'd love to hear it!
$1 Tier - First Supporter
Keeping this one the same, with the patron-only Discord access as the reward and the content of some of the more sensitive posts and such.
$2 Tier - Solid Supporter
Also mostly the same, with the polls as a reward. By the way, we got a new one! CHECK IT OUT!
$5 Tier - Big Supporter
This one will maintain the same theme of getting you bigger artworks, but instead of getting wallpapers somewhat linked to what we're currently working on, it's going to be almost all the artworks of each update in a larger size. When a new chapter or mini-game is posted, patrons on this tier will get a ZIP file with the high resolution artworks of that update.
$10 Tier - Sharp Supporter
Instead of being beta versions (which can be quite frustrating or pointless), this is going to be more like a early exclusive access tier. Once the final version of a chapter is ready for publishing, we'll post it exclusively for this tier for a short period of time, like a week or so. This way we believe the patrons at this tier will receive a more meaningful gift than a half-baked game, even if their exclusive access period will be a little shorter.
$15 Tier - Gorgeous Supporter and $25 Tier:
So, we're planning to add the $25 tier rewards to the $15 tier, effectively retiring the $25 tier. In other words, $25 tier will no longer exist and the $15 tier will get you the game with EVERYTHING unlocked from the start, plus some perks that will only be available for the patrons of this tier, like a special menu to warp to any section of the game and one or two exclusive artworks. This all will make much more sense once you see the new chapter, so we recommend waiting for it to land before pledging to this tier.
But what about patrons that have been pledging to the $25 tier? Well, we have a special surprise for them: a mini-chapter taking place in the Forbidden Chamber (once its ready) with some special interactions that will be exclusive to them for at least a month! Everyone that has pledged to it at least once will get that, so don't worry if you're not currently pledged to it but used to be.
$100 Tier - King of the Crowd:
This tier has special rewards that are tailored to each of the patrons pledging to it (actually more about it in an upcoming post), but it'll also get a returning feature. With the new polls, this tier will be able to "ressurect" a non-winning entry of a poll and get it made anyway. When we tried this last time, the failure in putting out updates each month meant that some entries never got the chance of being developed. There was always some kind of pending requisite that needed to be made first. Now that the deadlines are no longer monthly, we can guarantee that everything the polls decide will be in each update regardless.
Well, that's it this time! Thoughts, comments, whatever, write a comment down below or chat with us at Discord!
See you soon!

Good to know :) well as ever I'll be keeping an eye out for whatever you guys have in store for us
Hey Dan! Yeah, everything is very alive! Still working on the new thing, and as soon as we get something solid (not yet another concept artwork), we'll post it everywhere we can. We're basically just watching Discord (not very active either), but you can get the link on your Patreon settings/profile if you want to join anyway. Well, good news, if you like our games being unique, you'll love this next one. We've never played another H-game (and, to a degree, *any* other game) quite like what is being cooked over here. Just a little more time~~~~

Hey sooo I'll be the guy to check in this time! Are things still alive and kicking? I don't mind the wait at all but I'm sure you guys understand that in modern crowdfunding, creators going silent is usually not a good sign? It's cool if you guys are posting frequently on discord, in which case, can I get the link? I think if you could show us something on Patreon soon though it might go a long way to getting people back on side :) Honestly there's something really unique about your games that I haven't really found in any others so if there's one project I don't want to die it's this one, or at least, I don't want it to just happen out of the blue when there's things we supporters might be able to do to keep it from happening.
Hey great to hear.
Hey! Very much alive, very much still at work! We posted something on Discord lately (should count as sign of life, although not by much). Here's a recent artwork we posted that illustrates (heh) a tiny bit of the things coming up: https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/wandfully/halfway-there
Just checking in 6 months after last signs of life. (Like the previous guy, not upset since we're paying per update, and as an okay programmer and a bad artist I know how hard this stuff is).
