New Patreon Tier
🕑 Added 2025-01-27 07:56:40 +0000 UTCHey there people!
I've just added a new Tier on Patreon which makes access to the game and supporting the project that much more convenient for those of you who were still on the fence!
Big choice!
Indeed, I thought $5 was a fair price, but in light of nobody commenting on either Patreon and Discord, and the drop yesterday of a big Patreon poll that will decide the fate of my game, I added a cheaper $3 option which also gives you access to the game (yes, cheaper than on Itch)!
Of course, you can be uncool, take a month of that Patreon Tier, download the game and unsub immediately... but I hope you'll be cool instead and stay to voice your opinion on all the polls to come... and there will be a bunch of them!
Let's be clear, this poll may imply renaming the game, heavily rewriting Chapter 1, and making things incredibly harder for me, so I need more voices and more comments to make sure I make the right call for all of the players.

I certainly like the idea of giving more advantages to the higher-tier members, but as far as game-releases are concerned, I doubt I could make it work. I *can* create a post that can only be seen by supporters of X and Y tier and scheduled to a later date. But I believe the only solution to make future updates to the game available in Early Access to Higher-Tiers, I would have to upload those versions out of Itch.io. And I *COULD* do that, but I *DO NOT* want to, because there are people who scrub everything creators post on Patreon and Discord to repost them on pirating websites (which I'd rather not advertize). The link between Itch.io and Patreon is secured, but I'm afraid it's not flexible enough to allow me to say "Tier X gets access to version Y of the game". I suppose right now, the best I can do is to put limitations to Discord features on Gremlins. And I would only give access to my To-Do List to Hobz & Gobz, as well as the non-critical and more creative polls (what name/appearance should I give to girl X or Y). If at some point I launch myself into producing quality-AI-pictures in batches, I could also give those only to Hobz & Gobz.

A lower tier is a good idea to get more patrons, but it should have a little drawback like 1 week/month/version behind in acces to the latest version.
