Decisions, decisions...
🕑 Added 2020-10-28 22:58:54 +0000 UTCSince the beginning of this project (over a year ago) a lot of things have change and it's time to revaluate certain things.
We are getting more patrons, feedback is coming from more places and people want to see or expect certain things to happen. Yes, I'm talking about S-E-X and D-I-C-K-S. Which is totally fine. I like them too. People ask when MC is gonna get laid, and how big our guys are down there, etc etc.
Chapter 01 was about getting to know the guys. Chapter 02 is about romance and why not, sex. You already saw how in this update we started to see that. But it won't be all about sex. After all, I'm trying to tell a story, with, let's say, real elements, situations and "proportions".
Another issue is about Patreon rewards. I know I've been neglecting you all, (specially Tier 3). And I'm so sorry about that. When I planned it a year ago, I really thought I'd have more time to do rewards, sketches... even having a life! But in the end, doing an update it takes me over 40 hours a week and I'm always late delivering every month. Why I'm saying all this now? Well, it all because....
I'm thinking of charging up front.
It will prevent from people joining, getting the game and disappearing without supporting the game, while you guys do. It's just not fair. I don't get any money if someone join and leave before the end of the month. Is not that I'm just doing this for the money (I'm not swimming in money with the amount of patrons I have currently). But my patrons mean the world to me, and it is not fair some people take advantage of the system.
I believe, if I understood how Patreon works, current patrons will not notice any change in their pledges. Here is the link where it is explain better (https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/210291283-How-charge-up-front-works)
It will only affect to new patrons. And they could always join, get the content and remove the pledge. I think is a win-win for everybody.
So, is this all about the money, you might think... Yes, but also thinking about your money, because changing to charging upfront it will give me the option to offer annual membership (https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041721372-Offering-Annual-Memberships-for-my-patrons) and that way you could save some money. I think after all this time you know I'm not going anywhere.
Anyway, enough talking. Thank you if you have read all this, and please feel free to tell me what do you think about all this. Any questions you have or doubts, please ask.
Oh! Before I go, got someone to check all my grammar and spelling mistakes and integrated Patreon with Itch.io, I don't know exactly how it works but someone suggested it and why not, right?
Love
Jubal
