Tier Modification
🕑 Added 2020-08-02 12:00:04 +0000 UTCHi guys!
We just woke up inspired and we wanted to announce that our Tiers have been modified.
🎺🎺TIER MODIFICATION🎺🎺
First things first, any change we’ve made is NOT going to affect current patrons.
The main change has been done in the Beer Barrel Tier, specifically regarding access to previous releases. The previous version of the Tier was to give full access to previous and current releases regardless the month you join in our community. But, after thinking a lot, we believe that the fairest way to continue this project is by modifying this small detail.
Now, future patrons will have access only to the starter pack and the corresponding month in which they have joined at our Patreon. However, both current patrons and the new patrons will always have access to the corresponding months in which you have been part of the community. Therefore, for you this change does not affect you but it does affect future family members!
As we have made this change now, during August we will keep the July Release available, but in September this new modification will begin to work.
Also guys, we have added a 50% discount code for future patrons who want to get old releases. Throughout the week we will have a store in My Miny Factory and Gumroad!!!!
What do you think? Do you think it is the fairest thing? We read you as always, attentive to your advice ❤️

Hi Huscarl! First of all, thank you so much for your support! And yes, we think it's totally understable to keep the previous month release, at least a few days, for everyone who couldn't download before. Also, if someone has paid for a release and it's no more in the archive, we don't know why some patreon don't respond well to download or send it to the patron. We want to do that with Gumroad, because for us is very easy and also for patrons, because they don't even need to register in the platform, but yes! We'll take a look to DTRPG. :)

It's fair. I do support the idea of DriveThruRPG as used by one of my other Patrons as that means that previous months files are always available to those who paid for previous months. One of my other Patrons also keeps 2 months (current and previous) available at any one time as this ensures that if you're a bit late getting the files at the end of the month, you've still got a chance of getting them (I have another who has a hard cutoff at the end of the month and doesn't respond well to people asking for access to files if they've missed the deadline - some people just seem to have less busy lives than me :) )

Hi Lonnie! Thanks for the advice! We'll take a look as well to that platform. We've heard that TTRPG has some issues with managing the access to new patrons. We'll learn more about it! :)

Delivering files through drivethrurpg.com would be another way to simplify this as well. Once the files are delivered they are in our library and it makes it easier for us to manage. Also if you update the files they can automatically be updated in our library's.

Yes, it's fair, and as mentioned already, in line with how other patreons run.

Good luck with the move to Scotland

Thank you so much for your feedback Phil! We really love that idea so we're going to think about it! We wanted to prepare some special models for special dates (like Christmas ^^) But make a loyalty scheme seems pretty useful. We will tell you after making the moving to Scotland :)
Highlands_Miniatures
Hi! It'll be the same. The only difference is that future Patrons won't be able to download all the previous releases for free. Don't worry! If you have any more doubt let us know :)
Highlands_Miniatures
Nice! Thank you so much Denis for your comment :)
Highlands_Miniatures
Perfect! Thank you for your feedback Patrick ^^

Thank you for your response Adam!

I dont really care if new patrons have access to older content. It's up to you guys how you want to monetize.
would I have acess to next months releases if I continue supporting you, or I`ll had to buy models released later?
Makes sense!
i think it´s fair
Adam
Yes it is fair.
Phil Walling
That is a good idea. It increases your potential income. Also it brings you inline with other Patreon’s. One thing that other Patreon’s seem to have started is a loyalty scheme based on 3,6 and 9 months... and onwards a special miniature that is only available for subscribers that hit those targets.
