There's been a few mentions of Patreon since I've returned and it's something I'd love to do. Now that I have some content out I'd like to start it. But I'd like to create a tier system which both encourages donation without requiring it. This is what I'm thinking of doing, please give me feedback on your thoughts. Is it fair, too expensive/restrictive or to cheap? If you have other ideas of benefits, things that would entice you to donate, please let me know!
All tiers will include all benefits of lower tiers.
$2 tier
My thanks
Access to CG packs
$5 tier
Access to the new versions ~1 week before public release
Listing in credits
$10 tier
Full CG unlock file
$25 tier
Access to non-canon/commissioned scenes. I periodically have an idea for a scene which doesn't fit into the narrative flow or disagrees with existing canon so it get's shelved. You'd access have access to a unique version of the game where those scenes would be available through the CG mode. Also commissioned scenes would appear the commissioner agreed.
$50 tier
Access to unencrypted version of the game with my permission to re-use
any non-sprite content in your own project (I don't create the sprites).
$100 tier
A monthly commissioned scene. You tell me what you want, I'll do my best to write it for you. Loli, scat and particularly violent content will not be created and I would reserve the right to reject any proposal if I find it to be morally objectionable. But considering what I create that's a pretty far boundary to reach. This last tier would also vary in cost based on demand. Time is always limited and I both need to work and work on Harem, and wouldn't want to spend my entire making commissions.
Awesome! Will support you right away on patreon for sure. Your prices/tiers seem pretty similar to what others are doing, and I think that's the way to do it!
ReplyDeleteAny chance you're considering releasing through Kimochi as well? The 'Steam' of these sorts of games. Really nice for the end user.
Thanks. Am essentially following the lead of other developers.
DeleteI'll have to look into Kimochi, that's something new to me that I'm not familiar with. But v1 is a bit too much 'early access' for me to consider releasing it as a full game yet.
Your proposal sounds pretty reasonable. The only thing that I will add is the option to vote in polls regarding the development of the game.
ReplyDeleteAlso I would appreciate to have access to a game's guide, but I don't know if you have someone that can do it for you or you have the time and energy to do it yourself.
These tiers look fine for me, pretty standard.
