Release Date and Patreon Membership Restructuring (Patreon)

Hello everyone! I wanted to give you a heads-up on where the project currently stands and where it’s headed. I’ve been working on many parts of the project recently, and I finally found time to make things move more smoothly so I can update the game more frequently.

First, the game update: It will be released on October 30. Why this date? Because it will allow me to polish more things and make them nicer for you all. I’m also happy to announce that I’ve finally learned how to create animations—so expect to see animations by that day!

Second, the Patreon membership tiers have been updated: All previous Fresh Meat members have been promoted to Members of the Tribe, and all Members of the Tribe have been promoted to Chosen by Spirits—a new Patreon tier with extra perks. Why make this change? Because I received many inquiries from people who wanted to support the project that extra bit but didn’t want to commit fully by choosing the quite expensive White Higihi tier. The latter tier allows people to ask for their characters and is for people who not only want to support the project but also have a direct impact on it.

Question: Will this change affect your current monthly rate?
No—current members have been upgraded for no extra cost, forever!

Question: Do I have to do anything on my side?
No—Patreon has taken care of the upgrade!

Finally, the cadence of posts and updates: I plan to post a new update roughly every 15 - 30 days—not major updates, but small incremental ones. Why do this? Because the project is too large, and by my calculations, if I don’t speed things up, it will take forever to finish all 11 chapters. So here is the content frequency for you as a reference:

• Game Updates — every ~ 30 days (end of the month). Available to paid members first; free members can access them after 15 days.

• New Character Announcements — every 7 days (Wednesdays). Available to everyone, with special spoilers only for Members of the Tribe or higher.

• Weekly Teasers — every 7 days (Fridays). Available only to Fresh Meat members or higher.

• Weekly Polls — every 7 days (Mondays). Available to everyone, with different voting power.

• Monthly Wallpapers — every 15 days (semi-monthly). Available only to Chosen by Spirits or higher.

• Animation Spoilers — first drafts and WIP animations available to Chosen by Spirits or higher.

That’s it for now. Thank you to everyone who is on this journey with me—love you all!
