So what do you think about the idea of consolidating tiers?

As I wrote in the latest weekly update.

I would stay with 3 levels of benefits:

5€

Polls.

Access to the game on the day of release.

Five preview pictures weekly when rendering. Plus one on discord.

10€

All of the above.

HD Wallpapers twice a month.

7-day early access to the game.

20€

All of the above

Request a scene. In case of many requests, it goes through a poll.

Access to the folder with all of the images for the upcoming update.

Name in the game credits (optional).

NV All I can say is the biggest money making game online and Patreon only charges $1. Summertime Saga is up to $70K a month, while all other struggle to maintain1K a month. Why? Because you want too much and offer those who pay more a better version, penalizing all others for not having the funds to give. I went to school for Marketing and I also have been a patron to many a creator over the last 5 years. Not one has stopped and looked at Summertime Saga and said this is what we should do. They have other tiers available but the rewards are art work and other things, not different or better versions of the game. So rather then follow DarkCookie's template they over charge people and reward the rich for pledging more, snubbing those that are less fortunate. DC has been out to reward the masses not the select few. Other than being a Patron of their I do not know them. Just notice that if you all did what they're doing you would eventually have that money. $100 from 1000 people, or $1 from 100K is the same thing. One is much easier to get is all.

Dear Nemiegs,

Riai

What about me? I have a $3 Citizen Tier!?

Nemiegs

Hi! You would get 5€ benefits for that price.

Riai

Ok, thanks for your swift reply.

Nemiegs

Thanks for your thoughts! I am familiar with the Summertime Saga. They have been out for more than five years and have a team of 7 people. Also, it has a theme that tends to attract much more people under any circumstances. So I am not sure that it is relatable to SR. It is a full-time hobby. And as I work alone, I have no time capacity to offer more benefits than listed. So they must be spread across the tiers and include some release gap as one of the bonuses. SR has always had the same content for all the patrons. The difference had been release time, previews and WP. By this reform, I want to cut release times. And pass more benefits down to the basic tiers. I am looking at Summertime Saga benefit groups now. The only disadvantage of the SR new tier system is a 2-step release. Spoiler channel there is available starting with 9€. In my case, it would be 5€. As I wrote in the weekly update - I need to hear your thoughts before I decide. What is clear to me is that things can not stay as they are now. Let's presume that I create a 1€ tier. What do you think - how it should look like?
