Hello. As I said yesterday, there's something I have to talk about. As those of you who frequent our Discord know, I'm getting laid off at my regular job. This means more time for Shattered, but also that my income goes down by about a half. I've never taken your generosity for granted, and am very thankful to each one of you, but my Patreon income has been floating between 650–750$ for the last three years, which makes me think this is where I'm at audience-wise. I keep waiting for an influx of new supporters with each version released, but it's not happening. Which tells me that I've reached to all the people I could. Unfortunately, it's just not enough to survive. And as much as it pains me to even consider this, I'm thinking about raising prices for two of my tiers. I never wanted to do it. As you know, the 3–7–12 combination remained unchanged ever since I started this project, but believe me, these extra eighty-ninety bucks would make a lot of difference for me. Still, it's your support, it's your money, so I'm giving this decision to you. And my question is: if I raised the price of the Diligent Maid tier from 3 to 4 dollars, and the Nonchalant Maid from 7 to 8 dollars (Wicked Maid remains the same), would you stay with me or would it be too much? I don't want to guilt trip you into anything, and I don't want to make it look like I'm making decisions on a whim. If most of you say no, I will obviously keep the prices the same and try to find a different way to support myself. It's just a matter of, well, convenience. And I would love to spend my days on Shattered with some free time for myself, if we're being honest.
But it's up to you now. So, give me an honest answer, my lovely people :) Would extra dollar a month be fine for you or not?
