Hi everyone, Just want to let you know before hand that I plan to restructure the tiers a little. At the moment you can get all of my stuff on the $3 tier. I'm sure that a lot of people are just signing up, downloading the entire catalogue and then quitting. Obviously this makes no sense since I'm selling my games individually for a much higher price on Steam.

Therefore I've decided to make my old games (EC 1 & 2, SLOG etc) available from the $10 tier and upwards. For $3 and $5 tiers I will still allow downloads of the latest version of my current project (RoB at the moment).  Of course I want to reward those who have stuck with me on the $3, $5 etc tiers over the months and years, but at the same time don't want to allow people to take advantage of the low prices. Just to reinstate. All I would be doing it this:- Move the old games to $10 tier- The current game (ROB) will remain on current tiers ($3 +)

Does this make sense?? Let me know what you think. Thanks all :)

That's good point

You can limit the plan slots no? And create another one for the right price... So the ones that already have the $3 plan would not be affected. And new ones would need the new plan.

Fair enough, can you not just lock your previous games on patreon but keep the current game avalible to the lower tiers? Just my two cents probably going to go up anyway, enjoyed your content enough to justify that :)

That's fine. I tend to play through the games once as they're coming out and then not come back. So not having immediate access to the older games is just fine for me. I want to continue supporting your work and I like the current level I'm doing it at.

Youeno

Whatever decision you make I'll continue to support your work

honestly it makes sense that the complete games should be behind a 1 and done price whereas the in progress ones would be like an early access lower price since with each update people come back to check.

Kinda lame considering I been paying $3 a month since October, but I guess understand. Wish there was a way to keep access to people who been supporting long term.

I get the logic behind it, I think its fine

When is this change going to take place? Is there a plan to grandfather or recognize patrons who joined previously by maintaining the awards currently for them?

EagleClaw

To me this makes sense and have no problem with it. Will continue to support your work as always

That makes sense, on a similar note. Does anyone know how to check how long you been a member? I think I was here since EC2 but can't remember how long that was.

I agree with what the main sentiment seems to be. It isn’t fair to you as a creator for people to use that loophole. Definitely protect your work! I’ll keep supporting no matter what. I’ve loved all of your games and can’t wait to see what else you do!

Ilsyra

That’s a good idea i am a current supporter for years (6 if i look at my profile) and maybe i will think about upgrade my subscription in the future. You desserve it ♡

SliceOfPieAlex

I'm still new to this community after playing RoB for the first time recently, but that's completely understandable. It's a shitty thing for someone to sub for only a month mainly to download all the games and cancel their sub right after. I'll happily support you in any tier and any way no matter what!

EagleClaw

From Seeing another comment, curious question, how long have I been a member?

Greyfallow

I've been there so many time but the only thing that worries me is from now we won't have access to games that we had before, i know your work is amazing and you have to make it value but doubling my cuote to have access to the same things i had before is kinda weird...

anony

I don’t mind. I already downloaded the older games.

DDK

Were your games not originally free anyway and patreon was essentially just for early releases?

daniel mariano

I was accidentally kicked out of your patreon this month because it refused my paypal for some reason. Hope this wasn't the reason you did this XD Regardless, I think it's a smart choice

VaniCris

Do what you have to do. For the quality of work you put out it’s only fair. I’ve followed you for years and will admit paying more for what I’ve always had access to is a little bit of a let down but regardless of your decision I’ll follow you and pay more if I have to. Your work speaks for itself you deserve it.

Since you ask, Patreon was supposed to give some stability by getting regular incomes to the creators. The next thing should have been to grant bonuses by the amount paid, and regular updates by tier. It was never done, so it incitated to the pay once, get everything, behavior. But that is not a problem for me, can still pay 1 every month, and pop to ten once every two years :) I'm not gonna stop supporting.

Soviet

I think it's smart choice I also followed for long time because 3 euro is really cheap and I'm willing to pay more if I have to because your work deserve it
