Some small changes to the Patreon! (Patreon)

Hey guys! Oscar here! Just posting to confirm some small changes we're making that will kick off a general overhaul of the Patreon going forward as progress continues on Aether II - Highlands. These changes won't affect current Patrons but they're worth noting anyway.First off we've changed what information we put publicly on the Patreon. Before we used to have our earnings per month visible publicly on our creator page but this lead to a lot of large one month pledges just to push goals which generally hurt our financial stability. So to encourage individual pledges over big spenders we've hidden the total, instead focusing on the number of Patrons.

We've also shifted the goals from funding totals to Patrons as well. This means that the financial situation for when we reach these goals may not be as steady as what we would have initially liked but it will hopefully encourage more Patrons to pledge small amounts reliably instead of large amounts for one or two months.

On top of that, to ensure once the Patreon rewards roll out reliably, we are now charging new Patrons at the point of pledging. This is a permanent change that will ensure Patrons have actually contributed for the month they're pledging for before they get rewards like skins and access to exclusive posts (more on our posting schedule soon)

Overall I hope these changes encourage more growth and activity on our Patreon and contribute to getting Aether II - Highlands out by the end of the year!

Thanks guys for your long term support <3
