Just wanting your input on this. I’ve been tossing around the idea of doing away with tiers and going with only one $8 tier.  

what are your thought?

Depends on your reason for getting rid of the tiers. If you believe that a flat $8 would get you more input from your supporters then by all means do that. If you believe that going to a flat tier will help you feel good about the value you give the do that. If you believe that going to a flat fee will keep people from complaining then don't do it. Some people will always complain. Thank you for thinking of us.

Obviously, it is completely your decision. But honestly, if you decide to reduce or limit the tiers, then I am out. I support over (60) developers and I follow the same process with each. I download and play a demo version to see if I like the story, the writing, and the overall quality of renders / animations. If like it, then I pledge my support. Unfortunately, I have given my support to a few developers, only to find out that they do not provide regular updates or have very little intention of continuing / completing the project. Which is why I typically join a low tier on a month-by-month basis. Ultimately, it is your work and product. And as a business owner, I completely understand how difficult it is to put a value on your work. But the marketplace will determine the value of it based on what it is willing to pay. Anyway, just my opinion.

I'm an average Joe who admires your art. I am currently a member of the Silver Tier. I live within my means and I know I can't afford the Gold Tier. It's up to you on whether you eliminate the Tiers. If you go with a $5 - $10 Tier, I'm in for the $10. If you go a flat rate of $8, I'm in anyway. You decide what's best for you. I'm just common folk enjoying your story

Honestly, I'm not a big fan of that idea. I support multiple creators and to get me to spend >5$/month, you'll have to have a really good game and either frequent (i.e. monthly or bi-monthly) updates or a large (as in "hours of gameplay") update every few months. As much as I enjoy TAC, the updates have been somewhat infrequent over the past years, so personally I'm not up for 8$/month. The lower tiers allow me to keep up with development and show support, even if I have to support the game for quite a while to reach a significant sum in total. To put it into perspective: 8$/month roughly equals a full-priced Triple-A PC game every nine months (Central European pricing). TAC has now entered its sixth year of development, so that would have been almost 7 PC games worth of support from someone pledging 8$/month since the beginning. That's quite some enthusiasm.

TAC2 Ch.15 is a continuation of TAC1 Ch.1-Ch.14... But TACOS is already something new. Although it's new and intriguing, I'm still very upset that TAC ended unexpectedly unfinished and in interesting places. Uncle Robert's job, new neighbors, Ryan should have finally arrived! so many interesting things were and should have been, and now they just broke off. Very sad!

I don't support the a flat rate - as others have mentioned - supporting many creators can lead to a large monthly $$ - I like to support a bit to keep an eye on development - which is why I don't mind sending money for the White Tier on a monthly basis. Once I see quality that I am interested in - I jump up my support and get the content
