Hi everyone!Quick update on Patreon tiers, and why I made this change.

The €3 Visual Novel Access V1 tier is now limited to 170 slots.

There are about ~160 people on it right now, so roughly ~10 slots left at 3€.

After the cap is reached, new joins go to Visual Novel Access V2 (5€, unlimited).

Visual Novel Access V1 (3€) is locked in forever for current V1 members who stay subscribed.

If you already have the 3€ tier and stay subscribed, you keep it. I did not want to force everyone currently at 3€ up to 5€. That felt unfair. This is a compromise, current supporters stay, new signups move to 5€ once the 170 slots are full.

On paper, 3€ looks fine. In practice, payment fees take a big cut every month. After fees, what I actually receive is much lower, and that makes it harder to invest in the game or move toward living from it.

Looking at similar games, 5€ still feels fair for monthly early access. I liked 3€, but for the long-term health of the project, this change was needed.

Polls & Community Voice (8€)

I am not sure yet how consistently I can run a full community / polls rhythm. Right now I still have a lot of work on a central part of the game (I will not spoil more than that), and it is genuinely hard to push communication and development at the same time. The game is moving, but slower than I want.

What I can do soon is send one survey for everyone. It will include questions aimed at people who already have or are thinking about the Community Voice (8€) tier, what kind of polls you want next, what you would vote on, and what would make that tier worth it for you. That way I get real input before promising a monthly vote schedule, and you can see whether 8€ fits how you want to influence the project (romance focus, features, priorities).

I will still work on freeing time for more polls when development allows. I am not committing to a fixed calendar yet.

In short :

Visual Novel Access V1 (3€): keep 3€ forever if you stay subscribed; a few slots left on the capped tier

New joins after the cap: Visual Novel Access V2 (5€)

Polls: coming for everyone + 8€ Community Voice ,I am building the habit !!!

Thanks for supporting Ajestremia. These tier changes and the work on polls are about keeping the project sustainable so I can keep shipping updates and, over time, speed up development.
