A Poll on Billing and Extra Content
- Option 1 : Resume Billing, Start Posting Extra Content Now 91
- Option 2 : Keep Billing Paused, No Extra Content Until After v0.17 Release 46
I've been thinking lately that I want to provide additional bits of content to patrons outside of just game releases and the occasional development update. I always felt we should provide patrons with some extra content, and now that I have control over the Patreon account I can do just that. The Patron Discord benefits are nice, but I really want to provide some actual patron exclusive content. I want to share things like behind the scenes bits, unused/raw images, sprite collections, height charts, etc. This would likely be posts every few days with a variety of content related to the game and the girls. However even though I have lots of ideas for extra patron exclusive content, I can't and won't post anything until billing is resumed, which means waiting until after the next release.
It has also come to my attention that while patron billing is suspended, it is impossible for new patrons to subscribe and support the game. This means that I cannot gain any new supporters, on top of still being able to lose supporters. This is really unfortunate.
So, I am thinking of resuming Patron Billing, with the condition that I make more consistent posts of content while I continue to work on the game. This would not change the amount of time it takes me to finish the next update, but would give you supporters extra content while you wait. I'm making good progress on the update, but I don't have an estimate on how long it will take. Therefore, I'm going to put it to a poll, and let all you supporters decide. Are you okay with billing resuming for some extra content now while you wait? Or are you okay with continuing to wait with no billing or content until the next update.
I resume Billing immediately. I will make periodic posts on Patreon of additional exclusive content while continuing to work on the update. This also opens up patron subscriptions again, letting me gain more supporters.
I keep Billing paused until the next release. The only posts on Patreon will be occasional development updates. Once the next update releases, Billing will resume and I can start posting extra content.
Personally, I would like to resume billing. Getting to post extra content and share things sooner will help motivate me, and will also let me get more engagement from supporters around the game's development outside of the game's discord. But as I said, I want know what the people think, so I'm making this a poll.
