New Patreon fees
Added 2017-12-07 18:23:33 +0000 UTCHeya!
Today Patreon should have sent you an email regarding a change in how they handles fees.
With this new service creators get a bigger % of the pledges (fees on creators go down from 7~15% of the total to a fixed 5%), while Patrons will have to pay a fee.
Patrons' fee will be of 0.35$ + 2.9% of the pledge. That's going to hit pretty hard the lower tiers (like 1$ Patrons), while the higher levels will be less affected.
Here's NUMBERS:
- $0.379 fee on a $1 pledge
- $0.495 fee on a $5 pledge
- $0.64 fee on a $10 pledge
- $0.93 fee on a $20 pledge
- $1.8 fee on a $50 pledge
- $3.25 fee on a $100 pledge
Why?
I don't know for sure, but I guess it involves payment processors and other complicated things.
Feel free to post questions, this matter is being discussed between gamedevs more knowledgeable than me (and with more spare time~)!

No matter what changes are made fee wise, so long as you continue to pump out good content, and as my wallet permits it, ill patreon fund you till FULL completion of this game; that being said, I sent you a message days ago, and you didn't answer. depending on if you still have it, can you give me a reply please?

2017-12-09 02:50:12 +0000 UTCWell I don't mind so much paying a little bit more extra money to help this project since I quite enjoy it. However, I do expect results in the completion of this game. My expectations for paying have been raised do to the fall of Breeding Season (look it up if your curious on how it crashed), that I pledge too just to see the game go four legs up and making me and my friend extremely disappointed and angered. So i expect great things Towerfag and other team members. (^w^)

2017-12-09 02:40:47 +0000 UTCAs someone whom likes to spread $1 to a bunch of different creators, I'm going to have to drop a number of my pledges. Not happy about that, as it means I lose content I was willing to pay for and the people I beleive in and want to support will be losing funding, but my wallet can't handle those changes...

2017-12-08 04:42:51 +0000 UTCChanges are always happening... but this one in particular will be hard to take by most that can't weather it... also my thoughts are the same as Ulvrik with this game and all other devs in progress keep on keeping on and best of luck in the future.
