Introducing A New Tier: Passed On Cat Tier
Added 2022-11-01 23:05:19 +0000 UTCSo I decided to create a new tier with the bonus scenes in mind. The bonus scene that I released last month was essentially a way for me to test the water on if I could handle working on bonus scenes on the side, and if people enjoy that type of content. Though I can't really say I'm much more confident than I was before that test. So, not knowing what to do, I decided to go forward with my initial idea.
Passed On Cat Tier
The Passed On tier (which is a 25$ tier) has the exclusive opportunity to generate ideas for bonus scenes from now on. It's the same concept that I used for last month's bonus scene. If you're not familiar with it, what I'm going to do is make a post in a week asking for the Passed On tier members to post their idea for a bonus scene as a first-level comment (don't reply to a comment with an idea) on the post. Then, those same members can upvote (heart) the ideas that they like the most. The five ideas with the most upvotes (hearts) will be used for a poll. The poll will be available for anyone who has access to meaningful polls, though the votes of the new tier will be worth x5 in order to give them a bit more power over the result.
The rules for the bonus scenes are fairly simple. Threesome max. The character must exist in the game. Two ideas per member max. The idea mustn't be too complex.
And most importantly, the ideas must consist of small, to-the-point sentences. I want the freedom to have fun. I'm not anyone's personal writer. So we'll use that form (like the last bonus scene) for the ideas:
Who: who is fucking who (Threesome max/The characters must be from the game)
Where: where are they fucking
How: A description of the scene (A single sentence, if possible)
When: If there's a specific period of time that this scene takes place relative to the game, you can add it. Else, skip this.
Outfit: If the character is wearing a specific outfit, else skip this.
Position: The sexual position. If you can, add an image for clarity purposes. I'm not in your head.
Why: This is for the intent. If there's a specific reason behind the act, specify it.
There might be more rules that I add, but that's the gist of it.
One month will be used for generating ideas/the vote. And then one or two months will be used for the writing/implementation. I would like to be more specific with the timeline, but I don't want to say that it will take me a month to write and implement it and it ends up taking two. Unfortunately, I need to think of the speed of my artists as well. I'll still try to do my best to be as fast as possible.
The bonus scene will be exclusive to the Passed On tier members for two weeks. Then it will be available to the 10$/15$. After a week, it will be available to the 5$ tier before becoming available to all tiers after another week.
This is a test run. Obviously, if I can't keep up, or there are just not enough members in the new tier, I'll have to shelve the idea. It costs a lot for a bonus scene, and the time I invest in developing it is not negligible either. Hopefully, it will be a positive experience for everyone involved. Still, I would advise against being a member of the new tier unless you want to support me more than you already are. I don't want to disappoint anyone by not delivering as quickly or as efficiently as I should.
If you think this is a bad idea, or if you have a way to improve on it, please let me know. I feel like I might be missing the mark, but my only way to find out is by shooting blindly and praying that it sticks.
Comments
I don't know about that. I don't even offer yearly subscriptions for my other tiers because I'm scared that I won't be able to deliver, and this one is even worse since it's more of a test. If it doesn't pan out after a couple of months, I'll probably have to give up on the bonus scenes. The thought is really appreciated though, but if you can't afford it monthly, I think it's a good indication that you should probably not subscribe to it. Always think about yourself first.

2022-11-02 02:30:48 +0000 UTCLast meaningful poll, the 15$ tier alone had 90 votes. So I also think that 5x might actually not be enough... Unless of course a lot of people become member of it, but I doubt it.

2022-11-02 01:40:25 +0000 UTCI disagree, the Passed Out tier has a 3x voting power, and I have the feeling that it will still heavily outnumber this new tier, not to mention that even the Hangover (2x) and Tipsy tiers will be able to vote on the ideas. Considering all this, I think a 5x vote is only reasonable for the new tier, and even then it's entirely possible to end up not mattering much at all.
