Tier Charts & Changes to Tiers

Hello Hexxet here,

Over the past months some things have changed. For example, we have succeeded in fulfilling several patreon goals, there is now the options for commissioned side stories, and we have turned from some pinup pictures to a full-fledged monthly side story. And since all of that was not planned by me from the start, I'm adapting the Tiers a bit.

I've created a Tier Chart for each tier (see the images above), explaining the benefits of each tier. Additionally, I'm giving you a textual description here and an explanation of why I'm doing this or that.

1.) Enthusiast Tier: With some goals fulfilled and some time passed this Tier has gained the benefit of faster progress and therefore also early access. (So, for example: The public version of office Party currently is at Scene 06 Part A Page 30 while Enthusiast Tier Members are already at Scene 06 Part B Page 12. This type of early access will further increase with more time passed, thanks to faster progression speed on patreon. (Goal days with 2 images). Now while this is great, I have bad news as well. I'm going to move the access rights for the monthly side story up to Afficionado Tier. At the beginning I was just offering some pinups as extra content for patreon members, because there was no further benefit for the first tier. With this having changed and with the extra pinups having turned into a fully-fledged side story, that is quite some work, I think it's fair to use this benefit to make the Afficionado Tier more attractive, beginning next month. Note that the monthly side-story of September will not be influenced by this. You have all voted on that one, and I'm not doing negative changes mid-month.

2.) Afficionado Tier: Beginning next month, the monthly side story will only be accessible from this tier upwards. Furthermore, I don't like the different states of progression to Office partie's main story. Currently we have 4 different states: public, enthusiasts, afficionados, connoisseurs. That's too much in my opinion. Also, the patreon members are split into three different threads/posts, which can have negative effects on communication (since comments are only read by other members of the same tier). For this purpose, I'm deleting One Week Early Access, but instead Afficionado Tier will gain full Early Access (Two Weeks, previously only available to Connoisseur Tier). With this all Members at Afficionado Tier or above have full access to the main story of "Office Party". (Note that this change is currently not active, I plan on  unifying the Afficionado/Connoisseur Tier posts this evening or tomorrow, so please be patient)

3.) Connoisseur Tier: Now, if you read the changes to the Afficionado Tier, you know that you can basically downgrade to that Tier for full access to the main story. So, aside from your name in the credits and my thanks, what are your benefits then? As you hopefully have realized over the past days, I'm releasing some magic control side stories, either from commissions or by myself. (For example, Magic-Control Story: Dylan and the Irresistible Potent Penis Potion). These side stories are only available to Connoisseur Tier Members, and I'll be posting at least two such stories each month. Furthermore, until now we did vote on which characters should appear in the next monthly side story. I'm not convinced of this process, because you could only influence which characters would appear in the story but nothing else. For the future I plan to introduce wheels of control, where each Connoisseur Tier Members can add a character from the cast of "Office Party" AND some type of mind-control or magic control. Then, at the start of the new month I'm gonna spin the wheels you filled, and with luck your type of MC is chosen by the wheel. Now this feature has not yet been implemented, but I plan to do so before the end of the month. (Probably after the release of Septembers monthly side story next week).

I hope I'm not discouraging anyone of you with these changes, but I do think that the Tiers will be in a good state like this, with their benefits balanced in a fair way.
