Upcoming Update News v0.5 + Patreon changes and ways to help

Hey all!

We've been grinding out Annie's update content and to put things into perspective:

Annie script was 2000 lines long. It's 6000 lines long now and with the final parts added, probably close to 7000 lines. So a whopping 3.5x the size. This all reflects new content including a lot of new images and such. I've described a little bit of the content in my last update but this is essentially the sheer scope of it.

We'll try our best to get everything wrapped up by the end of the weekend for patrons but that's dependant on a few variables.

Patreon Changes

Moving on, I was thinking about a few changes to Patreon I'd like to make. I know for some people the base $5 monthly support may be a bit high, so I was thinking of adding a "Helper" tier for about $2 a month, almost like a small tip jar. It will incorporate a "daily" dev log to post what I've been working on every day or other day as to not leave anyone in the dark for too long. I do enjoy sharing updates but typically in bigger mega posts. I can try breaking things down if you guys prefer that format. Also there will be a few changes to the voting system as I'd like a little bit more involvement :)

The changes would be as follows (they include tiers above):

Helper Tier

• Includes "Daily Dev Log" of what I'm working on whenever I can share something and some general on direction

Supporter Tier

• Latest Build (2 weeks earlier)

• Character Update Polls: Picking which character gets the next update.

• Supporter Characters Unlock Code.

Premium Tier

• New Character and the Story Design Polls: This will continue soon. I have some drafts I would like to share.

• Discord-based request board/forum where you can request certain story content to be added. This is for smaller things like individual images, tiny story arcs or special dialogue additions. This is not for creating a whole new storyline or route. So no "Please add NTR or NTS for X character". Reasonable requests, and I'll keep a close eye on them. Others will be able to upvote your posts if they agree. So aim to make it clear and concise. No promises and we'll see how it works for a while!
