News! New Tiers, a new banner soon, what would you like to see?
🕑 Added 2018-08-10 18:19:16 +0000 UTC We’ve been thinking about what to do with Patreon recently, how we can make it better, how we can make it clearer and there’s a bunch of things we’ve been meaning to do for a long time but we just kept delaying it for one reason or another. Thinking to ourselves “eventually we should add more tiers, some goals, make our page look better… Maybe next game” and so on.So we’re finally diving into some of these things even if they’re a bit hollow for now.
First of all we’re adding some new tiers! So now we have $1, $5 and $10 tiers.
$1 tier - We’ve always given at least one patch a month but our schedule has been pretty irregular, lately it’s always been towards the end of the month so we’ve decided to make it a stricter release date. $1 tier patrons will always get a new update at the end of the month, as well as the full translation as soon as it’s finished, a little bit before a public release, even if that’s mid-month. As well as the ability to vote on any patron only polls we do.
$5 tier - We’re going to aim to do a second update every single month from now on in the middle of the month, roughly the 14th for these backers to enjoy as well as their vote counting twice in any game deciding polls.
People in the $1 tier will always have the most up to date patch at the end of the month, you aren’t getting a patch we released two weeks ago or anything like that. Our release schedule will roughly look like this:
14th = Patch v1 → 30th = Patch v2 → 14th = Patch v3 → 30th = Patch v4 etc
Because you’re getting 2 patches worth of content at the end of every month, $1 tier should be getting more content to enjoy every month too.
$10 tier – At the moment this tier offers nothing new, we added it for future thought and to fill out our Succubus sister tier theme! (Thanks to Arakon for commissioning the fan art and letting us use it!)
We’ve been having thoughts about what else we can add to tiers, one idea was to add the names of our higher backers to the credits of the game which some patrons also suggested and we’ve seen other Patreon translators do, we didn’t do it because we thought it might take away from the “purity” of our translations.
Another idea was to add a higher “personal translation” tier where each month we’ll translate something for you personally, maybe that Monster Girl doujin you’ve always wanted to read in English but anything goes within reason.
We’ve also finally added a goal, there’s nothing significant yet, but our main goal has always been to earn enough to work as translators full time. For now it’s just one more small addition to our page, along with the Succubus sister tiers.
We’ve also been working on a new banner as our current one is a little plain and doesn’t really convey the lewd nature of what we’re translating, neither of us are graphic artists but we’re doing our best and hope to have ~something~ ready soon. Maybe I should add more images to our about section too?
If you have any thoughts on these ideas or have any of your own please let us know! We’re always open to ideas so what would you like to see?
Similarly if you hate our thoughts/changes/new tiers let us know, we won’t hesitate to change things back to the way they were we’re just experimenting at the moment!
