Patreon Tier Revamp! New Perks, Better Access, Same Price
🕑 Added 2025-05-26 19:21:38 +0000 UTCWhats up, everyone? 🤩
A while ago, I mentioned there would be a few changes to Patreon after the release of Chapter 03, and today, I’m here to give you a more detailed explanation, along with a quick summary at the end of the post (which ended up being huge, LOL).
But first, I just want to say: thank you so much for all the incredible support. With the big increase in patrons after the new update, I’m now able to invest a lot more time into the project, which is amazing! Truly, thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️
Now, let’s dive into it:
I’ve been thinking a lot about the current tier system, and honestly, it doesn’t fully reflect what I had in mind. As the project has grown and evolved, I want the tiers to feel more meaningful and better represent the different ways you support me and the game. That said, I won’t be changing any prices! I think they’re already fair and well-balanced.
Here’s the core idea behind each tier:
Tier 1 (Supporter – $1): A simple way to say thank you and support the project. Ideal for those playing the public version or who can’t/don't want to contribute more right now.
Tier 2 (Follower – $5): For those who want to support the game a bit more, stay updated and get early access, without going all-in.
Tier 3 (VIP – $7): For fans who really enjoy the game, want faster access, more influence, and to stay closely connected with the community, me and development process of the new chapter.
Tier 4 (Elite): For the most dedicated supporters, who want everything: exclusive perks, priority access, deeper influence, and to play a bigger role in shaping the game.
The current benefits already reflect most of this, but I believe they could be better aligned to highlight each tier’s unique value. So here’s what I’m planning:
Adjusting vote weight based on tier
Unlocking game builds on different dates per tier
Adding new perks to further define each tier’s role
Updating tier visuals and names for clarity and personality
I hope these changes will make your experience even more rewarding and reflect just how much your support means to me. 🥰
The proposed changes are:
Supporter:
No changes, just a visual update. It’s already doing its job well.
Follower:
Also just a visual update. This is the lowest-cost tier to access the latest build and be part of the active community.
VIP:
Renamed to [Waiting for Poll results]
Latest Game Build → Early Access to Latest Game Build
Voting Power on Polls → Voting Power on Polls (1.5x)
These changes let you stay in the loop with what’s coming next, get early access, and have a stronger voting voice. Honestly, I think it’s the best cost-benefit option.
Elite:
Renamed to Legend
Latest Game Build → Early Acess to BETA of Latest Game Build
Voting Power on Polls → Voting Power on Polls (3.0x)
NEW Behind the Scenes content
NEW Monthly Wallpaper
Personalized Artwork → Removed
Here, I’ll focus on bringing more exclusive content and early beta access to the new chapters. Personalized artworks were hard to manage and underused, so monthly wallpapers feel more rewarding and inclusive.
➡️ TL;DR Summary: ⬅️

I believe these changes will please everyone. Higher tiers get more value without affecting the lower ones. On top of that, I’ll be organizing my schedule better to deliver more content to you all (including free).
As always, I’m aiming to improve, so feel free to leave suggestions in the comments. Any constructive feedback is more than welcome! ❤️
Sorry for the massive post.
