Dakzky reward update (Patreon)

The past few months were a development hell for me and PCG. We've been having bottlenecks and it is just not sustainable to keep going like this. I have to make changes or I might as well shut down RC. 

In the past, I did a poll about what content should I produce. And the result was  to focus exclusively on Rogue Courier. We did that but it didn't work. Our development is much slower compared to other creators. Our game is much more complex and we couldn't really compete with visual novel games that can pump out new updates every 2-4 months. People thought we were inactive. Pledges went down and we struggled to pay our bills. I had to come up with a solution and that was TTGC. It's a content to fill up the void. People liked it. Everything seems to be going well until Android and Mac build had major technical problems. It chocked RC's development. Adding TTGC to the mix really made things even harder to move forward. The bigger the game became, the harder it is to manage. There was no breathing room at all.

I cannot allow this to happen again in the future. I have to reduce PCGs workload so he can spend more time working on things that really matters to RC. But I do realize RC will not be able to sustain itself so I cannot give up TTGC completely yet. 

I decided to roll out new sets of rewards for Silver, Gold, Platinum tier. And I also added a new tier called "The hero of fire" tier. 

Silver reward- TTGC nominations will slow down, but I will add a new content called Dakzky specials. Essentially, it is similar to TTGC nominations but in video format instead. But there's more!... Silver nominations will be simultaneous with the new Gold tier nominations. The female character that wins this silver poll will be paired up with gold tier's poll winner. TTGC and and DS will alternate every three months. Schedule of TTGC and DS here: https://dakzky.blogspot.com/2023/02/ttgc-and-ds-schedule.html?zx=ca1eb79cc7f4f3cd

Gold reward- In this Dakzky Special, gold patrons can nominate male or futa characters. OC's are accepted as long as it has permission from the owner. Winner will be paired with silver tier's female poll winner. Nominations will be simultaneous with silver tier nominations on our gold tier channel on discord. Gold patrons can still participate in the silver nominations and poll. Take note that these animations will be new. Not re-skins of existing scenes. 

Platinum- Access to exclusive discord stream on-demand. This is for patrons who wish to see my real time activity and can chat with me at the same time. And you still have permission to call Halina your waifu.

Diamond-You get permission to call all of RC female characters your waifu.

The Hero Of Fire- This tier will set free of all Dakzky's content available to public. As long as this tier is taken, my content will be available to the public for free. The internet needs heroes and that cannot be me. Sometime ago, I offered an olive branch, and the internet swallowed me whole. That would have been fine personally, but I got bills to pay and I cannot operate at a loss. This tier is an act of philanthropy. 

So there you have it.  This should solve our workload without taking away too much on previous rewards. This new Dakzky special should be able to fill up the void just like TTGC did. Only difference is, this one won't interfere with RC's progress in terms of programming. Also, I'm actually about to run out of scenes to reskin. If I keep TTGC as it is, I will eventually run out of scenes. Anyway, I just hope I don't get too much flame with the changes.
