Release Restructure #2 - Patreon Points (Patreon)

Hello all

After the change to the release structure mentioned in the last post I wanted to go over what that means for Patreon and why those changes are incoming.

The first point is that the last half chapter release was the last. This change has a couple of reasons. The biggest is that I had to add specific story beats, tasks and path balance twice for each Chapter. It was a lot of planning and work for a small audience and when looking at the story it did not always serve the best path forward. 

Another reason is the declining Patreon support. I love the support I have gotten over the years but no matter what I have done it has only been going one way.  It has had its ups and downs but overall it has had a steady decline.  I need more feedback and more public releases is a way to do that so every release will have a public release.

This is pretty big change to the Patreon Rewards and I fully understand if the supporters want to change their support level. That ties into the decline mentioned above. I have completed 2 games and am working to complete the trilogy. I could spend my energy on trying to "earn" more or spend my energy on making the game I want. I have chosen the later. All cumulative rewards are of course still in play but other than that my focus is to make the best game I can.

Next post will cover what this means for the game.

Have a lovely day
