Upcoming Tier Rewards Changes (Patreon)

A big reason why we wanted to move to Twine was the accessibility we could offer our supporters. 

We're adding a few things to the existing tiers coming in November.

• Patrons will be able to access the newest monthly build online through a hosting service so they don't have to download files locally. 
• $5 Patrons will get access to a hosted site containing a more frequently updated development build where new features and content are being tested. 
• $5 patrons will still have access to the image repository, but with the game moving to Twine, the ability to download the images and videos exists for everyone anyway. Bonus pictures and videos will still be exclusive to the repository.
• Public builds will also be hosted online in the future.
• Monthly Patreon Builds as well as Public builds will still be provided as a zip file to be downloaded locally.

We still encourage people to download the monthly release if they can due to bandwidth issues as we still need to optimize many of the pictures and .gif files. Upcoming releases will see us favor webm over gif files unless there are major compatibility issues with the user base.

Patrons will continue to have early access, with Public builds being released approximately a month behind.

Also as an aside, we're attempting to have an accelerated schedule as we go into the holiday season as the last few weeks of the year will be busy for the team. We'll be publishing what our development sprints will be focused on and anticipated release dates. We're hoping to squeeze in an extra release in the last few months. We are re-rendering and animating a few of the scenes which is taking some time but we're making good progress.

Thanks again for all your support.
