Announcement: Exotic Idol now $4.50 + New $5 Tier Details (Action Might Be Required) (Patreon)

Hello! Before all else, I owe you all my gratitude for reaching 300 patrons! Your support means so much to me and I hope to be worthy for your love and attention! Without further ado, let's go through the important stuff.

EXOTIC IDOL TIER IS NOW $4.50 AS OPPOSED TO $5

This was one of my campaign goals for reaching 300 patrons - but I was going to do it anyway this month irregardless of that in response to Patreon's new tax policy. Long story short, people from certain states or countries will have to spend some percentage extra on top of their pledge. Long story long: Read my opinions here. 

Even though my top tier of Exotic Idol is cheaper, for some people it will still cost more than what it used to. For a lot of people in the US though, this price change should even things out. In any case, I try my best so my patrons aren't taking the brunt force of such changes.

If you were an Exotic Idol Patron and wish to benefit from this price change, you have to MANUALLY edit your tier. Patreon does not give me the functionality to edit the pledge amount of a tier so I had to make a new one. I can't carry people around between the tiers either so you're the ones to do it. I am sorry about the inconvenience. Once you do it, the price change carries out starts from the following month. 

Reminders regarding you that you might want to change your tier to benefit from the price change, in the form of direct messages, will be delivered to all my Exotic Idol patrons shortly.

$5 TIER SLOT IS CHANGED INTO "GAMER QUEEN"

The old tier, however, stays, as you can see. This tier is now the Gamer Queen tier, and if you want, you CAN stay in it!

For all sense and purposes, Exotic Idol has not lost any pledge rewards. Gamer Queen is a whole new tier with extra rewards on top of what Exotic Idol usually gets. Exotic Idol still unlocks every illustrative/comic piece uploaded and it is not subject to change.

WHAT DOES "GAMER QUEEN" UNLOCK?

1- Game Releases

Gamer Queen is a bit of a loose tier. It is to do with my PC Video Game Development ventures! The members of this tier will get to engage in Closed Beta/Alpha and other relevant unfinished releases of my currently developed video games. Currently, I'm working on Casino Sonikko: Blackjack Supreme!

Unlike Exotic Idol, Gamer Queen does not guarantee exclusive pledge rewards every single month. Making games is difficult and it can be slow, where some aspects cannot be made piece meal divided into months. I don't imagine the first playable version of Casino Sonikko to even come until the end of this year, and I have to put a lot of effort into it to bring it to you guys.

The eventual v1.0 version of a game I make will be available to public, so you don't have to be in Gamer Queen tier to play it at some point. However, Patrons will get more updates afterwards for a special v1.5 version with extra content and even privatized/personalized goodies!

2- Special Backstage Role

Updates regarding my games won't be posted on Patreon, but will be in Discord. Gamer Queen tier will grant you a special backstage role where I share concept drawings and documents regarding my games - and also, scripts belonging to my comic projects! You can observe them, comment on them, or even share your ideas to see them in my future projects!

This will go into effect starting from June 1st. This role will ALSO BE GIVEN TO EXOTIC IDOLS WITH HIGH LIFETIME PLEDGE AMOUNTS (at least over a year's pledges worth, or around $60 or more) IRREGARDLESS OF WHETHER THAT PERSON HAS THE GAMER QUEEN TIER OR NOT. Future Lifetime Pledges sadly will not count towards this and this Legacy/Veteran system will only be done once, calculated from the information available on  the first week of June.

3- Mentions and Credits

In my videogames and if you request them, in the page of a big comic, you can have your name be mentioned as a Patron Executive!

In the games especially, there will be different forms of such mentions with added benefits such as a customly drawn representative icon, the ability to add a 128-character message and a hotlink to any gallery/website owned by the patron -etc. Since such special extras can only be delivered in limited amount, the higher forms of mentions will be given to those with higher lifetime pledge amounts. You may also choose to give your mention to someone else's use, since I know not everybody enjoys having their name on a cartoon porn thing.

When the game is about to be playable, such details will be more explicitly given to you guys, but that's pretty much the idea.

----

ALL IN ALL, EXOTIC IDOL IS STILL THE DEFINITIVE TIER. "Gamer Queen" is extra privileges for extra-feeling patrons. You do not have to stay in that tier (especially if the new tax policies have the chance to really hurt your wallet) and you will not be inconvenienced for doing so.

Phew, that was a load to type. I'm sorry if things are confusing but I explained it in the best way I can. All in all, if you only care about the comics - just change your tier back to the Exotic Idol, now under $4.50 of entry fee a month.

Again, thank you for all your support and love, and here's to even bigger projects!

EDIT: Oh, and, I will also be taking down my other campaign goals regarding more price cuts on the Exotic Idol tier. I realized what a pain in the ass is to constantly ask you guys to hop between other tiers. I will still keep the goal for 500 patrons though, which promises that Super Star and Exotic Idol tiers will be the same, at $3. Partly because that sounds impossible for me to attain it. But mostly because I am indeed looking for ways to have more patrons in there, as opposed to have more money come to me.
