Just Friends - Tier 4 new Rewards.
Hey there, I'm here just to show how the Tier 4 Rewards will work on Patreon. But before that, let me list how Each tier rewards works:
Tier 1 (3USD):
- You get your name permanently added to the Credits in the game.
- Recommended for you if you can't pay a lot but want the project to be released eventually, it helps a lot whenever a patron instead of stopping supporting the project entirely, to just downgrade it's tier t Tier 1 to keep supporting the developer.
Tier 2 (6US):
- Have Access to Sketch Artwork, and sometimes Sketch time-lapses if available.
- Sometimes can see a lower-resolution version of SOME finished artwork of the game.
- Have monthly access to new builds of the game. Game builds are now on 0.51.0.35 on Patreon compared to the 0.38 Open version available here on itch/io.
- That's where most patrons stay supporting the game monthly.
Tier 3 (10USD):
- Originally the biggest Tier of the Patreon.
- You get access to everything said before, plus completed Artwork when available.
- You get access to complete Timelapses if available.
- You can vote (mostly) monthly for what content should be added to the next build. (Sometimes I have to do something very specific so the voting is postponed to the next month, but it's rare for it to happen).
Tier 4 (20USD):
- Tier 4 was released as a Friendly Supporter Tier. It was meant for close friends who wanted to help me a bit more without any new rewards. It's also for those who just want to support this game a bit more.
- Originally, the only reward Tier 4 would get above Tier 3 would be the PDF of the current script of the game a week before the game is released on Patreon, which looked like a Screen Play or something similar, very hard to read because it's made for easy understanding when putting the text into the game, not for easy reading of someone outside the project.
- Recently, Tier 4 Patrons started having the right to enter private Tier 4 Channel on Telegram, there they can see every single uploaded Artwork in a gallery format (protected of course), and any updates about the game too. Such as when new art would drop, etc. The channel also has a few artwork that were never uploaded into the game or Patreon (scrapped artwork) not even Tier 3 have access to those.
Now, I'm updating the Script PDF uploads for Patrons to a more professional format, with a better way of reading it. I'll be converting every single Day of the game as a book. I will be removing every single meta-data information on the files such as Who's speaking what, what position the sprite is, etc., and converting it to a more book-like story for Tier 4 Patrons to read.
How the file was before for Tier 4 Patrons:
- IT was a PDF format text.
- It was just a copy/paste of the original Script I write for then add it into the game, it would look something like this:
Text about something being explained ingame
-- Karnal / Serious/Jump-Low - Side: Left or Right. Background: None DayTimeFilter: None.
Karnal's Text here.
-- Player:
Player Text Here.
That's how it would look, and it was quite difficult for anyone besides me to understand. Now, here's how the file looks on Kindle:
Every metadata was removed, now every time a character says something, its inside quotation marks just like in a book, I also added more text to give context, for example, if Karnal says something, after his quotation marks text, I will say something like: "Hey there" he said with....
So, Essentially I turned the entire Day1 Script into a book format, instead of just a PDF with a lot of useless data for anyone to read. It's easier on the eyes, and you can upload the file to your E-Reader or read on PC with an ebook Reader too. The file also has chapters for easily going back and forth AND a cover too, so when you upload to your Kindle, it will show the cover of the character you're gonna read.
The file is also made to avoid telling if the route gives you any points, instead, it shows what number the answer you're in is, and that's it. It will also show as a title the actual Answer you can select in-game so you know what was answered for you to read that segment.
Here's how the file shows on my Kindle:
And here's how the File is shown if you're reading the text and turn your Kindle Off:
And with that, now Tier 4 Patrons will receive Monthly a new script re-worked to be just like a book on Kindle, or on PC. Since I own professional writing software, I can create ebooks just as good-looking that work just like the ones you can buy on Google or Amazon.
These are a Tier 4 only reward, and are only available on the private Telegram Channel.
EVERY month I personally check if the user on the group are still on the group before I do any update on it, ten days after the month starts. If the patron is not supporting the game as a Tier 4, he's removed from the group, until he goes back into supporting the project as that tier, since he can have access to a lot of files only paying patrons can access. So it's a very micro-managing thing I need to do but it's worth it. Now, don't get me wrong, doing those ebooks takes a LONG time, just for Day 1 with Karnal, it took me a day learning how to compile a good ebook with Scrivener, then around 5 hours of working nonstop to grab the text from the game and adapting it to a book format from the visual novel format.
Still, this is my own way of saying thank you for every single Tier 4 patron who's supporting me with 10 extra bucks.
Anyway, this small post was made just to explain to everyone here how each tier are rewarded and what you can gain if you want, on Tier 4.
Every one of you who supports me, I want to say thank you guys. You are all awesome.
I hope you all have a nice time and a nice weekend! I'll go back to work now! :D
