Patreon Announcement: New Tiers & Benefits for 2024

Hello all,

The upcoming changes to my Patreon tiers will go into effect on January 3, 2024. Whether you are a current subscriber or are considering pledging, please read this carefully so you know what to expect.

It has always been important to me to keep my membership prices accessible. However, I haven’t made any changes since I started my Patreon in 2021 and I am feeling the effects of inflation. I am hoping that the new tiers will better reflect the work I can do on Patreon while supporting my livelihood and the game’s development.

• New tiers with different prices will be published on January 3, 2024. If a tier is keeping its price, then its name will be changed along with its adjusted benefits.
• Former tiers that are not being adjusted will be unpublished. This means new patrons will not be able to pledge at these levels. You will keep your tier’s benefits for the duration of the month. During this time, you should upgrade or downgrade your membership to one of the new tiers.
• On February 1, 2024, former tiers that are not changing will be deleted. If you have not changed your tier or cancelled your membership, your tier will appear as No Tier. You will continue to pay your pledged amount until you change your pledge or you cancel your membership. You will not receive any benefits. If your account is connected to the patron Discord server, you will lose access.

Please keep in mind that my Patreon charges once when you pledge and then subsequently on the first day of the month.
