Reward Changes, Explained!
🕑 Added 2020-07-10 00:11:09 +0000 UTCSo I just posted a big explanation for how rewards are gonna work from now on, and you should totally check it out for all the details, but I wrote that as a sort of long-standing document I'm gonna link to all over the place, and I know right now you probably have some more specific questions it doesn't cover so well.
Like, what exactly is changing??
So I'm going to do a quick rundown of that right here! What's ending, what's going on, what's changing? Let's make things perfectly clear, tier by tier.
$3 Tier: Not much changing here. You'll still have cheat-enabled access to MVOL, but also you'll get some basic cheats for each new game as it comes out.
$6 Tier: Early access to new builds is upgrading to two weeks! Plus I plan to stop making it "mostly ready" builds while I'm still polishing it up, this is going to be the same build the public gets, barring any big problems coming up that need fixing. You'll still get the basic cheats on the advance version, too. Plus, Project Outlines to give you more insider info, and Side-Writes, the successor to Lith's Diary, has come down a tier!
$10 Tier: You still get Art Previews at this tier, and the Side-Writes will be available to you as a new twist on Lith's Diary of course, but also you're gonna be getting exclusive news on how development is going and the right to vote on how new content is made!
$20 Tier: You'll still have access to the latest Deluxe copy of MVOL, but since I won't be updating that very much and MMUs are officially over, things are changing a lot in this tier. Now, instead of MMU, you get one-month early access to any new content, and the Deluxe copy for future non-MVOL releases is replaced with Full Cheats, giving you more powerful control over the new games I'll be rolling out. Also, you'll have the option to get your name in the credits for each project coming out!
$30 Tier: You still have access to the Art Archive, which will be expanded to non-MVOL work soon, and you'll still be getting Daily Content with updates for each day I write on any of these games. Voting has move down a couple tiers, but you still get exclusive input with the new Sounding Board!
$45 Tier: You'll still get named copies with each new release of MVOL, of course, but with development on that game phasing out, you need some new stuff here. Get a personal touch in a different way with the chance to add Personal Additions to each of the new projects, and get more influence over where the game is going with triple voting power! That said, if you got a little attached to seeing your name written into my work, you might be interested in the next tier...
$60 Tier: The suggestions feature wasn't used very often, probably with all its restrictions, and this tier wasn't very popular in general. Now, I think I've found a pretty unique way to let a few passionate people really put their mark on the game! You can use the Alt Character Names perk here as just a way to get a "Named Copy" like in the tier below for your own enjoyment, or you can put a name of your choice in the game for everyone to enjoy, should they choose! I think this offers a fair amount of flexibility for those interested in such things. Plus, you can make suggestions for my Side-Writes at this tier, which I'm hoping will feel a little more fun and less awkward than the original perk here.
$80 Tier: Similar to the last, folks weren't too sure what to make of this tier, so I've formalized the most popular option that came out of it. If you're supporting the project this much, the least I can do is invite you to come game with me now and then!
And that should cover all of it! If you have any other questions about these changes, feel free to ask here! I'm leaving the rewards on the page as they have been for a few hours just so you can double check what was vs. what's coming if you like, but I'll be updating them to the new rewards later tonight. Hope all of this helps put your mind at ease during all these changes!
Cheers!
