Hi everyone,
First of all, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the incredible support you've given to my projects. As you know, my goal has always been to provide the best possible quality in every render and animation, while maintaining a consistent pace of two updates per month.
A while ago, we launched the Forbidden Whispers ($2.50) tier in "Trial Mode." My intention was to see if this model was sustainable in the long term, allowing more people to enjoy early access. However, after analyzing these past few months, I’ve realized that this adjustment has put the studio's stability and my ability to dedicate full-time hours to these games at risk.
To maintain the quality you expect and our current work rhythm, I have decided to make the following changes to the tiers starting with version 0.15 of Thorns Beneath the Wings:
New Tier Structure:
Tier 1 - Forbidden Whispers ($2.50): This will remain a fundamental support tier, but with a new benefit. In addition to the special Discord role and access to polls to decide the direction of the stories, you will now have exclusive access to daily Sneak Peeks of what I’m working on. While it will no longer include early access to the game, you’ll get to see the scenes come to life before anyone else.
Tier 2 - Haunted Lust ($4.99): This becomes the main tier for those who want to play before everyone else. It will include Full Early Access (2 weeks early) for all updates.
Tier 3 - Macabre Desires ($9.99): For those who want to go the extra mile. It will include exclusive digital rewards like special NTR comic projects, that I’m already preparing.
I don’t want this change to feel abrupt. Therefore, for this Wednesday’s release of Cracks in the Aegis, I will honor access for all active subscribers in the $2.50 tier. Everyone will receive their copy as a thank you for joining me in this experiment.
The final changes will take effect with the next update of Thorns Beneath the Wings (v 0.15).
I know this might be difficult news for some, but I am making this decision with my heart in my hand to ensure the games keep growing and that I can continue giving you my best work for a long time.
Thank you for understanding, for your patience, and for being the best community.
