Hey folks, Storm here. I wanted to give you a quick heads up to some changes to the patron tiers here on Patreon.
First, we're switching up how releases work: Gold, Platinum, and the newly-renamed Titanium (formerly Executive Producer) patrons will continue to have access to new chapters on the day of release (Day 1). Silver patrons will now receive access two days after release (Day 3), and Bronze members will now receive access 4 days after release (Day 5).
For Gold members, Steam keys will now be made available (upon request) for members for any game that they supported during its development. That means that if you supported at Gold (or higher) during the development of Bare Witness (prior to June 1st, 2024) even for a month, you can request a Steam key for it. Once Heaven's Door is available on Steam (soon!) we'll make keys for it available as well.
For Platinum and Titanium members, this benefit is expanded significantly: If you've been a Platinum or Titanium patron at any point, you can request a Steam key for any game we currently have available on Steam for as long as you remain a patron at any tier.
Finally, only Gold or higher patrons will be able to access downloads for earlier, completed games. This means that if you are not currently a Gold member, you will lose access to the Bare Witness download links here on Patreon.
(Edit: After some feedback, we're going to revisit this and see if there's an easy way to allow longtime patrons to continue to access the download links. In the meantime, we're going leave the links open to download for all Bronze+ patrons until we have a better way to address.)
We're making these changes in order lend greater value to those higher tiers while avoiding, as best we can, devaluing the lower tiers. We hope you all find these changes reasonable. If you have any feedback, or any suggestions on how to further lend value to a particular tier (other than custom renders; Slockie absolutely despises working on them, so for now only Titanium patrons can request them), we'd love to hear your ideas.
Thank you all, very much, for being here. More to come as we continue to work on chapter 3 of Heaven's Door!
