Update to Tier Benefits: Monthly Q+As and Commission Polls!

Hey friends, I'm back with some new tier benefits thanks to recommendations from the community!

1) I am starting monthly Q+As where I will aim to thoroughly answer five (5) questions posed by the community. For members at the Supporter tier or higher, you are now eligible to submit one (1) question request per month either here on Patreon or on our Discord (requires you have the tier-specific Discord role) - these requests will be filtered by our wonderful moderators to narrow down to high value questions that fit to some guidelines. I will then provide answers at the beginning of each month (+/- a few days given my availability). The answers to the Q+A will be posted here on Patreon.

My preliminary guidelines are this:

a) I won't answer anything about release timing/scheduling - it's ready when it's ready!
b) I am very unlikely to answer any story-related questions pertaining to future releases.
c) I am happy to answer technical questions about TNH development or Ren'Py development in general.
d) I am happy to share advice or insight into indie game development and crowdfunding, although I don't pretend to be an expert.

Don't be upset if your question isn't chosen - it might be too niche, it might cover a topic we aren't ready to talk about yet, or it might just not be the right month for it!

2) I will be conducting monthly polls to facilitate crowdfunding of character/pose commissions. Any member of the community can comment directly on the poll or DM me either here on Patreon or on Discord to request a character/pose to be added to next month's poll, subject to my interest/approval. Members at the Supporter tier or higher will be able to vote for the characters/poses they'd be willing to support.

At the end of the month, if it seems like there is sufficient interest in one of the poll options, I will open either a custom subscription tier or a purchasable post for the commission with the target and progress towards unlocking the commission. There will not be an explicit time limit on crowdfunding unless it fails to make progress entirely, in which case I will probably close it eventually.

The first poll for October will start a little early - today!
