General Updates + Changes to Star/Moon Tier

Hey, everyone!!

I don't usually make purely text posts here but it seems to be a good time for one since this Patreon reached its year anniversary a few months back, plus I've been doing some thinking regarding some changes I'd like to make.

First and foremost, I was going to make a poll, but, I think I may just go ahead and do it, unless there's huge resistance or something - currently Star Tier is $1/month with the perk of highres files, mostly, and Moon Tier at $5/month gets processes + highres files. However, Patreon recently implemented taxes on the patrons side I believe, so now it's a little more uneven.

Anyhow, I do put quite a bit of work into laying out the processes but also I don't think it's necessary for a $5+ paywall, it's kind of arbitrary. So I'm probably combining both tiers at the end of the month, keeping the name Star Tier, and setting it at $3/month and you can view both processes + highres files. You'd *also* get access to the Discord server if/when I find there's enough people around to warrant one, haha.

So, that's good news if you've been contributing $5+, haha. If you're currently paying $1/month and don't want it to raise, that's understandable too. <:) You can continue to give $1/month as a donation or drop out if that's what's best for you!

Anyhow, a side note from that, Moon Tier will also remain but may not be active for a bit - what I really have been tentatively considering for a long time now is making some merch! Probably would start with common cutesy things like Pokemon/Animal Crossing/etc. If I get a handle on that then Moon Tier would probably be a $10/15 tier, depending on the costs of merch, where you'd receive prints/stickers/charms/whatever I end up making monthly. But that's kind of a future goal, haha, but I guess it's just something to keep in mind if that interests you...?! But that being said I might try to make some practice merch runs soon, on my general social medias!

Anyhow! I'm very thankful for the people who have been supporting me thus far, it means a lot! I feel a little guilty because I'm pretty bad at advertising for my Patreon, I ought to do it more so there can be potential growth here, haha! Plus as always, I should stream a little more often...

I hope this isn't a huge deterrent to anyone, I just want things to be a little more accessible but also make it worth it for both of us. Thanks for reading. <3
