Reward Ideas for Patreon
Added 2020-11-10 19:54:13 +0000 UTCHello everyone! I hope you're having a great week so far!
I'm popping in to say that I'd like to make some changes to my Patreon again, and I could really use your input. Don't worry, I'm not removing any more tiers -- I'd actually like to add more and make the rewards better! That's where you come in, soldier.
If there's anything you'd like to receive as a monthly reward for your generous contributions, post a comment down below or on Twitter. As long as you keep it within reason, anything goes. As much as I'd like to, I can't give everyone a waterslide theme park every month, ya know? ;P
Here's what I've got on my mind so far:
- I'd like to change the $1 reward so that I can post news on game development on social media. This will be a win-win: you get free news, and the games get more publicity! :D
- I feel like the $5 tier is good as it is. However, I've been tossing around the idea of giving $5 tier major updates only (version 1.x) and the $10 tier all updates (version 1.x.x), but only if I can offer more to make the price bump worth it.
- I could offer SAI or PSD files of any art I've done, including CG, UI art, and even my drawings on DeviantArt. This would likely be limited to one major art piece per month, or three minor art pieces (like the chibi drawings). You'd be free to modify these however you like and show off your changes to anyone and everyone! Heck, I may even make challenges out of it!
- In-game cheats could also be a reward. I am worried about how easily these could be leaked to the public, however. This one would require some finesse.
- I'd be very interested in branching rewards out to cover non-game drawings, as well. My poor DeviantArt channel hasn't seen a new drawing in half a year because I've been so focused on Grape Escape. >_<
- Plushies. I really want to make plushies of my characters. Really, really badly. I don't know if this would work as a monthly reward, but it's something I'd like to do somewhere down the line if there's enough interest.
That's all I've got for now. If you have anything to add, modify, or simply comment on, please do share! I want to ensure everyone's experience here on Patreon is the best that it can be! Stay awesome, everyone! :)

Haha, thank you! That's a pretty good idea; having a monthly drawing for Patrons would be a decent reward without giving me too much work on the side (plus it'll keep me in practice). I'll add that to my list. ^_^
2020-11-15 22:10:17 +0000 UTCI think lumping together the update idea you had and possibly a monthly non-game related drawing for a $10 dollar tier would be a nice way of doing it. I would certainly pay that to see you drawings again ^^. Of course it all depends on how much you feel comfortable working. It seems like game development alone sucks up a lot of your time. We don't want to work you to the bone!

2020-11-10 22:18:41 +0000 UTCYou could give the change to vote on some of the drawings of the game..... ( I love the ones you got, but I guess what I'm saying its to take more ideas /material) or something like that
