Hello! This announcement includes the scheduled release dates for the demo expansion and L's Side Story, along with some upcoming changes to the Patreon tiers (mostly Tier 4).

Release Dates.

• Demo Expansion: November 9 [09.11]

• L's Side Story: November 30 [30.11] (available to the updated "Inspector" Tier only).

A detailed list of changes will be included in the "Demo Expansion" release post.

Upcoming Changes to Patreon Tiers [Tier 4].

Please note that these changes will take effect on November 1. A post announcing the changes will also be published on the same day instead of the "Progress Update" post.

Here are the upcoming changes:

More information:

The "Civilian" Tier [Tier 1] will be unpublished [those who subscribed to it can maintain their access], as I want to keep only three tiers.

The updated Tiers will be:

• Officer [Tier 1]: $3

• Detective [Tier 2]: $5

• Inspector [Tier 3]: $10

Tier 3 [Inspector] will be updated to include access to side stories and interactive ROs' POVs.

If you haven't read about the comparison of what's included and the reasons for these changes, please check this post for more information.

Important information for Current Tier 4 [Inspector]:

Q: Will I be forced to upgrade to the updated "Inspector" Tier and pay more?

A: No. I will simply unpublish [hide the option to subscribe to] the current Tier 4 and create a new one with updated pricing and benefits. You will have the freedom to upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your membership as you see fit.

I will keep this tier available for some time, but please note that it won't have access to the interactive side stories and POVs, and it will eventually be deleted [I will also personally reach out to supporters who haven't made any changes a week before doing that].

I believe this is a better decision than simply increasing the current price, which could lead to misunderstandings since not everyone checks their messages or emails. I hope this approach will allow for a smoother change without forcing anyone to it.

Q: Do you plan to create even higher tiers or change the current ones aside from these updates?

A: I hope not, but I can't promise anything.

If any changes are made, they certainly won't involve a price increase, as I simply can't offer more than what I currently provide.

Whatever you decide, I want to apologize if these changes disappoint you and sincerely thank you for all your support.

Please know that it has made a significant difference, and without you, my IF wouldn't look this way or have implemented the features it has now.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for reading to the end! ♥
