[ Meta ] Explanation of the Gacha Tier 🔮

Hello! 👋 I wanted to provide a good explanation of the gacha tier, for both current patrons who have questions about it, and those considering it in the future! I'll do it in a simple Q&A style.

Q: Who is the gacha tier for?

A: While the gacha system I've built over the past few months is quite cool, the $8.79 NICE + Gacha gacha tier is mainly for people who just want to give me even more support. Make no mistake, the $4.69 NICE tier is the big content tier for this Patreon -- The gacha system is just something a little extra I wanted to make for people who support me at higher levels.

Q: What do you get at the gacha tier?

A: Every 2 weeks or so, I will message you here on Patreon. I'll message you with a set of 3 (or 4 in some cases??) gacha rolls that have been rolled for you specifically.

⚠️ I can't sent images directly through Patreon messaging, and have to rely on links. However, here I'll include the images too just for illustrative purposes, and so this post isn't a massive text wall. ⚠️

That's being said, here is an example of the messages I sent out just today:

Hi Example Roll! This set of gacha rolls is generated automatically 🤖 but delivered personally. 📨✌( So if you have any comments or questions, I'm here to respond to them! )

📰 News 📰
• New rarity type: SECRET. Very rare, can only be acquired from specific 3-roll type combinations.
• 6 new possible rolls, including 3 of standard rarity + 3 in the Secret category.
• Did a lot of refactoring and background code.
• Not that you'll ever see it...
• B-baka...

💬 Truly the plain bagel of gacha rolls.

Q: What can I do with the gachas?

A: Literally nothing. There is no gameplay.

There is only roll.

There is only roll.

Q: What are the gachas of?

A: Any character from any comic I've ever made, including Shen Comix, Bluechair, any side story like EDEN or My Life as a Skeleton! or The Little Firefighter or the doors series, Live With Yourself. Literally anything goes, this is like Shen Comix smash bros.

Q: How many are there?

A: At the time of this writing, 36 of various rarities.

Q: What if I am at the $7.07 Shen Tries to Explain tier, which was deprecated? Do I need to upgrade to the $8.79 tier to get gacha rolls?

A: Nope! You'll absolutely still get the gacha rolls at that tier, and don't need to upgrade. You could say you got "rolled into" the gacha tier, even. 😉

So, hopefully that clears some things up, but if I missed anything or you have any additional questions, ask away in the comments and I'll answer them personally and possibly add them to the Q&A.

Also, many people don't know that Patreon has a direct messaging system. So if you're in that tier and you didn't know about it, check your DMs! You probably have like a million rolls there waiting for you lmao.
