Welcome to the New BWU: Membership Tiers & Rewards Overhaul!

Hey everyone.
I have some exciting news to share. Starting today, I am completely revamping our Patreon membership tiers and their benefits.
The original tiers were set up back when I first started the game, before I fully understood which rewards were scalable and which ones pulled me away from actual development. Now that the game's mechanics and storylines have become much more complex, I want to optimize my time while offering much more enticing, high-value rewards for the people who support this project.
If you are already a patron, your current tier will automatically map to the new names below, and you will gain access to the new benefits immediately!
Here is the new structure:
Supporter Tier → Freshman Tier ($ 3 USD)
  • 2-week Early Access to all major game updates (before they go public).
  • Voting rights on community polls.
Magister Tier → Sophomore Tier ($ 5 USD)
  • All Freshman Tier benefits, plus:
  • Access to Intermediate Development Builds. These are released between the larger "v0.X.0" updates. All features introduced here will eventually be in the public release; Sophomore members just get to play them early.
  • Access to weekly Development Update posts;
Campus Staff Tier → Graduate Tier ($ 10 USD)
  • All Sophomore Tier benefits, plus:
  • The Official Cheat Module. Graduate members will receive a code with every new build to unlock a special in-game menu. You can use this to instantly increase your token count, manipulate Love Interest stats, maximize skills/levels, and boost magic proficiencies.
  • Note: This is completely safe for your save files. If you use the cheat menu and later lose access to it, your game will continue to function normally.
Overseer Tier → University Board Tier ($ 20 USD)
  • All Graduate Tier benefits, plus:
  • Permanent Credits: Your name (or preferred alias) permanently immortalized in the game's credits.
  • High-Res Dev Assets: Access to uncompressed 2D development assets (character sprites, sketches, concept art). When I produce new art, I will compile it into dedicated posts. Depending on demand, I may also provide .PSD files so you can toggle clothing/expression layers and export them yourself (let me know if that's something that would interest you!).
Note: I am officially retiring the old $15 Teacher Tier. The custom dialogue reward simply wasn't scalable, and removing it ensures 100% of my time stays focused on coding the actual game.
Starting with the upcoming Intermediate Build (v0.9.X), Graduate Tier members will immediately be able to use the new cheat module. Over the next few days, I will also compile and post the very first University Board art pack.
Thank you all so much for your continued support and for making this game possible!
Cheers,
Mr. Crowne.
