For those that want to show support, but not in a "take my money" kind of way. At this tier, all you'll get is notifications, but I'll still appreciate that you're here.

Eternal Gratitude

The obligatory "eternally grateful" tier.

This tier gets you all of the basic benefits you'd expect of being a supporter. Early access to each game build, early access to demos for potential future projects, access to supporter-only posts and renders, voting power in supporter-only polls, and behind-the-scenes looks at what's being developed.

You'll also get an invite to my private Discord server. Once you've joined, you're in forever, regardless of whether or not you continue to support The Mithril Hourglass. The Discord server is the fastest way to reach me, so if you have feedback, found a bug, or just want to chat, Discord is the best place to do it.

Supporter

Support development.

At this tier, you'll get all the benefits of previous tiers, as well as the opportunity to suggest additions to the current project(s). Things like adding a costume for the main character, a customization option for areas that support it, a particular scene - anything that could be an option within an existing system of the current project(s). Just send a message to The Mithril Hourglass to get started.

V.I.P.

In addition to all previous tier benefits, you get access to additional V.I.P.-only channels on the Discord server as well as access to regular test builds. This gives you a unique opportunity to provide active feedback and help make decisions as the game is being developed.

I'll also find a way to put you into the active project upon request. This could be naming an NPC after you and working together to decide how they should behave, building a side quest or event - just about anything. While there are some limits, everything will be open to discussion and personalized to you. Just send me a message to get started.

Maids & Masters v1.0.1 Public Release


I mentioned it with the PK early access post yesterday, but since it's more relevant here, I'll take a minute to actually talk about it.
The Next Project poll has closed, and my next project will be a full strategy guide for Maids & Masters. This will include Maids & Masters: Arrival and probably the April Fool's Maids & Re-Masters builds as well in their own separate sections. The guide will be a paid product, but I'm going to be doing everything I can to make it worth the purchase price, and there will of course still be options for Patrons to get your hands on it without needing to pay extra. As much as I want this to be financially worth my time, I want to be fair to everyone, too. I'm certainly not going to demand you give me $30 for a .txt file; it's going to be a .pdf with maps, indexes, commentary, lore, and more, and it's going to be reasonably priced.
Since it'll be where most of my attention goes for my personal projects, you'll obviously be getting plenty of updates and Patrons will get previews (with VIPs getting "test versions" of the guide as I complete segments of it) as we go.
With that said, I think that's more than enough about the guide for now. 
Here's v1.0.1 of Maids & Masters; the patched version of v1.0:
Full changelogs will be available on itch shortly if they aren't up when you're reading this.

Precious Kouhai v0.3 Preview


I'm gonna do the Precious Kouhai previews quick and dirty. I don't think many of you will mind, given the expressed general disinterest I've seen, but I still want to be open and honest with y'all. 
This preview shows a whole bunch of things besides the new content - how renders look now that I'm using GraphicsMod, how the characters look with the updated textures, and a bonus look at the messed up teeth I mentioned on the dev blog.
I was originally looking to double the content of the last two updates for PK (going from 2 scenes up to 4) but as it stands, I may just stop at 2. I have time to make at least a third if I dedicate the time to it for v0.3, but Divine Intervention is also currently at a point that needs significantly more of my attention than usual (and if you haven't checked DI out yet, go here and do that).
That doesn't change my plan for PK, though. Regardless of how much content I put into the updates, I want to stay committed to v0.3 coming out next Friday and v1.0 coming out at the end of February and then PK will be done and I'll be moving on to my next project.
Which - as one final reminder - if you're a Subscriber and haven't voted in the Next Project Poll, it's still pretty close, and the poll is still open for another week!
