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.

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.

If you want the rest of them, there's another post for that, but it's only available to Patrons.
Happy (early) Mother's day!

Maids & Masters Mothers Poll Winners (& A Bundle!)
Deirlinn won the poll, with a total of 7 votes between Patreon and Subscribestar! Here's your special preview render.
But wait, what's with the extra logo, you ask?
It's the reason I needed some promotional material and started the poll in the first place. >.>
The Bundle of Joy on itch.io includes 31 games from 21 devs, all with different levels of pregnancy content. More info is on the bundle page.
The other two winners are Caitlainn in second place with 6 votes, and Vendra with 4 votes. Their renders (along with Deirlinn's extra set and the variants of the preview render) will be going up next week.
Despite what the poll on Patreon indicates, Celine only got three votes, so she won't be getting any bonus renders. I'm not sure why, but some votes for her (and only her) are being counted more than once. Which I suppose is in character for her, but apologies to those who voted for her and are disappointed she didn't actually win.

Maids & Masters Mothers Poll
I'm coming up on needing an excuse to make some special renders again, and with my keyboard's death slowing work down and my focus largely being on QoL catch-up, I also don't have a lot of development news to share. So - special render poll!
It feels a little weird to do this with so few characters, but the theme of the thing I need special renders for is Mayternity/Mother's Day, and I haven't given the (potential) mothers of Maids & Masters a lot of love in these bonus things, so let's do some of that.
We'll give the winner two renders, and two runners-up one render. You can vote for as many as you like, but try to keep it to three or less. Each render will have a few variants - with and without pregnancy bellies - and each of those in a "public post" and "member only post" version, for a total of 16 renders.
Winners (along with one of the first place variants) will go up next Friday, with the full spread going to Patrons and the safe versions being posted publicly the week after that.
(And by then I should have a sizeable v0.22 test build for Patrons, too)

v0.20, the first major update of Act 3, the war, is now available!
As a quick note - some issues were discovered after the initial early access release of v0.20. The downloads here are pre-patched and should be free of game-breaking bugs, but if you do encounter an issue, please let me know so I can put out a fresh patch.

Full change log is on the dev blog: https://themithrilhourglass.blogspot.com/2025/03/maids-masters-v020-release.html
