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.
There's 73 games from 56 devs in there, all completely free for the bundle. If you're looking for something to keep you busy on Single's Awareness Day, I've got you covered.
As for the cards, I am genuinely surprised Iris didn't win one. She shot up to first place immediately, and then didn't get any more votes while a bunch of others kept getting more. That left Melissa, Willow, and Katrina to win the Patreon poll.
And then it hit me that, if all goes well, I won't be working on Maids & Masters after 2025. Which meant there wouldn't be another chance to make any cards for the rest of the Maids. So I decided to count the Subscribestar poll separately, where Emily, Summer, and Ivy won. So you get six cards instead of three.
And since that still leaves a lot of Maids without a card and me without a good excuse to make one for them, I decided to make them all anyway (as well as an alt for Willow, because as funny as this card is, it's not a great Valentine) as a bonus for the bundle. If you're not familiar, these mega-bundles I host have stretch goals, and the first stretch goal is always bonus renders from devs that want to make them. The bundle is absolutely going to hit the bonus render goal; we've already nearly hit the first goal in just the first day (and if you're someone who made a contribution, thank you for your generosity), so if you want to see the cards for all the other Maids, give that link up top a click to check out the bundle. The bonus renders will be added to the bundle page, free for everyone, shortly after the second goal is hit.
This was supposed to go up a good while ago, but this week has absolutely flown by and I forgot what day it is. Whoops!
I don't have a lot of development news that's ready to share publicly that isn't already on the dev blog, but February is nearly upon us and I should have something for you in between test builds and patch notes, so let's do a poll to make more Valentine's cards.
They'll be in the same style as those I've made before for Ella and Alice. If you haven't seen those, here's an example. Since they already have cards, they'll also be excluded from the poll here.
And since there are so many characters (and I want someone besides Iris to have a chance at winning), we'll do top three, and I'll post all three publicly (since they'll be SFW) once we're closer to Valentine's Day.
Multiple choice is active, so pick all your favorites. The poll will be open until the end of the day next Friday.
