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.

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.

Premier V.I.P.
This tier offers the same benefits as the V.I.P. tier, but at a limited early bird discount.
Limited (0 out of 3) subscriptions

USD monthly
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.

Future Projects - Maids & Masters Guide Public Poll
As I get into the meat of Maids & Masters v1.0, I think it's time to start talking about what comes after Maids & Masters.
The obvious thing is Precious Kouhai, but since that project has so far only received updates in a "there otherwise won't be an update this month so here's two scenes made in a week" kind of way, that's probably only going to get two or three proper updates before it's done.
That being the case, I figure it's time to ask you a question about something that a lot of you have been asking me for - a full walk-through guide for Maids & Masters.
For the sake of clarity: this is mostly just an info-gathering poll. This won't decide whether or not the guide gets made (though there will be a future Patron-only poll that will), this is just to give me a better idea of how much interest there actually is in a guide.
This also wouldn't just be a .txt with a couple lines of extra guidance for each quest and how to get trophies, either. If you're old enough to remember things like the Prima Strategy Guides, that's the sort of thing I'd be looking to make. An in-depth PDF with commentary, pictures, and laid-out mechanical insight for literally every part of the game, complete with indexes of when the Maids learn their skills, inter-document links to relevant pages, and enemy stat blocks.
Something that in-depth would obviously take me weeks, if not months of work to complete (especially being made alongside Precious Kouhai), which means it would be a paid product. Patrons of the Supporter tier or higher (or who have lifetime support over $10, though you'd need to request it) would get it for free, but you'd otherwise need to buy it, either from here or on itch (the guide replacing early access on itch).
As much as I'd like to give it away, keeping myself alive is expensive, and this is what I do for a living. I couldn't afford to put months of work into something that wouldn't provide income, especially when my income is already so low.
So, knowing all that, where do you stand on the idea of a guide for Maids & Masters?
