Subscription Tiers

FREE
Follower

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.

Paid Posts

This was supposed to go up Friday alongside the post that went up on Patreon, but I was out of town and couldn't remember my login information. It's a poll specific to a Patreon feature (so I won't also be bringing the poll over, but if you want context, I explain what that feature is below), but everything that goes up there is supposed to go up here and now I'm back in town, so here it is.

I mentioned in a previous post that I'm currently leaning away from using the feature, but being out of town, I can't exactly post any teasers for the coming April release, and it doesn’t hurt to get your opinion on the matter. 
If you're not aware, Patreon has added a feature where I am able to make specific posts available for purchase rather than keeping everything that would be behind a pay wall exclusive to Patrons that have an active pledge to the associated tier(s). If you purchase the post, you get access to the post's content, but none of the other benefits of being a Patron.
The only way I can think to use this would be for individual updates to save those of you who just want the new content and don't care about anything else the trouble of making a monthly pledge, getting your download, then canceling the monthly pledge. Maybe other options would present themselves as time goes on, but if I do end up using the feature, it would be limited to that. At least to start. 
If you have any thoughts, there's obviously some room for nuance here, so feel free to leave a comment and share those thoughts if you have them.

Maids & Masters Valentine's Card Poll

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.
