Commissioning Animations, Scenes and Maps (Reward For Patrons and Contributors)

Over the course of working on this project, I have received and completed many requests for new animations, scenes and maps, mostly via direct messages on here, on Discord and f95. As appreciation for their support, I have always tried to prioritize these requests if made by patrons and contributors (those who have contributed significantly to the game via modding / promoting the game).

In an effort to encourage more patrons and contributors and to to provide patrons and contributors a fair, transparent and guaranteed way to get their feasible ideas for new animations, scenes and maps made and added to the game, I'd like to introduce Commissioning as new rewards for patrons and contributors, which will work like this:

Around the 14th of each month, I'll add three posts like below to Patreon asking for commission requests (with the deadline around 24th of each month) for that month: 

1/ Commission Animations for January (v4.24)

2/ Commission Maps for January (v4.24)

3/ Commission Scenes for January (v4.24)

I will then make the animations, scenes and maps and add them to the game in the final update for that next month (i.e for most months, this would be the second update of the month)

Note that these commissioned animations, scenes and maps will be in addition to whatever new content and features planned for the updates, not instead of. Any new pledges or pledge increases from this new commissioning reward will allow me to dedicate more development hours per week to the project, which will not only go to making commissioned content, but also to working on more ambitious improvements for the overall game to take LifePlay to the next level.

The maximum number of commissions per month for the patron tiers are as follows:

• $3+ : 1 map AND 1 scene
• $5+ : 2 maps, 2 scenes AND 1 animation (1-2 actors)
• $10+ or Contributors : 4 maps, 4 scenes, 2 animations (1-2 actors) AND 1 animation (3-5 actors)
• $15+ :  6 maps, 6 scenes, 3 animations (1-2 actors) AND 1 animation (3-5 actors)
• $20+ :  8 maps, 8 scenes, 4 animations (1-2 actors) AND 2 animation (3-5 actors)
• $25+ :  10 maps, 10 scenes, 5 animations (1-2 actors) AND 2 animation (3-5 actors)
• $30+ :  12 maps, 12 scenes, 6 animations (1-2 actors) AND 3 animation (3-5 actors)
• $40+ :  16 maps, 16 scenes, 8 animations (1-2 actors) AND 4 animation (3-5 actors)
• $50+ :  20 maps, 20 scenes, 10 animations (1-2 actors) AND 5 animation (3-5 actors)

"Money isn't the only way to contribute" has always been a key principle of this project so contributors will be given the some rewards as $10 patrons for the purpose for commissioning, giving them the ability to commission a bit of everything each month. I want to avoid the can of worms of evaluating "who contributes more" and "how much your contribution is worth" so I think it's fairest this way. You'll know you're a contributor if I gave you the 'Contributor' role on LifePlay's Discord server or petitioned F95 to give you the 'Modder' tag on F95Zone.
