Patreon Tier Updates

Hi all!

It’s been a while since we looked at the Patreon Tier benefits and what’s included. We’re making some changes in response to the consistent feedback we’ve received over the last several months. The changes below will take effect on September 1st. Please bear with us while we reorganize content into its new tiers.

Hopefully, these changes will allow people to access the content they want without breaking the bank! Cost of living is crazy right now, I know! So, let’s get to it :D

Tiers Changes

The currency will remain GBP because I am a British resident. I know it’s not a favourable currency exchange rate wise, which is one of the reasons for the benefit changes. 

• £1: This tier will remain pretty much the same. It’s for people who want to offer a little bit of financial support to the projects.
  
  Devlogs will return in the form of weekly BTS posts. This will be a compilation of everything we’ve discussed and shared in the BTS channel on Discord - as well as projected release dates if/and when we feel it’s right to share them.

• £5: This tier is becoming our Art tier. Both SFW and NSFW art sets will be available in this tier going forward. We know that there are many supporters out there who simply enjoy the art, so we don’t want to lock all the good stuff behind too high a paywall. 

  In addition to the Monthly CG sets, this tier will also gain access to random artwork that Adam and I create to experiment with new assets and techniques.

• £10: Our £10 tier is going to be where the majority of our additional content sits. Short stories, VN Shorts, and Early Access to the New Hope & Hollow updates. We want this tier to feel more premium, and that by joining it, you’re getting a deeper look into the worlds we’re creating! 

  As New Hope & Hollow are free-to-play, we decided to bump their early access previews to this tier so it feels more like a reward/benefit to get to play early. 

  In addition, this tier will also get 4K UHD and Mobile Backgrounds from the monthly CG sets. 

  For continued support in this tier, Patreon will also send you exclusive Apollo Studios merch! 

  A miniprint of Justin’s Armi Underwear photoshoot, and an Apollo Studios logo sticker.

• £15: This tier has no additional benefits. It is a way for you guys to offer additional support.

• £30: Our highest paid tier gives you access to everything in the tiers below, in addition to merchandise for continued monthly support of this tier. These are:

  Exclusive Sticker | Exclusive Mug | Exclusive Poster | Exclusive Hoodie 

We hope these changes feel fair and bring content into a more accessible range for everyone! We’ve removed some benefits that were simply too challenging for us to manage due to our small team of two and limited time.

As always, thanks for your continued support, and hopefully this awful alternate timeline we’ve found ourselves in sorts itself out soon! 

Stay safe, safe cute <3
