November Update with Turning points, Discord server and new tier

The Database Editor continues to grow, both in features and in community.
This post covers a few important updates — including the opening of the official Discord server, Patreon tier adjustments, and a major new feature coming soon.

1. Official Discord Server

The official Discord server for the Database Editor is now live.
It actually opened a bit earlier than planned (by accident, to be honest), but it’s already running and ready for everyone to join.

The server includes:

• Channels for general talk, help and bug reports

• Spaces to share your saves, AI-generated news, or team records

• Patron-only sections for suggestions and discussions

The server is open to everyone, but Patreon members have access to exclusive channels and discussions related to development, feedback, and upcoming features.

You can join using the invitation link below:

It will be the main place for discussion, feedback, and early news about future updates.

2. Patreon Tier Update

The Supporter tier will now become Insider, reflecting its new benefits and role within the project.
The price has been slightly adjusted from 5 € to 6 €, as this tier will now include access to exclusive new content and (if I manage to do so) early features that were not available before.

Here’s the new structure:

• Backer (3 €) — Basic support tier with access to themes, ad-free mode, the news tab, and recognition on the website.

• Insider (6 €) — Adds early access (again, if I’m able to do so), new themes, voting in upcoming polls, and upcoming exclusive features (read the next chapter!).

• Founder (10 €) — Includes all Insider benefits and access to early development builds or previews when available.

Existing patrons will keep their access automatically.

3. Turning Point News

A completely new type of news article is coming to the Database Editor in early November.

These new “Turning Point” stories are interactive events that can influence the world of your save.
You’ll be able to decide their outcome — shaping what happens next inside your universe.

Turning Points will be available exclusively for Insider and Founder tiers.
More details will be revealed as the release date gets closer.

4. Patreon Key Renewal

Starting in November, Patreon validation files will be renewed every two months.
This ensures that exclusive features remain tied to active patrons and helps keep the project sustainable.

• Backer key → Access to standard benefits (themes, ad-free, etc.)

• Insider key → Adds Turning Point News and early access to future features

5. New Themes

New visual themes are being added for Insider and Founder members, offering a cleaner interface and more customization for those who support the project.

6. Thank You

The reception of the last update has been incredible, and I’m hoping to keep bringing you new features to make the game even more enjoyable.

The next phase focuses on making the Editor more dynamic and connected, both through the new interactive news system and the growing Discord community.

Thank you for being part of it — more to come in early November.
