Creating patron tiers

Hi all!

I wanted to announce a few possible changes to the Singularity Games patreon and solicit feedback before anything fully goes into effect.

I'm planning to formalize specific tiers. This gives me a bit more control over things (for example like making a commercial 3D printing license tier) and I think it will help things grow and hopefully become a bit more sustainable in terms of the work/time invested.

All of that said, if anyone has any feedback, please do let me know. I'm truly grateful for everyone who has supported this project over time and I don't want any changes to alienate anyone.

There would be four tiers, outlined in detail below. I will be creating a limited tier (called the Light Elements) for early patrons such as all of you that will be cheaper than the main tier.

I'm also trying to figure out a good way to reward folks who have been patrons over an extended period of time as opposed to joining for a month and cancelling. I have a few ideas for this, but I'll touch back on it later.

Timing-wise (if I can get all of my ducks in a row), I would start adding the new tiers at the start of July, however no ones access would change until August.

Anyway, here are the tiers in more detail:

The Singularity: 1$ tier

A huge thanks from me.

Access to patron exclusive posts.

Make project suggestions and vote in polls.

A welcome pack with a sampling of Patron exclusive files, discount  links for 2 suits in the Singularity Deck, and discount codes for the Singularity Piecepack Earth Tile & Token set.

Note: This tier does not include access to the full patron drive.

The Light Elements: $3 tier, limited to 50 patrons

A limited tier for Singularity Games earliest supporters.

Provides the same benefits as the Heavy Elements Tier, including full access to the Singularity Games patron drive, but for slightly less as a thanks for being an early supporter.

The Heavy Elements: $5 tier

The main tier that gives you full access to the Singularity Games Patron Drive which includes:

Print and Play files for the Singularity Deck

Print and Play files for Singularity Boards, including the Ultimate GIPF Board

Multideck Maker Layouts and Art assets to modify and make your own custom version of the Singularity Deck.

STL files for the Singularity Box game storage system

STL files for the Magnetic Hex and Grid Board

Print and Play files for the Singularity Piecepack

And much more...

Discount links for the Singularity Deck and Singularity Piecepack

Suggest projects and vote in polls

Access to exclusive Singularity Deck suits, Singularity Boxes, and board designs that are only available to patrons

After 6 months you are allowed to design your own icon for the multideck maker project.

The Molecules:

Retailer License: $45

A commercial license tier for 3D printers to sell printed versions of Singularity boxes and boards. Includes access to everything in the heavy elements tier.
