A Couple Announcements

The support you’ll all given me in the last month and a half since I first launched Stationmaster has been incredible. I really wasn’t sure how people would react to a game like this, and I've been blown away by how far it's come already. I’m very thankful for every fan, patron and non-patron alike, who’s expressed interest in the project, and want to give a special shout out to the ones who have been testing my betas and making content for me to steal. You're invaluable to the process, and this would be a lot harder without your help.

That being said, I’m sure it comes as no surprise to many of you that I had no idea what I was doing when I created this Patreon page/project. My focus is mostly on the code, and I was just trying to get the marketing materials into a passable state as quickly as possible. With that in mind (and with your help), I've hired on LockeKosta to get the Patreon looking a bit more professional. Some of you have likely seen him in the Discord already.

As some of you may have noticed, the Patreon reward tiers have changed a bit. I know it’s a little jarring to change the rewards after a couple hundred people have already pledged, but I feel like the new tiers are more appropriate for the project’s ambitious scale. That said, the Patreon reward tiers are set in stone for the foreseeable future, and any changes made to them going forward will be additions.

Your Patreon contribution tier will also now be reflected in your assigned Discord Role. If you’re not already part of the Stationmaster Discord, I encourage you to join by clicking here. The Discord has been more active than the Patreon page so far, and it's a fun community. I'm also there most of the time, so you can ping me directly if you have questions or comments (or want suggestions for H games. I have a few favorites).

If your Role in the Discord server is incorrect or if you have questions/concerns about the recent tier changes, please reach out to me or LockeKosta, and we'll get it resolved directly. 

On a different note, I've finally put in the next couple stretch goals! From now on, whenever a stretch goal is met, Diplomat level patron and higher will be able to vote on the stretch goal they want to see added to the project. Right now there are 11 stretch goal plans separated into three tiers – each tier consisting of new features that take substantially more time and work to implement than the last. This is largely for my mental health, because I used to live in fear that VR support would get picked and I wouldn't have an update ready for three months. 

Details on each feature listed in the stretch goal tiers will be included to the main Patreon page tomorrow. Future stretch goal additions are also probable, and I'm usually pretty open to adding them if you have a cool idea. 

Any feedback on the recent changes is greatly appreciated. As always, I'm active here, on the discord, and on most of the forums I know about, so let  me know if you have questions or concerns.
