Two New Reward Tiers (Patreon)
Content
We're adding two more reward tiers for $50.00 and $100.00 patrons.
The $50 tier for items, limited to 15 patrons. Each month these patrons will submit an idea (or ideas) for an item, from which we'll select one of (if they gave us mulitple ideas) and make the art for it as an eventual item in the game.
The $100 tier for NPCs. limited to 5 patrons. Each month they will be allowed to submit a character concept, along with a set of up to 5 lines for that character, and ideas for where the character would appear in the game. The character will get front and back sprites, and a name plate, but no animations or full portrait, nor quest/event stuff beyond their appearance semi-randomly in the game world.
--->Edit: NPCs may also be wandering merchants, allowing you to decide what type of products they sell. If you previously or subsequently invest in the $50.00 tier, then you can even design their full stock over time.
In both cases, we reserve the right to turn down submissions we feel do not fit into the world of Cloud Meadow or whose inclusion would hurt the game, and there will be no refunds, so please keep that in mind. That said, just because a submission was turned down doesn't mean we wouldn't be willing to work with the patron either to make their submission fit, or accept submissions from them until they have one we can both agree on.
So there you have it, a further way for our fans and patrons to contribute to the outcome of our product.
It is important though that I reiterate a point. Submissions will not always be taken as initially presented. If you toss us a character concept that's a pair of walking boobs with a face, we're probably going to turn it down, and you won't get a refund for it if you refuse to make a character submission everyone can live with!
Changes the submission rules slightly, you need to make sure to tell us your patreon user name as well when making the submission so that we can tick it off properly from the new benefits list.
