I'm a newbie and I'm just looking for a way to achieve balance, where patrons get something for being patrons, and at the same time free players are not disadvantaged in the content that I want to show. Paid scenes are an attempt to maintain such a balance. Additional scenes expand the world of the game, but you can do without them to complete the game and enjoy it.
I'm ready to think about other ways, please suggest, maybe we will find a better way.
