Hello, Shadow Portal Team here and the topic of our discussion will be Patreon. During the two years of our game's development we've updated the system of reward tiers many times, but the last big change was a long time ago, which we are about to fix now. In this case, we decided to take the existing system as a basis and only smooth out its corners, giving our patrons additional choices on how to support us, now everyone will find something to their liking, as well as new rewards that will not leave you indifferent. Introducing the new reward tiers!
This post includes:
- New polling system — how the new polling system is going to work and how it will influence our interactions with patrons.
- New update release rules - from now on, there will be less of a gap in release times for all the reward tiers.
- Three new tiers: Drone, Cerebrate, Xel'naga - these are to help you find a reward tier that best suits you.
- Updates to old tiers - goes hand in hand with the previous point.
As you all know, we currently have 5 reward tiers - from the Zergling to the Overmind. They have different bonuses and rewards, but they are all equal in the polls we sometimes conduct. In the new system each role will have a different vote weight, you can find out the details in the list below.
About the new update release rules.
As of right now, all Ghost-tier patrons get access to a new update two weeks before public release, Hydralisk-tier patrons a week before public release, and Zergling-tier patrons only a day before public release. That is about to change. In brief, all of our patrons will get access to the game earlier than they used to. Details are in the list below.
And lastly: three new tiers. The Drone tier will replace the current Zergling tier and will serve as the basic tier for anyone who supports us, Cerebrate will fit between Abathur and Overmind, and Xel'naga is going to be the ultimate tier, patrons of this tier able to gather the power of the Void itself (Note: does not actually give you the ability to gather the power of the Void), overtaking Overmind. And now, here's the list.
