I only agree with just having another tier to let people know that Fujino might need more money. So I would see it as me donating/investing because I'm happy of what they do. But I kind of agree with kinglion, that I don't want any extra release thing attached to a higher tier. It alienates people, and that's not really a good thing.

If you're suggesting this idea because you're making an assumption that more income would allow Fujino to not work their day job, then I don't know. Usually for patreon, shouldn't you create a total monthly income goal/progress bar to indicate this? Like if he can achieve x amount from monthly payments then he'll be able to quit his job kind of situation. But also I don't know if Fujino is allowed to quit their job even if they have a lot of extra income. I don't know anything about Japan, but I wouldn't be surprised if Fujino has some extra issues or problems to deal with by moving to Japan from China. Like if Fujino needs to keep a job to have access to a green card to stay there, then it is what it is, and there's not much to be done about it?
Fair enough points. The monthly income goal would be awesome to have, but I don't think he'll do one soon. Maybe he could outsource more "mundane" tasks, like mapping or side character writing that are not that important for the main story, but still nice to have. But thats just me yapping in the hopes for more content in the future lmao.

I personally don't really agree with the "alienating" point, bc it's only logical for me for people that pay more should receive some benefits. I get your reasoning behind it, but I personally don't agree with it, but thats fair. Fact is a time benefit would have the least amount of influx on the game directly, with still having some sort of benefit for the higher paying members. I'm not for content or something behind a higher member wall, that would be stupid, its just about the time aspect of release.

Polls are always a bit critical and have too much influx directly into the game, so I'm not a big fan of those.

Time gating is a punishment not reward. The game/update is ready to go and can be released to everyone at the same time. But you are purposely holding back to the lower paying tiers. The higher tier is only "rewarded" because the lower tiers are being punished. It is also quite alienating because playing the game at different times causes a lot of issues with people not being to discuss together. Imagine someone here got the update before anyone else, they can wait until everyone gets the update to avoid spoilers or be a dick by spoiling everything.

Polls are fine as long as they don't affect anything important. For example a poll to vote on what costume a character should wear. The ability to affect something insignificant in the game would be a worthwhile reward for higher tier subscribers.

Patreon rewards are always a difficult thing to ponder about for most people, in all sorts of mediums not only for game creators.
I don't personally like the idea of an early release date, not because of some sort of injustice towards smaller patreons, but because it would be easily circumvented by a leaker.

If I had to chose any possible rewards for higher patreons, it would be a monthly release for every patron, a small animation like it was the case for those extra scenes that Sekai Translations included in their patch, and pictures with Inoda's blog style writting to accompany them of non-canon or bonus content.

All that decided for by a poll the previous month with low tier donors (5 dollars) having 1 vote and high tier donors (10 dollars) having 5 votes.

An example of that, it would be like seeing Asuna drink the cum latte that Inoda delivered to her or something like that.

It's always on Monday, unless Fujino says otherwise. This upcoming update is focusing on the in-game weekend.
Yeah but i saw a lot of people mentioning "tomorrow" so i was wondering if there was a announcement i missed? Probably just the usual people trying to rush it.

When I saw this this I started to think that today was Sunday for some reason, and that I had totally blanked out during Saturday.

It's always on Monday, unless Fujino says otherwise. This upcoming update is focusing on the in-game weekend.
Anyway, tomorrowv(on monday) we will get the last update report of the month and perhaps we will get the update as well.

If I had to bet, either the update comes out perhaps this wendesday. Fujino didn't even mention anything about the translation on the last report, and he usually is already started on them by the third week of the month, so I feel like he might be a bit behind this time.

Anyways, on Monday we will get confirmation of the release date.
(We might also get the bonus, mystery mini game with the update.)

Yeah I have no clue why people are saying that. We still got like another 29 - 32 hours to go from now.

Also, reminder that there could still be a delay depending on Fujino's situation and the update may still take one day more or so, so yeah.
Well I meant 29 - 32 hours for the monday update. Didn't mean the game would come out by then. The latest it'll come out will probably be 24 - 34 hours after the next update unless some kind of problem comes up. Since it feels like Fujino wants to release an update before the next month. So a maximum amount of time to expect would probably be 66 hours for the next game update. If a problem comes up, then it'll just be delayed to who knows how long.

ALL THE YES on the last mention here. That would be great. Two of them. One the first time, then later on in her corruption, a full scene where Inoda doses her coffee right in front of Asuna, making her realize and accept why the cum-latte tastes so good. Could open up a hole new fetish...

As for the whole teirs, eh. Having more say for the greater money would be my choice. Unless you're talking about something built into the came when you talk about small animations? I know in Renpy you can lock certain scenes behind passwords. Is that doable in RPG maker?
