Don't expect a quick upload. Mr Technician is gone, Buddha is gone, and I am no longer subbed to them.
Hi Rsunet, all guys and galls also! Well it was long time no update from me. But i have decided to visit this thread anyway. Well i have got a bad news for ya all, sadly. I have decided not to be a patreon of this game. There are no reasons but only my own. I just don't feel this game anymore and pretty much got bored already with it.
So shortly to say i'm not gonna post shared updates of new versions here. Those of you who view this forum on a PC - can view my signature - and those are the games i currently play and support authors on patreon.
Anyways, i think that you need to find somebody new - who will be able to share updates with community here.

No worries! I wasn't pressuring you, just telling people what likely happened, and it seems I was right. You didn't even need to explain! But thanks.

I will probably be a patron again eventually, but only when I can muster up the energy to once again work around their bullshit.

Sad to hear that is the case. That doesn't bode well for the longevity of this game. Once their number of patrons stagnate and they keep banning or overcharging more and more people, over time they will find there isn't anyone to support them.

Is this really what they do? Literally banning people that want to give them money because they didn't give them enough?

That's not even greedy it's just plain retarded
Yes. This is what they do. It's happened to me multiple times now so I've given up.

Thanks to the guy who uploaded, by the way. Appreciate 'cha.
Hey all, someone just sent me a message asking if this was true, so I'm making an account here just to clarify some things.

It would indeed be very stupid to block people for "not giving us enough", which, among other reasons, is why we absolutely do not do that. We don't care how many updates someone supports or if their pledge is declined. We only remove old pledges that have been abandoned (several months declined) so we can keep an accurate patron count, and even then, you can repledge, as we only remove those pledges; we don't block the patron.

If you believe that you were banned for this "reason", you are mistaken. I don't doubt that you were banned, but please don't start ridiculous unsubstantiated rumors.

Edit: it was a misunderstanding after all.

Majalis_ToA Have you changed or would you consider changing your Patreon tiers to give a more accurate monthly value? I signed up a while ago for (I think) $3 or $5 dollars, but got a surprise when I got billed far more than that (I think it was over 5 times my pledge). If I could do a flat $10-$15 rate or something I'd appreciate that.

You can set a monthly maximum to whatever you want; we do four paid updates a month (which is legacy - from before we were making ToA). There's no way in Patreon's settings to specify how many paid updates there when someone is pledging, so we just have that info on our front page. We plan to move to a monthly model eventually to reduce confusion and because it seems to be Patreon's preferred model (a lot of features are unavailable if you don't use the monthly model). We originally did a per-update model because we weren't full time, and our updates were just art and stories. Then an early goal milestone was our guarantee to do four updates a month. If you contact us on Patreon we also refund people who were caught off guard, or really for any reason.

Majalis_ToA So looking at the Patreon, if for example I pledge to the Dragon Tier ($10), then set it at 1 time a month, what am I getting? It's unclear. Am I getting the monthly update? Because I will support that.

You're getting everything from Dragon Tier (which includes the lower tier rewards), with the exception of the voting power of someone in Dragon tier for the surveys. That's the only thing we adjust based on # of update, and it's more just that we use something that checks actual paid amounts in the script that calculates the votes. In general, we'd actually rather someone get a higher tier and pledge for fewer updates than the reverse, because eventually we want to migrate to monthly, which is the equivalent of one update/month (nothing would change about the game's delivery or anything else about the Patreon's content, really - we would still have weekly and monthly builds.)
