Have you ever wanted to give me more money? What? No? Oh. Well, have you ever wanted to see sneak peeks of upcoming releases, or cut content, or dissections of past work, or Q&As both in- and out-of-character, or other kinds of behind-the-scenes miscellanea? Have you ever wanted to play little interactive mini stories?
Well, today I’m launching the sonnet009games Patreon! It’s only one tier, at £4/month, and that grants you access to everything on offer, including access to polls to vote on future posts.
1st Sunday of the month: Sneak peek!
2nd Sunday of the month: Vote on next BTS!
3rd Sunday of the month: BTS!
4th Sunday of the month: Q&A chat!
For longer months we’ll rotate in an interactive mini story, released on the 5th Sunday of the month!
We’re launching today with a sneak peek, a BTS, and an Incubus interactive mini extra already available!
It’s hard out here, making a living! I try to keep my games as affordable as possible and always skew toward under-charging when in doubt—I know we’re all struggling! But it does mean splitting my time between game development and a more traditional 9-to-5 to keep me afloat. Plus, as adult-themed games become more contentious, my ability to reach new players diminishes more and more.
A Patreon might just help relieve the financial burden a little, giving me more time to devote to game development and maybe even the ability to do some currently prohibitively expensive things, like invest in multi-platform releases and things like that. That’s the dream.
I also finally have a good idea of something I could offer in return that people might actually be interested in!
What will a Patreon change about this blog?
Absolutely nothing! My inbox is still open and I’ll still be posting all the things I normally do. There is no early access to games or advance notification of upcoming releases. The Patreon is purely additional, if you’d like to throw me some extra support and/or if you’re interested in any of the exclusive content on offer.
In fact, you'll even be getting a little extra over here on tumblr, since I'll be sharing the best parts of the Q&As here afterward!
So, basically, if you are financially able and interested in supporting sonnet009games as it endures and grows, that would be something truly amazing and I don’t have the words to tell you what it’d mean to me! And if you can’t or don’t want to, I totally understand! I love all of you for just being here; for buying and playing my games; for sharing your thoughts and theories; for asking questions and making fanworks and, really, just spending even a moment thinking about these worlds and characters that I’m so excited to share with you. <3 Thank you!
