New Tiers - UPDATE (Patreon)

Hi all.

I need to write this post regarding the new single tier I'll implement starting next month (February 1st)

I said it will be a single 4 $ tier, but it'll probably be a 5 $ one and I want to explain why.

First of all: if you pay 5, I won't receive 5. The amount you pay (whatever amount) it's going to be cut. A percentage goes to Patreon (this isn't a free platform for us creators) and for taxes, and that's why every tier under 5 $ isn't really sustainable long term.

This is something I always knew, but I didn't want to ask for too much too soon, I wanted to build a little community first and see if people actually liked my stuff.

It's been five years since I started, and I want to be completely honest with you: this money helps me A LOT. I need the little money I make on here to pay for stuff I need (healthcare wise) and not weight too much on my family.

You helped me pay for therapy through the last few years, you montly help me pay some personal bills (like my phone) and a few medical bills (thankfully we have free healthcare, but it isn't like...completely free, we still have to pay a little bit for lab exams and such).

I'm not saying this for sympathy, I'm saying this because I want to be transparent with you. And I'm not even saying it in hopes you feel bad for me and pay, I said it a billion times and I'll say it a billion more: free members are always welcome here.
I'll never permanently paywall anything, because I really want people to be able to download my stuff at some point, even if they aren't able to pay for it.

So...I'll try the single 5$ tier, starting February 1st.

DON'T WORRY: I'll still keep current members at 3$ as I promised, the change will only effect new members subscribing in February.  

I'll have a new somewhat fixed schedule, releasing something every week (four new cc a month or three new cc + a build).

I hope you'll keep supporting me in any way you can, even with just being here and enjoying my creations.
