Update to tiers
Hey guys,
as you might have noticed, I decided to update my subscriptions tiers. Basically I had way too many and it was super convoluted.
Overall, the new system should be much more transparent. Everyone should still have access to what they originally subscribed for and overall the prices for the same content are either the same, or cheaper.
I increased the price of the $20 tier to $25, but instead of 2 movies you get all of them in the archive and I also kept the old price for current patrons.
In the future I will be no longer using the cumulative pledge, the system was too convoluted and not very understandable. I will release the upcoming Lewdbox episode under the old rules, but will be deprecating the system after that.
Let me know if you have any questions. Also I will need to go through the previous posts and check for any issues, so if you run into some issues let me know in the DMs.
The tiers should be as follows:
$50 - access to special ultra quality versions of my major movies and name in credits ( I will ask in advance, I will only put in your name if agree)
$25 - access to archive of all my released works, including the major movies
$10 - access to the latest released movie and voting on upcoming characters in the future
$5 - access to the latest chunk of currently produced movie
$1 - general support and weekly WIP status updates
all tiers also get the benefits from the tiers below them.

Thanks for your work over the years, but it's time for me to bow out. Understand the need, but don't like the current system where your patron duration means nothing. Best of luck!
I am sorry to see any of my patrons go, long term or not. I tried to make the new system as fair as possible, you can still see all of the footage with $5 pledge, but the cumulative pledge was just too convoluted. But I understand it's a downgrade for you.
I have a question about the special ultra quality releases. Are you going back to older movies, or is this just for new movies now? I always thought your releases were already at the best quality available. Was I just missing out?
I am going back to those where I still have the source files available. I am going back through these and re-encoding them in higher color depth and blu-ray level bitrate. This reduces artifacts to virtually zero and greatly reduces color banding. These releases previously did not exist as I considered them way too large to share, but I figured they could be a nice perk for those interested.
So after Lewdbox, the $5 tier will no longer have access to the completed movies? I am not complaining, just want to clarify. And I agree, the old system was a bit cumbersome.
You can still download every released part of the movie and watch it that way, just not the 'joined' version.
