Thankful Unlmited
Greetings everyone and welcome to the month of thanks! With Thanksgiving on the way, we want to share our commitment with the amazing community we have. We're keeping all of you in the loop as a show of thanks for everyone at GG so let's jump into it!
The recent Gotham update was decently received. We have been discussing the direction for "SU" in 2024 and will have announcements in this next cycle. The December release will focus on bug fixes and setting up "SU" for additional content in 2024. Not wanting to be caught of guard, the bridge we build now will easily be crossed when the time comes.
Android
The next significant update for the Android version will happen at the end of November. We're currently testing and it's the largest update on Android since that initial release. We're excited to bring Android users closer to the PC version and that time is drawing closer month-by-month.
Stand-alones
The first stand-alone has been scheduled for a Q1 release in 2024, and will be the Themyscira event. We aim to create a product that doesn't require GB's to download and has all the great SU elements you enjoy. The goal of these is to complete a grand event entirely, all by itself. Additionally we will include scene voting commencing December for the Universe Trainer tier ($20.00).
Platform
We have made some significant changes to our on boarding process. You all will see changes to banners, and about pages happening in the next month. This will all be designed to help you find the relevant rewards quickly without scrolling.
We have also implemented an "as promised" system so if you cancel or decrease your pledge during the month, you will receive all the relevant rewards promised if we deliver them late. For instance, the October Gotham update, even though the build was one day late, we sent out an email to 3400+ patrons with links to the file for October. We know you trust us with your money so we will honor that.
The New Standard
For 8 years, we have been exclusively funded via Patreon. That changes now in November. We will be launching alternative options like Subscribestar which will relaunch and be actively updated for anyone who doesn't want to/cannot use Patreon.
Additionally, "SU" is on itch.io as well. Simply paying for a single update and not have to worry about Patreon will be a new option. Pricing is $6.00 which we determined via internal $/patron metrics. So if you subscribe via Patreon know your $'s spent are equal to those off Patreon.

That Gotham update was fire
You're 100% correct. I never figured out the outfits that were in the patch notes, but I loved it as much as the yacht event release.
I am very happy with the idea of buying ITCH.io releases as long as the censoring and versioning issues are able to be resolved. It would be nice to get off Patreon, but SubscribeStar doesn't do annuals…
Are we ever going to see more on bend or brake two or is that not till way later
It's on the radar currently and we're aiming for a Q4 '24, or Q1 '25 release. Our focus is the stand alone content currently as that will help create the time needed to get BoB2 completed.
yah what is scene voting and why is is only for Universe Trainer tier?
We have been looking at adding value to tiers since July. We first went and added value to the $1.00 and $10.00 tiers. Now we will look to add value at the $20.00 tier (as there is zero reward for that tier currently).
What does "Scene Voting" mean? Will you be doing some sort of poll on characters that you are thinking of creating new scenes for or something?
I agree more info is needed on this
Ty for the update.
