MONTHLY NEWS: TIERS and EARLY ACCESS

This is probably the second most important “MONTHLY NEWS” i have ever done.
Over the past months, many people suggested that i try new tiers and the famous “Early access” method for my Sparking! Zero mods. I have never tried Early access and i'm not sure if it's a good idea for my goal, but i already tried tiers for Xenoverse 2 and i've never really been a fan of them. However, today i'm here to announce that i will be happy to try tiers again and try the Early access method.
I would like to explain how i'll set the tiers first, as one of it will come today:
1) Ports (€30): As the name says, this will include all my ports that do not contain any custom animation made by me.
2) Custom animation (€50): As the name says, this will include all my custom-made animations. This tier will also include ports that have animations made by me inside.

I would like to use the tiers alongside the Shop, and my current plan is to release the mods over the shop weekly (as i'm already doing) and add them to the tiers a month later. Due to this, the mods that i will add to the Shop will have their prices reduced, so you can decide whether to buy the tier or get the single mod via the Shop.

I will now explain the Early access. I already announced two skills that will be part of this test (i announced them on my socials) and will currently follow two different types of Early access:
First type: Normal early access. This is exactly how early access is meant to be:
the mod will become free after a period of time. One of the two skills i announced will be part of this, and will become free after two months.
Second type: Alternative early access: In this version, my community (Patreon community) helps others get the mod. In short, the content under this type won't become free after a period of time, but after a sales goal is reached. The second skill will be part of this type.

The cost of each skill, in each type, will vary, as well as the goal for the second type. All this will be based on my existing mods on the Shop and this test result, which will serve as a reference for the future.
Two skills aren't enough for a test, same goes for tiers, so i will add a few more and see how it goes each month. I currently don't plan to add “early access” for tiers (or to the content of the tiers), so early access will be a test on its own via Shop only for now.

Whether you like what i'm going to say now or not, i have the urge to say it:
If you are here only to get the stuff for free at a later date, then i guess the test will be a failure and i will stop doing early access. I'm actually quite positive the early access will go well, both of them actually, but i thought it was important to mention that if people only download the stuff once it's free then it will be quite a problem for me.

Said so, today there will be the first skill with the first tier (i will skip the Shop part for tiers only this time), so be ready for it. The early access skills will come later this month.

Hope people are happy with this direction. See you soon.
