[IMPORTANT] Update to Patreon memberships


[TL;DR]: Cheaper memberships and new release schedule, make sure to either cancel or switch to be charged less in the next billing cycle.

I mentioned this in yesterday's blog post, I was going to make these changes next week but I'm going to go ahead and do it now in case anyone else subscribes between then and now.

I'm going to make the following changes to the Patreon page:

- There's going to be only two tiers now, priced at $1 and $3 respectively
- The latter will give you access to the game a week early (this will not affect next Monday's update or a potential Thursday update either, it will come into effect for 0.5.0 onwards)

I've come to understand that there wasn't enough incentives for people to support development other than liking the game, and that there wasn't enough difference between tiers to justify the pricing.
Also, there's the fact that 5 bucks is a bit too much for a game this early in development. I priced it that way due to how Patreon cuts and general taxing works, but I don't think that's an issue that justifies it now.

The game will continue to be free, of course, with the only difference being a change in release schedules to provide early access to $3 supporters. I'm going to try my best at coming up with further benefits, but hopefully this will be enough for now, alongside the price cut.

And obviously, this also comes from the fact that I need to justify the amount of hours I'm pouring on development, I really like working on this thing and I want to keep this pace in terms of the amount of content being dropped, or even improve it if there's enough support for me to drop some IRL work and focus on this instead.

There's also hopes that I can hire an artist, UI designer, and composer in the future to truly tie things together the way I want to. As for current supporters, please make sure to move to one of the new tiers before your next billing cycle, it won't charge you right away and you'll save a few bucks if you do it before then.

Really hope this doesn't come off as too greedy, or the new schedule too harsh. Even with zero supporters I want to push this game as far as it can go, so regardless of your involvement I hope you enjoy what's coming down the line.

That's enough rambling I believe, not much else to say except thanks for sticking around so far!
