Patreon: Milestone Goals
#21
I still think it's not a good idea. There's nothing solid for us to strive for and that's what Patreon goals are. Goals are meant for us, not patrons. You can say, for example, that if you reach $100 you might buy professional graphics tablet so you can work better, or for $500 you can work full-time on your game instead of having other kind of job. Patrons don't have to care about that, it's just a small encouragement and it only works when they trust you. Patrons would be more interested in rewards. Patrons are very often offered something exclusive, something other fans don't get. But we can't actually promise anything. There are months of almost complete inactivity and there are months when we do ton of stuff. It's unpredictable. What could we promise anyway, quicker access to developer builds? HD textures? A letter from Epsitec CEO?

The only serious milestone we can put there is covering maintenance cost for better server and that's still something we should discuss before putting it as actual milestone. Everything else is childish and unprofessional. People won't take us seriously.
