After some self-reflection, I've decided that a tiered rewards system doesn't align with my goals and ideals, and that physical rewards are unrealistic and impractical given my current capabilities and situation. 

As a result, all patrons will henceforth get exactly the same rewards/promises regardless of the size of their pledge, and this account will be geared towards potential patrons who are primarily interested in helping me survive and keep making stuff.

The rewards are as follows:

- All patrons will receive exclusive access to updates on my creative exploits. This is essentially a very occasional newsletter that I periodically send via Patreon. Generally, I only send one out when I have a new project up, when I have some cool announcements to make, or when I'm simply itching to talk about something exciting that I've recently started to work on.

- If you're a patron, follow me on twitter (@Aleks_S) and let me know. I will follow you back, and you can DM me any time to weigh in on my work, share your thoughts and ideas, or just chat. I'm pretty friendly. Ultimately, my work is what it is, but I am always happy to hear from the folks who follow it, so long as they are nice about it.

- All patrons will receive digital copies of any commercial projects that I self-publish (assuming digital copies are viable), at no cost. Additionally, patrons may sometimes receive early copies / demos / ashcans of both commercial and non-commercial work. 

- Of course, all patrons will have my gratitude. I recognize that supporting this account doesn't really net you very much in the way of material rewards, and I understand that folks who choose to support me on here do so because they sincerely and genuinely want to support me as a creator and help me survive as one. I appreciate this immensely.
