As someone who is part of the Ranch Employee tier, all I can say is that I'm SUPER excited to be a part of this process (I probably got WAY too into designing a character, but hey, that's what I signed up for, right? ;p), and for anyone who comes across this game and has the funds--DO IT. Be a part of this amazing process, you won't be sorry! xD
(For real, if I had more money, I'd be seriously tempted to try for one of the top tier characters as well because if I'm this excited about designing a ranch employee, I'd probably actually DIE if I got the opportunity to design a major NPC. I'm still tempted regardless...uwu, curse my self-restraint and USD to CAD exchange rates! *shakes fist*)
