Haha, I was really hesitant with that reward for that reason ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚

That makes a lot of sense! And sounds like a really good idea actually. Thank you for the suggestion! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

We're almost definitely going to go with that honestly because it quite neatly solves the issue with the DLC and is a good, non-physical reward that I hadn't considered. Thank you again ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Thinking more about the "default partners" thing:

On the one hand, I certainly feel that romanceable characters should be allowed their own lives and agency outside of their interactions with the MC, and this can include having their own romantic interactions with other characters if they're not being romanced by the MC.

On the other hand, this is what it feels like the Tommy/Ellis relationship already is, and it would feel very weird if they both just ended up dating other people at the end despite having a far more compelling relationship with each other.

On the... third(?) hand, people paying you large sums of money to help you fund the game is definitely a good thing, so I don't want to say you shouldn't do it... ๐Ÿ˜…

So, I guess I can see arguments both ways. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Yeah, it's definitely something that I've been torn about, because if it's included, it will be challenging to get it to  feel as organic and natural in the game compared to them dating a character they have a pre-established relationship with, or no one at all. 

But the money for those tiers would really help towards funding the game. 

I guess I'll see how it goes ^^

It might be that I think I don't need those tiers to get the game funded, or it might be that nobody picks them anyway ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜…

What if you have it so that Tommy and Ellis would end up together if you romance someone else entirely, but if you romance just Tommy, there's a default partner for Ellis, and if you romance just Ellis, there's a default one for Tommy?

That might be a good way to handle it actually :D

I'd have to make sure people were aware of that when buying the tier, and that it was equal to the others (or offer it slightly discounted maybe), but that would make a lot of sense :) 

Thank you for your suggestion :D
