New Tier, Changes to Old Tiers, Lotsa Stuff
Added 2021-11-01 00:50:18 +0000 UTCBeen a while since we've made a proper announcement, eh?
When this Patreon began in May of 2019, it was just two perverts with a dream. Stoker, to get his fantasy fetish grab bag comedy adventure story out to the masses, and Jonas, to draw cute perky tits for a living. Never could these two, so young and wide eyed and innocent, have dreamed that just around the corner was a pandemic and multiple other global crises. Nor could they have dreamed that their duo would expand into a small team, incorporating pencilers, background artists, flat colorists, and more. Life comes at you fast, doesn't it?
But we bring this up because a number of people have noticed that we have surpassed some of our original milestone goals. One for monthly patron requests, another for multiple weekly updates. The former actually slipped by without us even noticing, if you can believe it, and the latter...well, that one was broken recently. Let us address the second one first.
When we set that original milestone, $1500 per month seemed almost impossible to make, and splitting it between two people seemed like a reasonable payoff for the amount of work it would entail. Of course, while $1500 seems like a lot every month for one person, maybe even two, it disappears very quickly when it's divided four to six ways. Our team is already working for less than they should be, and this isn't the primary source of income for any of us, so we're having to do this in what free time we have. So we have had to make the painful decision to walk this goal back. It is hard enough to guarantee once a week updates (we have, in fact, not been able to do so this past month) without being able to ramp things up to twice weekly. At least...not yet. Someday we still hope to hit that goal, but we shall definitely have to make some adjustments to our expectations to keep things reasonable (Unless we get a millionaire/billionaire mega sugar daddy patron. If you are or know any millionaires and/or billionaires we are currently accepting applications.)
We don't, however, want to leave this milestone COMPLETELY unremarked upon, so beginning tomorrow, the following tier changes will take effect:
$1 tip jar: no changes
$2 pledges: a look at the comic one page ahead of the general public AND an advance look at all pinups
$5 pledges: a look at the comic TWO pages ahead (as available) of the general public, and higher res pinups
$10 pledges: pinup suggestion polls, wallpapers, all that good stuff
$25 pledges: the highest resolution versions of our wallpapers, rough thumbnail previews of upcoming comic pages, hi-res comic page downloads (an overdue reward, we are working on a storage solution for hi-res pages)
And now for the BIG exciting announcement: the new $50 tier!
$50: MONTHLY request drawings! Limited to ten slots, guidelines will be posted when the tier opens up. If any of you have participated in Jonas' "Pennython" sketch streams in the past, you know what to expect
We hope you like the new changes! We're very excited about what's coming ahead for Penny and the gang. Thank you for your support and your love, and we wish all of you a very happy Halloween

I'm not sure! But my largest charge seems to be from last May, so probably then.

Team Penny
2021-11-01 05:26:00 +0000 UTCWhen did you make your annual pledge?
Team Penny
2021-11-01 05:25:46 +0000 UTCSomeone make a top tier to jump the story a bit lol I need to see that collar in action π

2021-11-01 03:09:00 +0000 UTCI don't think I can manually change your pledge. I see though that you're pledging in Canadian dollars. Maybe the difference is the exchange rate?
Team Penny
2021-11-01 02:49:55 +0000 UTCI did not. Been a $3 pledge for a while now. I don't see at $2 level only a $1.50 Put me in the $2 if you can :)

2021-11-01 02:46:16 +0000 UTCWe'll make an announcement when we're getting ready to open them! Maybe we'll wait until the evening so that everybody has a chance
Team Penny
2021-11-01 02:33:35 +0000 UTCSometimes monthly DOES work out better!
Team Penny
2021-11-01 02:33:04 +0000 UTCThere shouldn't be a $3 tier now actually o.o Did you do a custom pledge?
Team Penny
2021-11-01 02:32:46 +0000 UTCSounds exciting! I hope I'm fast enough to snag one of those new spots!

Jonathan
2021-11-01 01:52:43 +0000 UTCI've wanted to switch to $5 a month for a while, so this is welcome change! I'm currently at $50 a year, but monthly fits my budget better now.

2021-11-01 01:50:43 +0000 UTCSo right now I'm at a $3 tier, there will be no $3 tier tomorrow, will I be moved down to $2 or will it still be $3 and just be considered an extra tip or will the $3 move up to $5 automatically?

2021-11-01 01:27:13 +0000 UTCIs that what it is? I had no idea that ideas were so sticky and white...

2021-11-01 01:20:09 +0000 UTCDon't worry, I'm sure the tier lineup will change a few times and you'll get your chance!
Team Penny

Team Penny

Team Penny
2021-11-01 01:11:13 +0000 UTCFair! But we can also help brainstorm on occasion. Stoker is always full of ideas, the pervert
Team Penny

2021-11-01 01:10:22 +0000 UTCGot a ticket for tonight's Megamillions drawing, I'll let you know if you have that sugar daddy in the morning :P
Eddie SanHusky
2021-11-01 01:09:16 +0000 UTCAlright... but I'm gonna be hard pressed to come up with ideas every month....
Bryant Holmes
2021-11-01 01:06:24 +0000 UTCNah we're kidding. Don't strain your budget! X)
Team Penny
2021-11-01 01:05:49 +0000 UTCThat option is not currently available, but who's to say what the future holds?
Team Penny
2021-11-01 01:05:37 +0000 UTCI could skip lunch for a few weeks
Gold King
2021-11-01 01:03:51 +0000 UTCCan we save up our monthly drawings to get say... bigger drawings every few months? (Obviously I haven't seen the conditions yet)
Bryant Holmes
2021-11-01 01:02:39 +0000 UTCI mean do you REALLY need food?
Team Penny
2021-11-01 00:58:58 +0000 UTC"Monthly Request Drawings"... I guess I can find some room in my budget, by force if I must.
