We have a winner!
I'm really happy and excited with this one- ever since I came up with Benjamin Bill, I've really been pumped to see us bring him to life. You guys have decided that Benjamin will be the next male Starlet we work on, with Dan Dong coming in July!
Meanwhile, the next preview build will need to wait until early June. Due to various real world events going on right now- assets have been delayed and many of us are volunteering our time and resources to show solidarity with the protests happening in the United States.
Which, if you would like to contribute as well, please check out the Minnesota Freedom Fund. https://minnesotafreedomfund.org/donate
Your donations will go towards helping pay the bail of protesters who have been arrested, as well as others who are suffering from the American incarceration system.
Additionally, there are some changes coming to Patreon itself- on July 1st (not June 1st, so this is still about a month away), Patreon will be adding sales tax to all applicable pledges on Patreon, which will mean in most situations, the amount you pay for your pledge will be increasing slightly. First and foremost, I want to be extremely clear that this is NOT Patreon's decision - this is a Government-mandated change, not something Patreon is choosing to do. All of the sales tax goes immediately to the Government, and Patreon has no choice in whether or not they implement it. People are often quick to jump on the hate bandwagon when Patreon makes changes like this, so I want to be as clear as possible that it's not their decision, and quitting Patreon/no longer supporting creators on here will not make Patreon reverse the changes, because this new sales tax is legally required and they have no say in the matter.
Granted- if the increased fees from the sales taxes means you guys need to lower your pledge, take a break, or stop supporting us- no hard feelings, do what you have to do.
So yeah a lot of stuff happening at the end of this month. The regularly scheduled content updates will be coming soon, but for the meantime we appreciate your patience during these changes and these trying times.
