Changes in the patreon formula

Hi guys!

Short version 

I'm going to change the amount of Pokemon released monthly from 8+ to 5-8.

Long version

As some of you may know, this is not my job, it's a small project I dedicate some of my free time to.

In recent months, I've been struggling a bit to keep up. As those who have been following me for a while may know, I've improved a lot compared to the first few months: things are more polished, with more details, more effects, the bases are more complex, etc.

This has led to an increase in the time required to model each object, and often I find myself rushing things, not having the opportunity to scrap a design and start from scratch if I come up with a better idea or if I don't like the result...

In other words, I don't want to be in a situation where I have to choose Pokemon like Voltorb and Electrode just to reach a minimum number of Pokemon to release.

I had planned to add one Pokemon every month to the new welcome pack to progress fairly quickly toward the 5-10 Pokémon, but I simply don't have the time to do it...

We're also approaching 40 subscribers, and I should prepare something nice for the 3-month loyalty pack... but I don't have the time to do it! I can't release a Metapod and call it a 'loyalty pack'. It would be a mockery for my subscribers. :(

For these reasons, I've decided to remove the numerical limit of 8+ Pokemon per month and leave it open (you can still expect something between 5 and 8, or even just 1 in case I decide to work on a large diorama with many Pokemon on it). I want to focus on quality rather than quantity, and I want to dedicate the right amount of time to even the less loved Pokémon, which often, with some attention, can become just as interesting as the classics. (and also hopefully get some time to replenish the welcome pack)

If that '8+' number was the sole reason you decided to subscribe/renew, I'm sorry, but this Patreon might not be the right fit for you anymore. You can stay, leave, hop in and out based on what you find interesting month by month... as always, the choice is yours :)

Thank you for your understanding and support!

P.S. I can already tell you that in the November release there will be 7 Pokemon, so you can get an idea of what to expect, given the rule change.
