Update: Our Patreon Schedule!
Added 2018-07-01 20:46:24 +0000 UTCWe've brought this up in several updates now. At last, it's time to stop teasing all of you and commit to an actual schedule for our patreon posts! No more random pings 20 minutes before the think tank begins, no 3am daily updates, no more missed sneak peeks because we posted them in the dead of the night.
It can be very difficult to adhere to a regular schedule with these things when the nature of the show is so very cerebral and nebulous and artistic. Very hard to put deadlines on those things and still create something of quality. But, with some thought, we've figured out that there are at least a few things we can do in a predictable fashion for you guys:
The New Schedule
We will be posting these times in a more official place soon, but for now, this is how we plan to begin doing things (all of the following times are UTC-5 — click here to compare your timezone with ours!):
- Daily Updates [Weekdays, 1:00pm-5:00pm]: Chloe and I will now be posting daily updates about the prior day's activities within the bracket of 1:00pm-5:00pm. This should make them a little more convenient for everyone, including us. It's proven to be a hassle to come to the computer at night and manufacture something worthy through the foggy aftermath of a hard day's work. I've actually fallen asleep while writing dailies before. We can do better than that.
- Sneak Peeks [Mondays+Fridays, 1:00pm-5:00pm]: We have enough material on the burner at all times that it shouldn't be a problem to schedule when we spoil things to you. This doesn't necessarily mean that we'll only spoil things on those days, but you can at the very least expect us to have something lovely for you on Mondays and Fridays going forward!
- Think Tanks [Fridays, Bi-Weekly, 6:30pm]: From now on we'll be hosting an audio think tank session every other week on our Discord server! Depending on how things go, this is something we could possibly move up to weekly. We'll see! For now we're just looking forward to an end to the sudden, blind-siding announcements for the think tanks we've hosted in the past. The first audio session was a blast, and we're really looking forward to doing with you guys on the regular!
These changes will begin immediately! So expect a sneak peek and a daily update very soon after this!
Thanks for all of your incredible patience leading up to this. Hopefully this'll help the feed feel a little more lively and organized. I'm definitely looking forward to it!
