Patron Files Access

Haha I dont know about perfection, but I am much happier with where I got the lighting to in the final version than where it was before I took it back a few steps. Hope you enjoy it!

Hey mate, yeh there's another map on the way, I've been doing a bit of a rework over the lighting for it as there were some elements I wasn't quite happy with but it's all fixed up and should be in the inboxes in the next 10 hours or so

Thanks for making the silver monthly cheaper!

It's definitely something I considered but haven't implemented yet as it removes the flexibility to turn off payments for a month if something comes up. If it's something that a bunch of people would like I am happy to look into it again though.

Have you considered a yearly upfront option?

Correct, the previous silver tier was $3 per creation, which added up to $12 across the month, the new is just a flat $9 for a month. If you were on the old silver you still have access to the files currently as I want to give everyone fair time to switch across to the new system, but I'll have to discontinue those in a month or so. As the thank you to everyone though I've got the discounted rate of $9 available on the silver which will be available for a month or so, but the discount will stick around after the offer ends.

Just so I understand, the animated maps are now locked behind the $9 tier instead of the previous $3 tier?

Thanks for the suggestion Jegasus! That sounds like a good idea! I think the zips within zips is happening when batch downloading from Google Drive. The initial zipping doesn't actually save any significant file space, it was mostly a legacy process from uploading files to patreon to make it easier to download. As Google Drive allows for downloading all files in a folder in one click I can just upload unzipped folders and it should be just as easy for everyone to grab whatever they want!

Hi there! Thanks for making things easier for us!!! If there's one more thing I could ask for/suggest, it would be to avoid putting zipfiles inside zipfiles. It just makes unpacking the data a bit of a chore. One way to avoid this would be to just have one big zip file for each map release's COPPER and SILVER versions, and inside those zip files, everything was already extracted maintaining the same folder structure you use now. Just a minor comment, really. The stuff you make is amazing and I'm a huge fan <3 Keep up the amazing work!!!
