The Patreon Rework
Added 2020-02-10 14:51:41 +0000 UTCAs many of you gave this response, I feel the advice is valid and will take it going onward.
As mentioned in my last post, I posited that I may need to close my Patreon because I have a lot of IRL work keeping my time-constrained, but by far the biggest response I received was to rework it to a "tip jar" of sorts.
Since I still have a lot of exclusives, the current comic, and other things on here, and nowhere else, I was wondering what to do about that, I didn't want the people who paid for that exclusive content to feel cheapened, or to be unable to access it after closure, and I spent the last few days mulling over what I should do about that.
Given all that, let me describe the changes I've made:
- I will not be able to commit to an exact number of uploads and type of content like before, as suggested, this will be a "tip jar" type of deal, where you may support if you want to, and you will get some boons for that support.
- Polls no longer exist, I'm sorry but I cannot guarantee I will be able to commit to that, so please if you are only interested in that, please delete or lower your tier now.
- Commission discounts are something I can no longer organize, primarily due to how I am not having permanent open commissions due to my work.
Reworks:
- Chao Tier: A tip jar of sorts, you'll still have access to early and watermark-free artwork.
- Hero Tier: If you still want to support for a little extra, this tier will now include all Chao bonuses, and any image series will be here watermark-free, and in future, these will be exclusive to here.
- Dark Tier: Chao & Hero bonuses, plus all comics past and future. This is again, operating as a tip-jar with bonuses. I will not be able to work on comics like a web-comic, and instead of serialization, I will drop all pages of future comics at once. The future comics will be exclusive to Dark and not posted anywhere else, as a plus to how sporadic the uploading of those would be. The previous comic, however, was still offered to the public when advertised, so I feel obligated to do so, however, I will only share that comic to lower tiers and public (which will be watermarked), once a new comic exists to even that out.
