Okay, now it's my new goal. I want to see what colour Ugly ends up being.

2015-04-01 02:18:54 +0000 UTCHmm, a Yearly Patreon Song would be fun, and give us a chance to highlight our more consistent Encounterers. Anybody who's still watching by the end of the year definitely deserves to see themselves in a musical. :P We'll look into something like that!

2015-03-31 03:49:10 +0000 UTCNo, I have to look it up! We met the puppetress (?) at the dealer hall of a convention and got her card. I'm not sure she even knew what we were doing with them still. :P I'll be sure to add a link to her shop when the video goes up!

2015-03-31 03:48:16 +0000 UTCThank you for the input so far, guys! We're grateful you're willing to watch our Patreon page change so often. :P Hopefully we'll find a really dynamite set of goals and perks one day and finally lock it in for a longer term. ;)

2015-03-31 02:48:17 +0000 UTCSUPER EFFECTIVE CUT! I was actually just looking over the tiers today today while I was bored to see if anything had been updated yet. I'm just ahead of the game! Your current description of the Beard Wrangler perk includes both the "Legendary orange" credit AND the purple flashing credit / purple loot badge bragging rights. Not that anyone will probably be contributing at that tier any time soon, but you might want to at least make it look like you didn't forget to erase stuff from the purple tier when you copied and pasted and added stuff. (Unless Beard Wranglers really do get their name in both orange and purple, because they're just that special.) As for goals, you guys are soooo much more creative than I am; I don't have any ideas or suggestions for goal rewards. I like the ones that are there, though I am a bit hesitant about the Beard getting his own musical. I love finding him in his cameo appearances, and the Bonus Encounter that gave his backstory was cool, but I just don't see how having him as the main character of a musical would really work. Knowing y'all, you'd find a way, of course. The mini web series reminds me of Encounting and how awesome that was, but also how much time that required and how much work it was. Granted, if you're getting $2000 per musical, that would probably be enough to support you so that at least one of you wouldn't have to work a "real" job and thus would have more time to work on it... I'm just thinking of logistics. Perks: again, I'm not the creative one. I enjoy the REvatars and the related art, but doing a Patreon song with them every month was definitely work overload. Whatever you guys come up with, I'm sure it will be fine! As long as you keep it manageable ;)

2015-03-31 01:27:54 +0000 UTCYay! Congrats on the Eevee song - again! And the way you've described the new tiers seems a lot more manageable. We're supporting you for musicals for everybody, not just prizes for us, so we want you to have the time to make the musicals we're begging you for XD You could make a yearly Patreon song, and put it to a holiday, or a quiet part of the year, or after a particularly easy video (if you don't want to have lives)? Or maybe a subscriber/patron milestone song? You probably already thought of this already haha tl;dr That's a very good idea, I like the new tiers!
