Weekly Inquiry 216: End goals

Added 2023-03-20 20:07:11 +0000 UTC

TOMORROW we upload the next Shoebox caption batch! After that we will also have a new Extra art this week. The Monthly tale and Pillow tale are in the cleaning tables and will also be up as soon as they are ready, I’m also already working in the next-next batch of captions.

This week’s inquiry is about that scary concept known as The Future.

As I showed you folks in the DS server, Patreon sent me an email explaining that they will soon eliminate the goals feature from this webpage. I’m mostly neutral about the removal of the feature, I don’t think it wasn’t overall too important, but it didn’t hurt to have it around and the reasoning they have given for taking it off is… weird to say the least.

Would say that for the most part we have accomplished all the fully reached SkS goals set in the Patreon, but to compensate for the loss of those milestones I have been thinking of opening a new tier.

At the moment the idea is a single spot tier that grants you one illustration (a single panel drawing similar to the Extra art stuff) from Ereon + the Shoebox tier benefits of having a caption request every month.

The question we are debating is what should be the price, in my opinion it needs to be enough to justify the labour… but don’t wanna make it seem greedy either, mostly because more than once people have got the tier spot and haven’t requested anything and that makes me feel odd. So let’s make a survey to have a reference point of how you folks feel about the idea.

The option that “wins” this poll will not necessarily be the final price of the tier if it’s made, there’s also a few other options being considered, like some sort of “Choose your own change” gimmick and similar.
