Patreon update 2017 - January + February
🕑 Added 2017-02-20 02:58:30 +0000 UTC Sorry about the late update everyone, after missing the January update I was hoping I would be able to get on track more swiftly, but unfortunately that wasn't the case.To start of this post I was initially going to do a brief summary of what has been happening in my life these past weeks, but as it turned out that summary was everything except brief and so I'm going to have another post dedicated to that later.
So here we go! time to bring in the first update of 2017!
Starting of, I've decided to freshen up my page with both some new stuff and changes to existing ones. All these changes focus on giving me more ways to reward patrons within my existing workflow- So It's a win-win for everyone!
Patreon changes as of 20-02-2017:
New reward included in "Fledling" ($10) tier - Tutorial streams
Tutorial streams will be private streams announced here for all $10 and over patrons, the idea is that I will be working on creating the tutorials that will later be posted here on stream while allowing watchers to engage in what is being created.
(Since I found that tutorials wasn't something I had time to create without sacrifing too much time that I needed for my other work I'm hoping this will provide a satisfactory solution- Making the time spend creating the tutorials another activity for my patrons.)
Cameos and themed pictures "combined"
The themed pictures- aka the ones voted through with a poll will always contain a few characters involved, and instead of fretting over what characters to include in them I'm going to let the cameo spot holders decide.
The sketches of the themed pictures will be put up here on patreon in an YCH style format, then the people holding the corresponding reward tier will simply be able to grab a spot for a character of their choice, first come first serve (micro and full spots will be marked separately for the tiers).
Any tiers not grabbed within the set time will be sold with the bid starting at the price of the corresponding reward tiers ($10 for micro, $50 for full)
(Cameos was promised as a fun little thing where I would include the patrons characters/sona in my pictures and they would be just that- cameos, either as micros or extras in a scene.
Unfortunately this didn't work out too well in the end, as having to add extra characters in a scene just to be able to have a cameo there ended up being too much work to makes sense, especially when it came to those who wanter their cameo in a predatory/dominant role.)
And lastly to correspond with this change:
New $50 tier - With acess to the new full cameo spot, but no other art reward
It's a guaranteed sketch comic vs the possibility of your characters in a full painting.
I don't know if anyone will be interested in a tier like this, but I thought it could be worth adding considering you still get a lot with lower tiers now.
And that's all the changes for now!
Also, if any of you remember that poll I posted before - Combined with the results of the poll on twitter "Make a small 2D game" won!
If I ever get some free time again I can't wait to try that out.
