Content switch up, or 'How I'm getting my shit together'.
🕑 Added 2023-11-29 21:55:12 +0000 UTCPost edit: I just want to clarify that I'm still going to be making variants and phase maps, just not every single release, trying to force variants or phases when they don't happen organically is wasted time and energy. The issue I was having was feeling like I HAD to make a million variants for every single map.
Foundry modules are extra content, they aren't replacing normal maps or anything, just in case this post isn't clear on it, I'm not very good at explaining things properly.
Ok, as I mentioned in my last post I was gonna give a little more info in what I want to do with content releases going forward. I'll try and keep it short and to the point (yeah right):
Basically I realized that even if the base map idea was good, if I couldn't think of worthwhile variants or phases for it I would end up with paralysis which would cause me to shut down creatively for extended periods of time. Probably related to my ADHD tbh.
So I've decided that it would be better for both you and me if I don't try and force variants or phases for maps if they aren't happening organically. That'll take the pressure off and allow me to create more unique maps which means I'll be able to bump those release numbers up again.
I'm going to be including foundry modules on top of normal maps, I know not everyone uses foundry so not everyone will be able to take advantage of these, but you'll still be getting cool maps as normal. I currently have no plans to make a higher tier to put the foundry modules in so anyone supporting with $4 and above will have access to them.
I MIGHT decide to put them in a higher tier later down the line, but while I'm getting used to making them they'll stay in the current tiers.
Hopefully y'all consider this a worthwhile trade off and better for the health of this patreon.

Quick note; I know patreon has a new chat feature on their mobile app, I don't use the app so if anyone is trying to reach me via the chat I'm not getting it, I'm not ignoring you, patreon is just dumb with rolling out features. If you need to reach me then send a DM or contact me in the discord server if you're in there (Or comment on any post).

Hey dude, I appreciate the words of encouragement, it's nice to know even you have the same issue with paralysis, and that you've seen good results by letting things happen more organically, gives me hope! Thank you!

Hey Krane! Saw this update and just wanted to drop by and say I totally understand that decision paralysis, happens to me to with miniature variants and I landed on a similar of solution of just not forcing it if it wasn't happening organically - I do really feel it results in more and better work when we follow the flow and don't burn cycles slamming our heads against the wall. Anyhow, I just know this stuff can be stressful and I wanted to take a moment to let you know you're not in it alone and it's okay!
