It's been fun while it lasted
🕑 Added 2024-08-24 15:39:32 +0000 UTCBut I'm finally out of fuel
Welp guys, I got news ye all won't like...
August came, August went (Almost). And the channel is sadly, failing hard. The amount of time and effort I put into it is way too high for what I get back, since compared to porting stuff, I spend too much time on one model. Whatever the case, working like this is not helping me, nor my life.
So, there will be some drastic changes.
First, all polls are now discontinued.
And I mean, ALL of em. No more polls.
Second, New models will be reduced drastically.
While I won't 'fully' stop, things will slow down quite a lot. So far it's been two models a month, from here on, I have no quota set up, might not post something for 2 months, might not post something for a year.
Things I will post will be, the very rare commission I might do (More info about that below), and the occasional Collab I might do. (With the collab essentially being a null point since you can get this stuff from whoever I collab with too)
Third. Tiers will change.
I know my stuff's been leaked, so if you guys want stuff for free, just go look em up there. Cause I won't spend time re-releasing all my stuff now.
Up till now, my channel was an 'investment' for future models, thus why you could get everything for 2 bucks. Which is not working xD
But things coming out from here on out will be tagged in by tier based on difficulty to make, before being set free after the time the collab partner/commissioner sets to me.
And so, some prop saw I mentioned commissions.
Yes, but be warned that there is a reason I avoided them thus far xD.
Cause these can get quite, expensive, especially with custom meshes.
As my time is about 20-25 euros an hour. And if a model takes 10 hours to mesh, texture, weight paint, put in game, test run, make corrections, repeat...You get the idea . (To put it in perspective, for most models I made I worked over 20 hours total, if not more, and peeps can get em for 2 bucks _)
And I know that based on discord's commission channel, these things go for 100 bucks top, which means I would have to finish the model in uhhh 5 hours. all textures, mesh, coding and character creation in koi it self. which means it'll be a hot, rushed ,turd. xD
So that ends with me having a few select people that I get commissions/collabs from.
(I will still do the first, and final Gacha poll since we had at least 2 people voting, but the winner won't be a top priority on my to-do list. It will be done, but it will take more time)
I highly recommend that you peeps stop supporting me if you have been here for the 2 models a month xD, Since I don't want anybody to feel like I'm stealing their coins, because there will be months that there will be nothing new here.
(If you just paid for September and don't care/want Alma Elma and the final gacha winner, send me a note to refund ye.)

Essentially, with a rough estimate, what I will do is release characters I make with collabs, (Example being in the 27th ima post carmi from hazbin, and these will always be in the lowest priced tier, but as mentioned they will also be in the collab's patreon) Past that is any commission I might do, or any model I might make in my free time, the former being priced either on lowest tier, or what my commissioner asks and released when the commissioner asks, the later being priced as noted.

Hello Naier, I want to start by saying that I fully understand your situation and I am sorry that your work has been filtered by people who do not respect your effort and dedication. I know it must be frustrating and disheartening to see your content being distributed without permission. I really like the models you create and appreciate all the time and effort you put into each one. That said, I understand that the future of your channel is uncertain and that the new models could be delayed indefinitely. Also, since you mentioned that prices could change depending on the complexity of the model, this will also affect my decision on whether or not to purchase a particular model. There is no need to pay me back for this month; I want to continue to support you as you see how the channel progresses. My plan is to keep my subscription this month and next month to see how the situation evolves. After that, depending on significant changes in pricing and how content is distributed, I might adjust my subscription. That is, I could be a continuous subscriber if the prices and content are in line with what I feel is appropriate, or conditional if I subscribe only when there are new models and the prices are within what I feel comfortable paying. Thank you for always being transparent and for all the amazing work you do. I hope you can find a balance that will allow you to continue creating without so much stress. Best regards.
