An outline of changes to come!
🕑 Added 2018-10-23 12:01:00 +0000 UTC Hello!I haven't posted in a while—forgive me if anyone's been antsy wondering what's up. I want to finally offer some insight into what will be going on here from now on.
Tier changes inbound
First things first: the tiers published at the time of posting this are not the tiers that will be charged for October. They'll be rewritten before billing begins on November 1, or in the event that I need more time to plan, all payments will be paused until the next payment cycle after that.
What will the new tiers be? Well, I can't talk about them now because I haven't set anything in stone yet, but they're along the lines of "see WIP screenshots, read new content as soon as it's made" and such. Possibly even access to exclusive streams if I manage to set that up, but that's just an idea I may or may not even implement. PSD files won't get their own reward tier, but I'll try to fit them into an existing tier when I have some to give away.
What will the new content be?
This is kind of the big question. The good news is that I can answer it properly now that I'm as far into it as I am:
I'm making a web comic (title TBA) that will see 8 new pages per month, published twice weekly on Tuesdays and Fridays. I'll be setting up a website for that, which I can't link to yet since... it doesn't exist. But I endeavor to make it so soon. If all goes well, your Patreon pledges will be supporting the comic's creation starting November!
I'm more than halfway through the first chapter right now, sticking to a schedule of one finished page per day. It's worked out well so far, so I think it'll be viable going forward, too. The header screenshot is a sample from the page I finished today.
Making this comic was something I first wanted to do around two and a half years ago, when I was still just tinkering with the idea of a Patreon campaign. I've spent long enough thinking about it and doing other things in the meantime, so now it's time to finally get to it.
That's a shot from the same page I finished today. It's the main character named Momo (whose name I've been borrowing since two years ago)!
Other considerations
Along with all the big changes, some smaller ones will follow.
- I'll probably change the URL of my Patreon page (again), though I want to try to do that early enough so that it confuses as few people as possible.
- You'll need to revise your pledge once I publish the new tiers, so be on the lookout for that. I won't be pruning any pledges that remain untouched following any price changes.
- Two bullet points seemed like too short a list, but I don't have much else to say...
I just remembered that I never posted those character sketches I said I would, so I'll do that in the days following this post.
Anyway, I hope that was a reasonably concise post. Thanks for your support up until now! I'm excited to be realizing the original vision at last and I hope you'll be around for the new developments to come.
