So the outcome of last poll looks like above, with majority of votes going to the $30 Tier that would give access to all NEW released videos on Patreon.
So this would be doable BUT the pace of NEW releases which for now we have speed up from 1 per 3 weeks to 1 per 2 weeks (with the future goal being 1 per 1 week) - kind of goes down in the drain.
It would highly depends on the quantity of Patrons that we would have and future goals on Patreon could be set to it - but for the current number of Patrons we could release 1, maybe sometimes 2 new videos per month (that all would be released on Patreon), and the incentive to release at faster pace is gone, as we are dependant on the Patreon billing Cycle.
Frankly, to us it would be a little more convenient to switch to Patreon, entirely, even when it comes with some risks (putting all eggs into one basket - if something happens to Patreon, it would halt our operations entirely)
I also think that Patreon way of working (billing cycles) are a little unfair to our most Loyal Patrons, that are with us for the long run. As they are the crowd that actually finance our whole operations by being with us all the time, yet with the way Patreon would work, some new Patron could jump in once a year, grab everything and leave - maybe it's just a subjective thing, but I think it's unfair.
(I do try to figure some new way to reward our long term Patrons though)
The third way could be switching on Patreon from Monthly Billing Cycles to Per-Creation. This would not take incentive for fast releases away, but it is kind of risky, as it can not be switched back, so it would require more analysis
So again, please express your preferences in poll or write your ideas of how you would like to see us working. There is no one good way to satisfy all, but we should find the most optimal way, that would suite everybody.

What is remastered in Denise Video: ⚫ Maxed out Video Quality - without the constraint for video size, the rendering quality could be pushed to the max limits. ⚫ Cleaned sound - while it might not be so noticable at first, it does impact the comfort of viewing. ⚫ Rebalanced Colours The rewards provided for Tier III Patrons are quite clear listed in the Tier III description, and that is: "Older videos will be remastered and in higher resolution whenever possible! ⚫ Exclusive access to older videos! (Update at least once a month) ⚫ Access to our picture sets! (Older and new ones - updated regulary) ⚫ Access to all takeouts and bonus scenes in our videos! " Nowhere does it states that it also gives access to the newest releases, although, newest video releases were exclusively given to the Tier III Patrons at the end of the year, for reasons that were mentioned before. I'm sorry that you feel this way, but like I mentioned before: "Expectation to have a full new video on top of that, all for 25$ is simply unrealistic." There are many reasons behind this - one of more important might be revealed if you ask other content creators, why do they not attempt to make the big cast, like hip spicas more often.

Think I purchased your video of Denise at the time you released it on BracedLife a few years ago, even this video is not a very good excuse why not the newer videos are released here for good paying supporters.. Not sure what you had to remaster on this video ...sounds a bit weird. Anyway, I don't want to complain about the casts you are doing, they were always great and still are. But if I always get a note "released on Braced Life" as supporter I feel a bit fooled around and it looks like you want the people double pay for your stuff. As this is still a fetish hobby for most of us I think I spent my money elsewhere but on your pledge here. Thanks.
