PATREON 2019 Tiers & News! - Please reply with your thoughts!
🕑 Added 2018-12-07 18:51:14 +0000 UTC Hey there! Guys, I wanna start off with thanking you again immensely for your great support throughout this first year. I know I haven't been able to deliver much but as we grow, things will get better and slowly slide into place."Lately I've realized something about the current tiers and what I'm offering to you for your support, and came to the conclusion that most of it is either not enough to justify the price, nor physically and mentally possible for me to keep on delivering artworks and wallpapers each month like I originally wanted to."
This goes especially for the mail certificates, for which I would have to keep on doing for every one of you pledging $10 or more - While not a big strain right now, it could eventually start to be especially when deadlines on projects get tighter and there will be more of you overall.
So here's what I think could be a nice re-balancing of the tiers and rewards. There's actually nothing much changing, in fact - You can now get MORE with less!
But before we get into it - Here's a premise.
◆ Starting January 2019, I will make Progress Reports VIDEOS instead of text.
- This will be pretty easy for me to keep up, as I can just use stream footage and record some voice over talking about what's currently being worked on and more. This will also hopefully help the growth of our channel as content upload will become more frequent.
- I'm planning on making a quick update video to release in a couple of weeks talking about this very change on both Patreon Tiers and Upload schedule, so please, your feedback on the following ideas for the new Tiers would be extremely useful!
-------------------------------------
◆ For $1 a month
- You will now have access to HD Visual Material! (Sketches, Artworks, Design Sheets, Promotional Frames - but in 720p)
- Progress Reports will be public, but you will still get access to Project-Specific Text Updates throughout the months!
◆ For $2 a month (NEW!)
- Your Name in the Credits of each new video. (More Info in the upcoming Update Video)
- Access to FullHD Visual Material! (1080p)
- Access to PRIVATE Discord! (There will also be a Public one but trust us it's gonna be a mess!)
+ all of the above
◆ For $5 a month
- Your name PRIORITIZED in the Credits of each new video (Meaning higher tiers contributors are listed at the top of the list but it also depends on their all-time contribution.)
- FullHD Wallpapers
+ all of the above
◆ For $10 a month
- Special e-mail certificate (Just like now, but for the reasons listed above I will have to ask you to DM me whenever you want an updated copy of it so I won't need to make a new one every single month for everyone)
- Custom Photoshop Brushes (I know I haven't released a single one yet - I wanted to find the time to properly package them together with attached demonstration videos on how to get the best results using them - But I can now slot that in the monthly Progress Report Videos!)
+ all of the above
◆ For $25 a month
- Your name PRIORITIZED and in BOLD Text in the Credits of each new video
- 4K Wallpapers
- 4K Visual Material when available (Some rough sketches and concepts might be drawn in lower source resolution)
+ all of the above
◆ For $50 a month
- Your name PRIORITIZED and in SILVER Text in the Credits of each new video (Like in the Credits of "Game Over")
Recommended to pledge only after a Big Project's release date is announced
+ all of the above
◆ For $100 a month (INSTEAD OF THE CURRENT $150!)
- Your name listed as "Project Funder" in SPARKLY GOLDEN Text in the Credits of each new video
+ all of the above
-----------
This is it, thank you all for your time! Please keep in mind these changes will not take effect until January 1st, 2019 - So there's still time to change things around a bit, which is why I'd like to hear your feedback!
I will come back again this month with Streams, a surprise Christmas Artwork Wallpaper for everyone in glorious 4K regardless of your current pledge, and the new update video before that to officialize these changes and trying to dive into the new year with a fresh start!
Thank you all again so much, I cannot begin to describe how much your support means to me and how much it keeps me motivated. I know it's a bumpy road right now but we're confident things will start to take off soon. I just ask you for your patience and for you to believe in our projects.
Have a wonderful weekend and see you at the next update!
