Some various info (in topics) (Patreon)

Hey! Let's talk about some topics in here to keep you informed.

Daylight Saving Time: Seems like some countries are ending the DST or starting it. I'm currently not going to change the schedule as my posts are based in JST (Japan Standard Time). So if your country is entering DST the posts will be 1 hour later and if it's ending, then 1 hour earlier.

Tournament rewards: As I mentioned, the girls from the semi finals will have their sets. Of course the finalists too. The only exceptions are the hosts. They had different rules for rewards. With the way the votes are going seems like only koikoi will have something, but not quite much.

Apple Prices: A reminder that if you pay Patreon through the iStore you might pay +- 30% more. So check the prices by another mean if you can.

Polls: We will have some polls from suggestions soon.

Requests: As the new tiers are starting to roll, the tendency is to have less slots in the normal request tiers. Because the idea of these tiers was actually that you talk to me first before paying. I feel bad to deny a request after it's already paid, but I need to start doing that more often whenever I see some requests getting more demanding and some getting more forbidden (based on Patreon rules).

Another thing that feels bad is when I'm planning a set. Then someone requests the character with some specifications that would completely break my idea. If the request wasn't paid in advance I could just simply say that I already plan to make the character in another way and move on. But being paid in advance makes me want to change the idea and save it for another time. Sometimes I give up because another request for the same character comes up near the time I plan to post again. So it's a bit difficult to deal.

So my plan with these new requester tiers is to actually slowly move from this pay in advance system that has established itself without my intention. Actually I didn't mind paying in advance when I didn't have to deal with too much specifications. But since it became so common that people are asking specific details for the sets, I think it's better that I make it clear that I have to accept before you pay.

I need time to even answer if I can make what you want because sometimes I have to study the models and sometimes even the character. Because sometimes I end up in content trap, doing something that would upset a lot of people without having the slightest idea that a certain character has a specific characteristic that would draw a lot of hate or complaints.

Cipher style: This is just me playing with another style, don't worry about that if you don't like it.
