Content

Hey everyone, welcome to all new patrons -- I hope you enjoy your stay -- and welcome back to all long-time supporters as well, you truly are the backbone of all of this!

In my efforts to improve the Patreon experience for everyone, I'm going to be implementing a monthly Content Roadmap -- take a look at the prototype image I've provided here, which is using some of this month's characters as examples. One of these will be released at the end of every month, detailing next month's content; this will let patrons know what to expect. One of the challenges I've had with Patreon is being consistent with release dates, and how often and when I let you all know which characters are getting published, and when polls are coming; this Roadmap will be a formalization of my schedule, and you'll be able to follow along with me as we traverse the month. It will be published on my Instagram, Twitter, and DeviantArt accounts at the same time, so my broader audience can get a sneak peek of what's going on as well. 

Regarding the format, I decided to go with a very visual calendar, since previously, the random announcements of dates for upcoming content could come off as vague and abstract -- this gives off a very obvious indicator of when you can expect content, and spaces them out better. The spacing of the content was also another difficulty I ran into -- this month, I released all three exclusives (and a bonus) in the first half of the month, and now you guys might be feeling a content drought until April 1st. To combat that, as shown in the roadmap, future exclusives would be spaced out a bit more.

Because of this new Roadmap that I will be implementing, the poll that I was originally going to have this month will be pushed to the beginning of April -- it will determine the character(s) to be done on April 22nd. 


So, forgive the messy nature of the image, and please take a minute to let me know your thoughts in the comments below! 

  • What do you think of this Content Roadmap idea overall?
  • Do you like the calendar-type layout? Do you think anything should be moved around visually (the month/year/title headers, the legend, the character icons, etc)?
  • Do you think a consistent poll at the beginning of the month is an improvement? Is a week a good enough time for everyone to get their vote in?

hm... Just looking at your roadmap has me thinking that, on paper, it's fine. What I also know is that you also have commissions that you post throughout the month on da and twitter which often tend to be between your patron pieces. If anything, I would like to say that you could get away with posting those here as well to help offset the long periods between exclusives and still have content coming out on regular intervals. so, yes, the schedule you made with the calendar should work, but I also think you could benefit from adding the work you already do. Poll wise, it works as well since we can start voting on the first of the month and have something to look forward to, plus other cool stuff!

Yes, I think it would be a good idea to post all that "regular" content here as well, in the sense that, Patreon should be the primary place to get ALL of my content, including the commissions that get put out publicly on other platforms and sites.

Nothing to worry about the idea with the calender. Nice visual idea to show us what will come. And I agree with AyaneMatrix, that it would be nice to see the DA artworks here to. I am so rare on this site nowadays and always stunned to see how many new artworks you have. Damn, I nearly missed Liara. How dare you!!!

Looks simple and effective to me

I have taken this advice to heart, and I will now be posting all commissions here as well. ^_^
