SnaccPop Studios - February Briefing - Putting You in the Love Seat! (Patreon)

Welcome back for month number two of the new SnaccPop Patreon!

Many thanks to Patreon Patrons for withstanding the delays. For anyone not in the loop, current lead artist "Sauce" has been out of commission due to severe health issues. This has lead to several delays, including this very briefing.

We, again, wholeheartedly apologize for this. We do our best to bring you as much as possible while also remaining faithful to those we support with our funds. That being said, all who were affected with late tier rewards were/will be compensated with full-color upgrades, or a bonus full-color bust piece.

Health Concerns and Tier Rewards

In full transparency, the health concerns in question affect all chambers of SnaccPop. Lead artist/director "Sauce" is responsible for writing, art, rewards, production and direction, and many more facets of SnaccPop Studios production. This month is particularly heavy, as it marks a particularly hard anniversary.

Recently, we put out a poll asking patrons if they'd like to perhaps switch to a physical merch reward system. This could help to reduce work times, and allow Sauce to focus on other facets, while the helpful people at Loading Crew Crafts produce and create merchandise to send out to you all monthly!

82% of patrons seemed interested in this idea, while 13% were unaffected and 5% wanted to continue to receive art! This information is going to be extremely helpful going forwards!

We will likely be sitting down to discuss merchandise plans going forwards this month. In the mean time, we'd love to know what kind of merch you'd all be interested in!

AphroDesia is back!

AphroDesia picks up again, as plans solidify to produce a manga-style reboot comic. As many know, original plans were made to produce a full series of audio-drama episodes under a previous "reboot" attempt. However, unfortunate circumstances eclipsed these plans.

One year later, the reboot re-commences, with "AphroDesia: Cherub X Mafia"!

This reboot is set to take place in a new yet familiar St. Valens, filled with colorful characters of all kinds. Inspired by rubber hose cartoons, 1940s noir movies, and retro detective comic series, the comics will follow the opening of the grand AphroDesia, Jambee's rise to infamy, and the introductions/meetings of several pivotal characters.

The series is set to be headed under Sauce's direction, focusing on a "simplified" plot and world- Dividing the "series canon/lore" between this iteration, which is grounded in cartoony slapstick, violence, and innuendo, and the AphroDesia "Pantheon Cut", which is the fantasy-creature inspired mythos and world that's been presented thus far.

AphroDesia: Cherub X Mafia [Title pending] will take place in an alternatively structured, but still familiar, world, while "Classic" fans can continue to enjoy our previous library of content under the AphroDesia: Pantheon Cut umbrella!

Plans are still heavily in development, with updates to be detailed. That being said, look forward to some hearty audio content set in this new, colorful world - As well as a special message from the upcoming birthday boy himself!
