Content

Hey guys!

So I'm thinking about ways to make things smoother, while also delivering more content to you guys here at Patreon faster. After thinking about it, this is a solution that I thought of and I wanted to see what you guys think!

Free content (Deviant Art and Pixiv):
Instead of whole new comics for these platforms, I would start releasing the old Patreon stories (starting with Something's Shifty) in the regular schedule of 1 panel a day. It would ONLY be content from the $5 tier, leaving the $10 tier as exclusives

$5 Patreon Tier:
This will be as normal, except that you will receive a boost to 10 panels a week rather than 7!
Eventually these comics will be released to the public, but because this content is being released faster than the 'one a day' on the free platforms, the gap will only widen for the delay. If I started this right now, the gap would already be something like 8 months delay (since the release of Something's Shifty)

$10 Patreon Tier:
This tier will ALSO receive a boost of releases, going from 7 to 10 a week like the previous tier.
These comics will stay as exclusives to Patreon and will not be released to the public


So the reason I'm thinking about this is a few reasons:

             -I wanted to boost the amount of panels I release, but can't while I've got three comics to write and make. If it goes well, I may even boost them more in future!

             -Allowing me to focus on two comics means I can do cooler stuff with them and ultimately give them better polish! I might also be able to release separate smaller sequences or pin-up shots of characters from time to time with this improved workflow

             - The stress of maintaining three comics and storylines and constantly jumping between them is more than I thought it would be, and I feel like this is affecting both the quality of my work, as well as my desire to make the comics as it feels quite overwhelming at times, meaning I noticed I don't have as much drive to work on them.

             -For the sake of transparency, I'm hoping it will boost pledges. Other creators do this as well and they seem to do well in terms of people pledging on Patreon, so I thought it might help me too. I seem to have stagnated somewhat in terms of growth here, so I'm hoping it might drive more traffic here so I can make this my full time job (which means more time and resources to devote to making better comics!)

So please, let me know what you think if you have any extra thoughts on this!

Much love,
Nexstat xx
