The Big Change (Patreon)
Content
Hello, Patrons!
The big change is here, and I will keep this as short and to the point as possible, as I fear I've been too wordy in previous posts.
Starting on March 6th, I'll be releasing only one comic at a time, and each Monday, all $6+ Patrons will have access to 100 pages of that comic. These comics will run anywhere from 400-800 pages, so you will get access to the complete comic quickly.
This update is the most significant change I've made to the campaign since starting in 2016, but please know I'm doing this to increase the quality of the comic's stories and significantly streamline the creative process for me.
Here are the three big reasons I'm doing this:
- I'm cannibalizing good stories that could be fleshed out into large comics in a rush to create more bite-sized content that can be released quickly. That was fine when this was just a hobby and a side hustle, but as a Professional, I don't see the merit in it anymore.
- Writing 3-4 comics at a time has made them all feel the same, as it's so hard to "reset" my mind after writing a 30-page sex comedy to then work on a dramatic scene for a big comic. If I want my comics to have more focus, I need to focus more on each comic.
- It's nearly impossible for me to get ahead when simultaneously working on so many comics. When focusing on one, I can get into grooves and create more each week to slowly get ahead and not have to worry about meeting deadlines (which in turn helps keep up the quality).
This change will inevitably cause some Patrons to leave the campaign, and I completely understand if you choose to do so. I also see a time when people pause the campaign because they don't like the comic's theme for a given month, which I actively support. I've never liked the idea of Patrons being "trapped" in a campaign that includes only one comic they want to follow. Now Patrons have more power over where their support goes, and while I hate to see Patrons leave, I hope they'll see something they like in the future and come back.
Anyway, here's the TLDR for those who want the big info:
- Campaign will feature one TG Comic published at a time
- Comic will run anywhere from 400 to 800 pages
- Weekly 100 Page updates for all $6+ Patrons
Also, it's worth noting that ongoing comics like Foxy and Dress Up will be completed before moving on to the new big releases.
Thanks for being here and sticking with me through all the campaign changes, and I hope this is a new start for an even better campaign!
Tyler :)
