• 2022 Retrospective
What a year, 2022. It was a good, scary and bad year for SloP. Without getting into TOO much detail, because I don't want to start 2023 too sour;
I'm reaching more and more people, which is great. I'm now reselling on Affect3D, which is awesome. But, I am still worried about the whole Twitter thing. Honestly, it made me very conscious about how fragile this whole SloP thing is. The other platforms that I diversified towards aren't pulling in any noteworthy numbers. Which makes it scary for me to be dependent on a platform that is... shaky to say the least.
• Plans for 2023
My first goal for 2023 is to get at least one animation out there. It's a safe goal, I'll probably reach it within two/three months. Throughout making animations, I'll probably get very used to using Blender and it's very, very confusing and complex design. But, I'm confident I'll be able to get quality stuff out there. I don't want to serve low-quality stuff, if I'm gonna do it, I'll make it look good. I'm a perfectionist like that.
So, no stiff, robot-like animations. It's gonna have proper quality.
Later in the year, I want to start the canon story in New Peitham with these characters. It'll be LESS focussed on just smut and have some more character, character arcs and relationships that'll change over the course of the narrative.
But, I think it's wise to know where you're weaknesses are and I'm not scared to be open about (some of) my weaknesses, namely plot writing. I'm pretty good at characterization and dialogue but plot and plot-beats, where the story is going, I'm not good at.
In between animations and the larger narrative, I'll still do the usual works and smaller projects, that won't change.

I always want to add more rewards to this campaign, but I'm only one man and I there's only so many hours in every day. I don't like to have to sacrifice the quality/quantity of my work, but it might have to come to that, because I don't think there's enough that I'm giving back in exchange to what supporters are giving me. Especially the higher tiers.
I think TIER 1 is perfectly fine. You give me a buck, you get the high quality downloads of all the public works and the occasional bonus (like these renders here).
TIER 2 could be improved slightly, I think it's okay at this stage. But maybe a small extra reward would be neat.
TIER 3 however desperately needs a lot more. I think TIER 3 and up should be really for people who want to have a hand in the work and impact it.
So I'll do monthly (at first, if successful weekly) check-ins, see what TIER 3 and up wants.
If you have more rewards in mind, please let me know!
