Changes To The My Patreon (Patreon)
Content
After talking with a few people, I realized that it's time that I update my Patreon account. These changes won't go into effect until late July, but I wanted to let you guys know. Here are some of the big changes I'm thinking about doing.
1) Tier Name Changes: Looking at the names for the tiers, I feel like they aren't special enough. So I'm going to give them a more formal name. To see the new name of these tiers, check out the list at the end of this post.
2) Getting rid of Poster and Animation requests at $1 - $10 tiers: One of the problems I've noticed is that people join the Patreon to get a poster or an animation done. However, after that, they don't do anything afterwards. It even causes some people to leave. Not to mention, with my schedule getting crazier and crazier, I need my schedule to be clearer. I will still wrap up requests requested to me before July, but afterwards, I cannot accept anymore. If you want to commission for these projects (provided that my schedule is free), just email me at daitomodachichannel@gmail.com.
3) Elimination of $15 and $100 tiers: I realized that some of the perks at the $15 tier weren't distinct enough from the $10 tier. So starting in late July, I plan to get rid of this tier and move the $15 tier rewards to the $10. I also realized that the $100 tier is an unstainable tier for alot of people. So I plan to get rid of it all together.
4) Private Livestreams: I plan on holding private livestreams on Sundays at 6PM EST. These private live streams will range from animating scenes I can't animate on Twitch, editing a video, or writing a script for a future project.
Here's a full list of the changes coming to the Patreon
- $1 Tier (Bronze Shades): Verbal shout out at the end of a new animation for new patrons, WIP videos, Bloopers, Monthly progress posts, name at the end of the credits, Patron only Discord chat, Ad-Block forgiveness, discount on merch
- $5 Tier (Silver Shades): See new videos at least a week before release, 1 HD Desktop Wallpaper, Private livestreams and Bronze shades rewards.
- $10 Tier (Gold Shades): See the schedule and progress of animation projects, Exclusive polls, will send you any past merch of your choosing, immediate access on finished videos, and Bronze shades rewards.
- $50 Tier (Platnium Shades): Downloadable assets from newly released animations (if available), special role on the discord server, name gets highlighted at the end credits of videos, consulting on animations/scripts/YouTube, and Gold Shades rewards.
If you have any suggestions, questions or concerns, please let me know in the comment section, Discord chat, etc. Hope you guys enjoy the changes.
