Update Post! April 1st (Patreon)
Content
Today's April Fools day, and through an enormous amount of determination and maybe even some stubbornness, I managed to get the April Fools Special, The Cheetahmen , complete and up in time!
In the span of a week, I got 3 songs out: One-Winged Angel, Vs. Gruntilda, and The Cheetahmen. With so much done in such a short amount of time, I actually don't have the next song lined up yet! So let's talk about my plans for April.
First up, the next song of the month will be the next Patreon Drawing Winner. For those new here, the drawing takes place on the 5th of each month, which will be this Wednesday. There's still plenty of time to update or add your lists if you need to, which you can do on the current version of the request list here.
If I haven't gotten to your list yet, don't worry! I'll be going over them at the beginning of the week and should have it up to date by Monday.
Not knowing what the next song is till Wednesday gives me some free time to work on other things. I'll be spending a lot of next week working on getting caught back up with Tier 5+ acoustic short requests.
This month will feature the official release of the Side-Quests Vol 1 album (which, by the way, if you still haven't downloaded, you can grab it here) and ALL videos for the album songs. The official release date will now be on April 14th.
I had previously said it would be on April 15th, but I've also decided to hold another Youtube live-stream on release day to help promote the album to everybody. Friday tends to be a better day for me to stream, so I'm moving the release up a day. \o/
Also, with all the album videos coming out, that means we're going to have at least 12 song videos this month. So here's yet another reminder to make sure your monthly limits are set! You can adjust your monthly limits by going to the 'Your Pledges' page. I don't want to break anyone's bank here, so please adjust your monthly limits if you need to, this is mostly important for those on higher tiers.
I'll be using a bit of the extra money from this month to get physical album copies made for some giveaways in the near future! Since I don't get April's pledges until the beginning of May, my plan is to get the physicals made sometime in May and then do the giveaway either near the end of May or beginning of June. I'll be doing the album giveaways here via random drawing on Patreon, and another one on a future Youtube live-stream. So technically if you attend that YT live-stream you'll have 2 chances. xD
And of course, these won't be the only giveaways ever, I'll be doing more throughout the year as well.
So, in summation, April's songs will be The Cheetahmen (already released), the next Patreon Drawing Winner (drawing will take place on the 5th), and then the videos for all the album songs (minus Saturos, since that song originally came out last year and is just a remaster on the album).
....then in May, we're doubling down with another explosion of songs for this years May Madness. I'll discuss May Madness plans in another update post later this month.
That's all for now, thank you all for being amazing and for all your ongoing love and support! These next couple of months should really show people just how much going full time has increased my GaMetal production. I'm really excited about it!
(TL;DR: April songs will be The Cheetahmen, the next Patreon Drawing winner, and all of the Side-Quest Album songs.)
