Current Patreon Roadmap (for June at least!) (Patreon)
Content
Alrighty, got a lot of things to cover here. Yesterday I announced the poll for this month's Patron-voted TG sequence, as well as the new reward tier for frame-per-month commissions (with all slots getting immediately bought out lol, much obliged!), and now I gotta share the current roadmap of what to expect for this month and beyond, including the TG animation, a SCHOOL SPIRIT reward needing attention, as well as some broader changes regarding future scheduling of Patron benefits. Strap in while I strap on:
Changing (and hopefully improving) the schedules for Patron rewards!
Ok so this is probably the most boring thing, but it's relevant to how a vast majority of Patrons subbed here are gonna receive their rewards, so gonna explain this first:
My scheduling of certain things like when we host Patron TG polls, host discussions for submitting ideas, and when things are to be received has been suboptimal, mostly because they were made before I really understood how Patreon's website itself handles payments and dates them.
The current method right now for $10/Counsel-tier patrons especially is pretty suboptimal; making them wait until the second half of a month to join in as payments refresh on the 1st of each month is really weird, additionally because waiting for 2+ weeks for folks to contribute ideas is kinda overkill, as is the wait time for the final poll to process into a final sequence at the end of the month.
So starting July, I'm gonna be changing this up to be more streamlined, with the goal of having all rewards of a given month actually within the month in question:
In case these diagrams aren't super clear, breaking it down:
- $10 Tier: Suggestion period now place in week 1 of the month.
- $5 Tier: Poll (with suggestions by $10-tier patrons) now taking place in week 2.
- $25 Tier: The discussion period for the sequence should be around the first half of the month (I don't want folks to join in too late for me to properly fit you in the schedule, though this will only matter if I decide to open up the tier again in the future aha)
- The voted TG sequence will be completed around the final week of the month! The commission panels will be released in the final days of the month!
Now one complication I've previously mentioned with $10-tier Patrons is that for this transition to work, that means that this month's usual discussion period for the TG sequence poll of the following month will instead be in July, not June. To make this up to yall, I will be opening up a special discussion later this month to decide July's theme to base the sequence on, likely with its own tier-specific poll for democracy's sake :D
UNHOLY BLISS (the upcoming Paladin/Succubus TG animation)
So now that SCHOOL SPIRIT is done (for the most part, see below lol), the next thing on the docket is this Ko-fi-backed TG animation! I am super stoked for this, though the rollout is gonna be really interesting, so bare with me:
As a reminder, what was released now (on Twitter and on Youtube) is the intro teaser, and after this, there are meant to be 5 additional, increasingly lewd segments (most will be shorter than the 2:20 time limit Twitter will allow, but that is the number of em!).
Now, before I promised that I will be releasing each part individually as they're made, but what I think is likely going to happen is that I will release a finished segment early on Patreon for $5-and-above-tiers first, then release it publicly on Twitter once the next part is out. This is mostly because I want to take in feedback for a "first final draft" before releasing it publicly -- there are a few glaring mistakes of this initial teaser I want to correct (a few animation glitches that I'm not gonna explicitly point out bc then you won't be able to unsee them lol) -- and it should be a fun treat for yall donating now that SCHOOL SPIRIT is over aha :D
One additional thing to note about the animation once the episodic release is all finished, I intend to do a "final" compiled, 10+min (or however long it will be) version of the full animation... but since it will be NSFW, only expect a censored release on Youtube. With that said, I will be sharing a fully lewd version of the full experience to Patrons as an MP4 download, at least before I can figure out a different public avenue to share the full horny sexbang transformation shenanigans aha
Expect the first new part to be out by next week! I don't know for sure when the whole animation will all be completed, but I wanna say within the end of June, though like SCHOOL SPIRIT, who knows if I'll be really capable of getting it by the deadline (animation is a really strange beast that's faster in some ways, harder in others, so it's hard to tell kek). Fingers crossed!
BONUS SCHOOL SPIRIT!
One last major commitment I have is that in the past, I promised that if we reach above the 120 patron threshold, I'll add in a bonus epilogue page just to share a little more of Blake adjusting to her new schoolgirl life! We're well past that mark, so fuck it let's goooooo
Now, I have a few different proposals for what to do for a bonus epilogue, though one particular idea that I'm latching onto is: remember that package Blake dropped off to the mystery secretary at the start of the comic? I was thinking of revealing that it was actually delivered to herself, and contained a buncha new clothes, and Blake would be treating herself to a little fashion show trying them on. Adding onto that, I was thinking of letting Patrons decide what cute schoolgirl outfits we should dress Blake up in!
If that sounds fun to you, or if you have some other, more fun way to do an aftermath page for SCHOOL SPIRIT, let me know down below! Expect further news on the plans for this later this month!
Future plans beyond this...
Once all these promised projects are done, it'll be time to move onto more promises :D One thing I'm DEFINITELY going to be doing (hopefully starting mid-July) is opening a few slots for big commissions again, as I've received a backlog of folks wishing to com me and it's been a long time coming.
Aside from that, I don't wanna staunchly commit to really big promises as even my current schedule is in flux and I'm unsure what's gonna happen, but here's just a few general things on my mind on what to expect from me that may or may not happen:
- Starting a Discord server/newsletter, or just a dedicated website for all my stuffs?
- A vote-based choose-your-own-adventure TGTF comic?
- Starting new long-term Patreon goals; setting somethin up for $2k-per month (more monthly content? or the next longform comic 🤔), $10k per month (starting a visual novel? 🧐)
- Depending on the success and personal bandwidth on doing panel-per-month commissions, I may open more slots and more opportunities! We'll see...
- Lots of TGideas and miscellaneous shitposting on Twitter
And yeah, that's about it as of now. Thank you so much for your patience, I'm excited to get to work soon, and hopefully yall will be just as excited to see them come to fruition. Expect new goodies very soon! :D
