A few changes to my Patreon... (Patreon)
Content
Hi everyone. I'd like to announce some slight changes that I will do to my Patreon starting from next month, which you might've noticed already from the pledge banner on the side.
1 -------
Perhaps the biggest change is that unfortunately I will be disabling the request queue from the $10++ pledges. Part of my 2019 resolution is that I'd like to finally clear up that pile of unfinished WIP's, so that I may explore other, bigger projects such as doujins, animation or perhaps, *gasp* games. So I'd like to close off any upcoming requests until I can clear the WIPs up, at least.
If you already have a request in the queue, don't worry, I will continue finishing it up as one of my WIPs. If you pledged $10/20, I will continue to progress your request according to your pledge.
This change will happen next month, so this month will be the last chance for you to make a request if you've made a $10++ pledge with the intention of getting in the queue.
I may open some other alternatives in the future once I feel more freed up. I might open a commission pricing separate from the pledges, or maybe make a suggestion channel in my discord so I can pick based on votes/personal choice instead, with a more flexible quality standard.
2 -------
Reward Expiration limit has been reduced to 6 months. I always feel like this membership system of giving access to all 1 year of content for just one pledge is prone to abuse and a bit unfair to loyal pledgers who've pledged for every month. I've always wanted to reduce it, so I feel like 6 months might be fair for now.
To help with this, I will start populating a Gumroad store with a selection of my past works as an alternative from the $10++ pledge. I never really considered Gumroad because I heard they don't like NSFW contents, but it seems NSFW people still keep using it with no problem so I'll give it a try.
$50 Patrons will also now only have access to 1 year worth of reward by request instead of access to every single one of them. I've been in Patreon for 4 years by now and I don't think I can give access to all of that for that price anymore now.
Again, this change will only happen next month, so if there's anything you like that's older than 6 months from now, you can download it now before it becomes inaccessible next month.
---------------------
Sorry for any inconvenience this causes, but all in all, if you've been keeping track of my old works, and are not interested in request, then this shouldn't concern you. It's just business as usual, and hopefully it can let me produce even bigger stuff in the future!
