Content

Sorry to load you with textual information in a row, but I'd rather do it, as long as I have a desire / doubt to ask about it now. Last time, question was about the past, now about the future.

Thanks to everyone who supports me!

The price policy of $ 1 per month is small due to use most of models taken in the public domain, which makes it impossible for me to "sell" videos for a certain price to everyone, so you can set any price that seems fair to you.

I could take commercial models, but it would be long and difficult way, much less accessible to wide public distribution, which so far is an important component for me.

Therefore, thanks again to those people who have made any contribution, including in the past, and who continue to do this, (and who will, if read it later) - I live off of this and can continue to create content. There are many more plans ...

Now more specifically: there are people who already pay more than 1 $, and this is very respectful, since I feel a special attitude!

But I don’t have any special additional reward system yet, to make it more attractive.

* I will not be able to do another separate level of bonuses or requests (I can not take on more obligations, above the current level of load).

* I do not distribute models from videos, as I said, I use public models that can be downloaded on owner’s page

Therefore, the question is: are you ready to pay more for support to me, having more opportunities (new tiers)?

It will be something not very specific, but rather general opportunities.

- watching behind the scenes, more cg and so on? (closed group in a discord or something like that?)

- influence in polls regarding the choice of content, extras? (for this I definitely need to narrow circle of participants, otherwise the scope of opinions will be too uncontrolled)

- mention in the credits? (for true associates of imbapovi)


Please share ideas on what I could do, and how much you ready to participate on an ongoing basis mostly?

It may not be urgent with updates, and I would just like to know the general level of interest before doing it (again it will take time, which is currently very short)

My problem is this: I support several creators on Patreon and while I would love to give all of them more money, I can't so I prefer to support more creators for less than only support a few for more. I am sure I'm not unique in this situation.

PuffyLover1

If there are rewards above (like especially the discord group).I would certainly try it.

Glaciepuff

I love your work, will the 1$ tier be staying for those who want only access to videos/bonus clips?

imbapovi

imbapovi will go to the discord, an event of the 21st century 😅

Shelved Oddities

Behind the scenes and more CG, yes! I'd also love the discord group!

Tristan McKenzie O'Meara

I regretfully can only pay 1$. With everyone else I support on Patreon and the other things I pay for, I can't exsctly afford higher tiers.....

DragonHeart53

Can you make the video idea instead of a tier, a one time deposit, with a limit per month based on your projected work load? (can be modified monthly if the work load was more than expected)

imbapovi

I noted there that I am not able to take any more execution of special ideas of one particular person. The current one place is already 25% of my capabilities at best.

Alex Watson

I think it’s best for now that you stay with $1 until covid-19 starts to die down and people start to get there jobs back after that then start upping the charged along with when you are going to make a character I think making a pull of what type of expansion most people would like for that character would be a good idea

Metro

A discord sounds like a great idea to me. You can converse with patrons and stuff like that. But until the Covid-19 crisis is out of the way,I’d say wait for some time to allow others to get their jobs back but I’m all for a patron only discord

imbapovi

So I made a vote to find out how many people are ready for it "right now". This is not a one-time action.

imbapovi

Thanks for the advice! Something like an idea with a character / action will be used. As for the virus, this is uncertain. So I made a vote to observe the dynamics. Normal (current) content mostly remains unchanged

ZekeStaright

I can pay $5 for polling privileges.

Forge Samson

Lol I thought I was on the $5 tier to be honest

Forge Samson

I think $5 with polling / voting would be an awesome idea

Darryl Couch

I'm cool with voting for new vids or doing like a raffle that allows upper-tier users to choose an idea.

guitarman80's

i think that putting a $5 for just a polling/voting would be something that i would like to see

Luca Soulstream

Dude your talent is incredible and as long as there is quality, maybe min and minute and a half bonus scenes. Like there is now, I wouldnt mind paying the 5 a month to it. As long as we are taken care of. But just understand that with making almost quadruple off your fans and followers supporting you, you gotta make it worth it for us too. (Keeping the content coming and all that)!

Shadow

How about a monthly raffle you know somebody can suggest a theme or something for upcoming videos that’s my idea anyway.

imbapovi

raffle prohibited for use on patron (Terms of use), as for voting, I don’t know yet how to do it for a low tier, where may be many people (harder to agree on an opinion that everyone will like)

imbapovi

as I said, due to the terms of use of the models, I can’t sell content, this is considered a reward for the fact of any support, and not for special price. therefore, it’s more difficult for me to come up with what I could offer for a higher tier

Arielle Cutlass

I wish that we could have like 1$ 2$ 3$ 4$ etc... Even if some tier have the same bonus ~that allow people to have an easy acces to your content but they can support your more if they want :) Like, i would pay 2 or 3 $ but 5 starts to be a price ~ With 1000+ patron paying just 1$ more, it changes the game completely, while i will not pay 5$ :/ You're one of the rare patreon i support due to this low price :)

Gino Bagnino

Hi Imba! I had to vote the first option, but only because you haven't put a tier between 2 and 5$. Personally i'm able to support you a bit more, like 2-3$ for month, but i can't pay more than 4$. If all your patreons that now pay 1$ would pay 2$ you'll double your monthly income an would be a lot of money (from 1700$ to more than 3000$)!

While polling seems to be a common word on many people's lips what people want it feels more like what people are saying is "I want more control" for the majority. While this isn't necessarily a bad thing is does take a lot of choice out of your hands. But short of increasing your workload with additional work the only incentive I can think of for additional pledges might be showing WIPs, the scenes played from different angles or maybe a "snap shot" selection from the video with fun moments such as when clothing tears (or just before), finale shots or maybe even a simple pinup shot which could also double as a title picture for when you post the video to youtube? Not sure how much extra work those things would involve. Oh, but needless to say I am happy to continue my support long term, regardless of what you do or do not change.

imbapovi

Hello! You can edit your pledge for any amount. 1$ means any number from 1 to infinity (you decide)

imbapovi

Hello! Thank you. Yes, I see what is the matter, although sometimes I indicated this in posts. It is not necessary to have tiers 1, 2, 3 and beyond. You can edit pledge in the settings for any amount above 1

imbapovi

Great words! Exactly what I think about voting - is more an illusion of choice, since the losing part will be unhappy. If these are people who are interested in something less popular, they will never win. Therefore, vote "what to do next" in general is bad way, so I will choose the main topisc myself as always. Perhaps voting will be good for bonuses that are not so difficult to do, and sometimes I really don’t know what to do there. And WIPs, screenshots and more - that’s exactly what I definitely plan to do

not expandinator

I would love to learn MMD! Maybe some behind the scenes tutorials? I would definitely pay more for this! $1 a month is a very generous price to charge because your work is amazing!

Hi Imbapovi You could offer a livestream only for Patreon e.g. via YT by showing how you create your projects. it would be interesting to look behind the scenes. Thiridian has also made such streams on YT from time to time where it was simply drawn. You could also make video tutorials on the topics. they don't have to go 30minutes now, but about 2-3minutes. where you explain how to do something. Sorry for my bad English thats was create with a translater. Best Regards Beni1194

imbapovi

I can’t do the “tutorials” because they already exist. Hundreds of them. I use MMD for animation, Blender for 3D modeling. There is no specific "how to do expansion", but this is obvious, being able to use both. The biggest problem is I am not English speaking, I cannot explain it freely

imbapovi

I already tried to make a stream 1 time, and it was very unsuccessful, I could not concentrate at all. Secondly, I would already do streams often, of any subject, even games, given the number of subscribers on the channel, but the big problem is that I am not English-speaking (I speak very badly), and I do not want silent streams. Therefore, there are no "tutorials" either. I plan ... to solve this language problem someday. So far, the plan is to create a group in the discord, where I will keep track of progress every day (behind the scenes)

Admiralbiatch2

One thing I would like is if we could request a cg, say, every two months. Also, if we can vote on the themes for the next video and whatnot and have it to where last month's selection has a cooldown period of 1 month to allow other ideas to have a chance to appear. And lastly, maybe have a tier which has videos with more lewd scenes added onto the existing one.

imbapovi

CG option does not suit me well for two reasons. As I said, I can’t "sell" 3D content at any certain price for 1 person, as this will be outside the rules of use of most of public models, as I believe. But most importantly, if we are talking about something new and special, this is not an easy job with 3D modeling and effects mainly, so I don’t want to spend time on this just for the sake of a “pictures”. Usually it takes longer, but it’s more efficient to make a video, even simple one, than only cg. Leaving a cooldown in voting is a good idea, but only if the losing option is only partially behind. As for lewd ones - yes, in polls, if most of users will be interested. This will be highly specialized content.
