Content

First of all, I just want to thank you for all the beautiful comments you left on my last post three months ago, I read all of them and I'm very grateful for your kind words.

I didn't reply to any comments because I wanted to wait until I had good news before talking about this again, and guess what, I finally have some good news.


Huge Health Improvement, Both Physically and Mentally.

For the last 3 months I have been exercising diligently and consistently, only resting on Sundays, that has been my number one priority, I have also been eating very clean, and the results are incredible, no more soreness, no more anxiety, and no more negative thoughts. The only downside to all of this is that now I have this weird obsession with gym equipment.


Collaborations

I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, I don't want to talk too soon but I don't think 2022 will end without me delivering all the collaborations. I'm crossing my fingers on that.


Changes to Patreon Rewards in 2023

I've been thinking about it a lot, and the changes might be even more drastic than I thought, for example I've been considering ditching all the Level 3, Level 4, and Level 5 tiers entirely and instead posting 5 daily pics for Level 2, that would mean that the highest tier of my Patreon would be only $5 usd.

That's going to be a massive hit for sure when it comes to revenue, but I don't really care, because I have a vision of what the future of my content is going to be, and it's awesome, and fun, and complicated, and it's going to require a tremendous amount of learning, and focus and discipline, and consistency... and all the struggle that makes living exciting.


Animation is The Future of Mango3D

If there's one skill set I want to master before I die, it's 3D animation, I think it's one of those things you can never be good enough at, and that's my kind of shit.

No, I don't want to make janky five second loops of two characters hitting each other, I want to tell a story, I want to learn more than just animation, I want to learn about cinematography, audio production, VFX, everything that can help me create a product that I can be proud of. I just want to make cool stuff.


Conclusion

I'm here to stay, and yes, I have big plans for the future, but learning everything I need will take me years, besides, it's not just learning, I need to practice too, so I'm thinking... 5 or 6 years in the best case scenario, that is more than enough time to finish all the projects I have currently going. So if all goes well, there will be Mango3D for quite a while.


- Extra juicy Mango.

I believe you can do it and am happy to help in anyway I’m able. The loss of tiers will suck as someone who enjoys the content but as someone who enjoys the creator more I prefer you work on stuff you want to work on and be able to actually enjoy life while doing it.

When Mangos have plans for future, they have to take care. Somebody comes, eats the Mango, and this was it. :-)

First of all I am glad that your health has improved. That's the best news of your post, and I think I speak for the entire community when I say that I wish that you stay healthy for the rest of your life. You want to get rid of three tiers? Wow, that's a huge step, but I fully understand that. I cancelled four tiers a few years ago, and I never looked back. You made the right decision. Animations are what I would like to do, too, but I just don't have enough time. I have a day job that consumes a lot of time, and there is little left only for creating stuff. So, at the moment I can do pictures only. Animations just take too long to make. I'm curious about what you will come up with in the future. 🙂

Great to hear the Mangoverse will live on.

I'm glad to hear that you're in a much better state than before. As a nurse, I'm sometimes offered extra pay for extra work but easily turn it down if I'm overworked or just have better things to do with my personal time. Vocation is important but so are recreation and education.

Excellent news, all of them. I hope you an make your expectations about your work come true, and surely continue supporting you as long as I can. Also, more selfishly perhaps, I hope commissions return soon :) Stay safe and well.

As a tier-user for a couple of years now (you and shinji drew me into the Patreon world!), I always thought too many tiers and programs is unnecessarily complicated and cumbersome. But it might yield a bit more money, I get it. I am sure you'll find the best way around it, as membership in "mangoverse" is a lot more juicy than in other universes.

Great to hear you are feeling much better and looking ahead what ever you do I’m sure will be wonderful!

Mango3D

Thank you for your good wishes my friend. Health is a big priority for me now, I want to keep making content for a long time, and for that I guess I have to stay alive first. xD

Mango3D

Indeed, I used to not take days off in order to be "productive" but I found out that taking one day off a week busts my productivity even more than if I didn't.

Mango3D

Thank you my friend, but I have to tell you, there will be no commissions for a while, I've been doing so much custom work for the last year and a half, I'll have to take a long break from that.

Mango3D

Yeah, I want to tighten things up a little bit, but I need to think really hard about what I'm going to do.

Mango3D

Thank you, I hope so, all I know is that I will try my best. =D
