[Blog] Quick Update
🕑 Added 2022-06-13 18:20:44 +0000 UTCEarlier this month, I opened off-stream commissions during a limited time - just to test it out. I raised the minimum price to $200, so I was earning approx. 60% more.
I didn't necessarily get more offers than I might've during a stream, but I did ultimately have to take less because of the price. I could probably take a few more, but I'd like to focus on some other work right now. That said, I should probably do this more often.
What's Next?
My primary focus for the rest of the month will be on comic & game development, I think.
I haven't opened GameMaker for a few weeks... While it's good to take a break (since I was feeling a bit discouraged), I need to make sure I'm consistently working as to not break my momentum. Thankfully, I commented my code well enough that being away hasn't caused me to forget anything. A few bugs have popped up, but I'll continue working on the engine and deal with bugs later.
Anyway, don't forget to eat & sleep.

I always tried to keep my prices affordable, but I had to charge more because off-stream commissions take longer. That's really all there is to it.

i've never heard of charging less for not streaming commissions before

I'm an idiot and didn't even think to ask if you were willing to take them when we talked about it. If you're still game, lemme know - I'm more than happy with that price, and I'm cool with waiting until you reopen them again.
