UPDATES: ORAS May Wins! + New Goals + More
🕑 Added 2021-01-22 10:12:03 +0000 UTCIt's been roughly around a year since I last sat down to write about updates ever since 2020 opened up with a large earthquake in my area and causing a mess yearlong, so we are going to fix that in tonight!
πIntro
I have decided to revisit my goals entirely. Let's cut to the chase.
2020 has put me on a tough spot for most of its year. But because I had to address that with extreme prejudice, I was able to get some new tools and methods to really bring out even more potential out of my work.
βΌ Videos
This is not a new topic for this page, but we never really addressed it properly. I have decided that from here on, occasional videos/animations will be a thing in both GIF and Video format, thanks to the video embed trick I found out recently.
At the moment, videos will be posted at my own discretion (there's no current obligation). My current interest is to train with them and are not part of any current update or polls anywhere unlike the pic updates. To officially make videos/animations part of the scheduled updates, I will be making a new goal with them in mind!
In Short:
Videos/animations are now part of the current updates "as I see fit". A goal will be made in mind to officially put them as a reward proper (same feedback input as my premium-tier work, are more frequent, higher quality).
βΌ POLL Update: ORAS May is the Winner!
ORAS Version won by exactly one vote so we will be going with that one's overall aesthetic!
$5 Tier will also receive a May I have drawn to warm up for this one when the Twitter Poll Winner update drops this Monday! There will be no plans to releasing this one outside select products in near future.
βΌ Patreon Updates
The Patreon profile will be updated between right now to February 1 to include:
βΎ AFZ Website + Other Sites
A dedicated Carrd website to host a variety of goods such as future commission and Gumroad information, relevant news and a convenient gallery for older works (Main Twitter)!
βΎ Gumroad + DM Rewards System
Certain rewards that are not applicable in the nature of Patreon's system (being more expensive for a monthly reward, for example) will have a Gumroad + Release Date DM Reward option instead.
For example:
- Patreon Exclusive (Long-Term Early Releases may be included) will not have discount codes because the relevant post is already on full display on Patreon. The Gumroad alternative is for the convenience of those not wanting to use Patreon's service (It's also more expensive individually)
- Full Sets such as the upcoming revived project FreedomWAVE will have a 100% Free codes on release date.
- Patrons may be given a monthly code during events for content they might have missed under this system.
This way, I can post more and more relatively elaborate stuff without compromising the limitations of the Patreon system, using the coupon system to allow my patrons to still be able to access these without complicating stuff like additional tiers.
The fact that this allows non-patrons to still access the more exclusive stuff means that this also helps give them more options.
βΎ Goals
Three new goals are now set in place, ranging from the planned goal for videos (and relevant upgrades) as well as finally revealing the entry point to make a certain project finally happen:
π($250/m)π₯Videos/Animations will become part of the regular updates*
*Less than $250/month will get the occasional ones I decide to do on my own schedule and availability. This goal officially puts them as part of the updates.
π($400/m)π₯Video Upgrade: Live2D and other expansions added!
π($500/m)πΌStory: Destiny of Elements
I will be able to fully work on my own fantasy action original story featuring Yuna Mei, where she discovers more about herself and her family's legacy after a legendary encounter with the world's strongest.*
*Will talk in a future post.
-----------------------
2021seems to be a good year to finally get the ball rolling for all the things that 2020 didn't allow me to. I won't go for much longer as I've talked plenty enough as it is right now, but I will see to it to get this all finally sorted out at last!
I will be adding a more abridged copy of this news back on my site after today's update. Look forward to those and I'll see you next update!
