About the Early Supporter Tiers (Important - Please Respond)
🕑 Added 2021-03-02 16:35:11 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
The Patreon's been going for a while and I couldn't be more grateful for all your support. It means the world to me that you decided to put your trust in me. For people like you, I set up the experimental early supporter tiers, which essentially allowed you to get commissions at a deep discount as a reward for your generous early support. It's been a pleasure bringing all your new, fun and sexy ideas to life.
Sadly, my busy schedule has made it difficult to fit all the requests in, with progress on my own projects (like the upcoming new Deanna sequence and animation) slowing down more than I'd like. The time I invest in each request becomes harder to justify as my schedule fills up more and more, but I absolutely want to continue offering you art for your support. To make it viable and fit it into my schedule in a way that won't burn me out, something will have to change, and that's what this poll is for. I've worked out a few possible solutions that would take some weight off of me.
Now, don't worry - I'm not going to make any sudden changes. When and if I've made a decision, I will let you know at least a month or two beforehand so you don't suddenly lose access to the promised benefits. With that out of the way, these are the possible solutions:
- Increase the prices of the early supporter tiers. This solution would keep everything the same, just increase the price. For example, the sketch tier would go from $1 to $2, the next tier would go from $5 to $8-10 and the third tier would go from $20 to $25-30. The major hurdle is that it requires me to delete the existing tiers and make new ones, forcing you to resubscribe. Please only vote for this option if you're explicitly okay with that.
- Downscale the content of the early supporter tiers. This solution keeps prices the same, but slightly decreases the amount of content for each tier. For example: The sketch tier will be torso up/simple designs only, and the $5 and $20 dollar tiers will have 3 panels per sequence instead of 4. I personally favor this solution because it solves the problem and maintains the status quo without forcing you to resubscribe or forcing me to delete and remake tiers.
- Reduce the frequency of the requests. This solution keeps the prices and content the same, but you would get a request once every 2 months of support, instead of every month. In a way, this increases the price without increasing the price.
- Other solutions. These are the possible solutions that spring to mind, but it's very possible you have a better idea. Any suggestions for changing the tiers are welcome!
I'm a little nervous about posting this, but it would be such a load off my mind if I could make even a small adjustment to the tiers. Please don't hesitate to let me know what you think, and remember, nothing's changing yet.
Thank you for your time, have a lovely day!
