Hard to find recent game update releases? Poll
🕑 Added 2020-06-16 00:31:00 +0000 UTCThis might be an odd poll and one that's not really too fun to engage with, but I'm curious as I've noticed at times supporters leaving and mentioning either they didn't receive rewards, or didn't like the benefits with their support tier either because of not receiving rewards or another reason? I have seen some leave due to "lack of content", which can be it's own thing to tackle, as it could be "not enough new days added" vs "I thought there was going to be a lot of sex stuff?" etc.
Mainly this poll is just to help take in feedback from our supporters and previous supporters who are still following us. We're trying to keep information as simple and easy to find as we personally can within what we're given by patreon to use.
We'd just like to make sure if there's certain things that are or aren't working, we can look into making it easier for everyone.
(some mentions below to note.)
-We can pin exactly one post at the top of our news feed, normally this is our monthly Q&A poll post for a given month. But I wonder if maybe having our normal, let's say update 0.11 release post pinned there instead or any future update release posts. Would this help and be better for the masses? (this means the Q&A poll would instead get lost in our feed)
-We try to have all our links to release posts, public and patreon only on our "About Messy Academy" section of the page. But I'm wondering how many know about this or if it slips under their noses? Etc.
-Towards the end of a given month, I try to post a few new posts that give a heads up warning to everyone that new game releases are coming out and on which date, etc. I'm wondering if this helps anyone greatly to be reminded or if we should also remind newcomers the following month "Hey just by the way, check out "Link" to download the recently released game download for your reward." etc.

Just a small update. Later tonight I will have a guide post pinned that features what I believe is the most important links to everything from releases, news, etc. It should hopefully be easy and simple to read and offer a great way for many to easily check the pinned guide post for anything they've missed recently with how I plan on updating it. ^^
Glad to hear that! ^^ I'm hoping we're doing our best with this regard, I do think moving forward. We'll do what is mentioned by Jonathan for the pinned message, it'll be along the lines of a guide post that hosts many important things in it. Any links to other posts will still require certain support tiers to see them, but it should make things nice I hope.
I find it very obvius when a new Game Version is released, you create always multiple reminder posts on patreon and each one also creates an email.
That's a very good idea actually! I'm a bit embarrassed it's something that didn't quite pop to mind when thinking about possible options, but a guide post or one that has a general idea of stuff going on would be very useful.

Since you are limited to a single pinned post, it seems to me like a useful way to go about that might be perhaps a monthly "guide post" could be pinned and updated as needed, with links to the current builds for public and supporters, the monthly Q&A post, posts relevant to supporters, and any other things you wish to direct folks' attention to. You could do this sort of thing in addition to the methods you are already using and suggesting in these polls (the about page, reminder posts, PMs, etc.)
