Upcoming changes...
🕑 Added 2017-09-02 02:39:21 +0000 UTC I'll have a more thorough post explaining things up in a bit, but I wanted to get this up as soon as I could.I had made the text post on thursday detailing how I was feeling while in a real low spot. At work, tired, frustrated, just wanted to run away from literally everything I had going. After talking with Suichi and reading the abundance of supportive comments, I think the best course of action will be to change how I do things here and tweak what I offer.
First off, what's staying the same:
You will still get the monthly zip packs of everything I've done over the month. Hi-res for $5+backers, and websized for everyone else.
Tier prices aren't changing and no new tiers are being added.
Now a quick overview of changes:
I'm going to be stopping the raffle streams. They're not fair to everyone so I don't want to continue them as a thing that's a part of patronage here. Also, currently, I can't stream, and that puts a big damper on them.
This means my milestone goals are going to change. I'm going to have to figure out what I can do based on my current abilities and time and then set some new ones.
Also, the suggestion thread will be phased out as a regular thing after this month. There will be some community input however, but it's going to come in the form of polls/votes on content and or characters.
I'll have the august zip packs up tomorrow along with hopefully a more detailed and thorough rundown of the changes here.
Thanks for sticking around as long as you guys have

This all sounds sensible and reasonable to me. Looking forward to taking part in the polls!

Glad to hear things are a little clearer for you now Rab, hopefully things will continue to work out from here.

Sounds like a great idea! Something that can get everyone involved and hopefully much less stressful for you. :)

For the best. Contests & lotteries/raffles bring out the worst in people.

Sounds good Rab

I like the idea about voting for characters or themes, where you can put down a few ideas that interest you and the community can help you hone in on which ones to do first with the votes perhaps. Still inclusive, but without being exclusive of others! :) I'm very glad to hear that you've bounced back from the darker place that sparked the last message - it's not an easy thing to deal with ever, but I know there are a lot of people who are glad you're around and glad to help support you and your work, raffles or no. There's NOTHING wrong with evolving the Patreon to suit what you want it to be over time, and here's looking forward to the next phase - one that hopefully helps you feel a lot better about everything. :) Also, here's hoping your stream-ability comes back too - the weekends were always a great time to hang out with everyone for a few hours of fun!!
