🕑 Added 2019-09-22 12:21:24 +0000 UTCBased off of the feedback I received in the questionnaire, I think these are some good changes to put forward:
The main thing that people seem to consistently want is more updates to older characters/ more update in general.
The biggest bottleneck to this are the HD characters. Even using templates it takes forever to build them, so even WIP Progress updates takes a while to reach a point where I can show something noteworthy. With a lot of free time, I can manage to get a good bit done within a month, but with the added burden of college and my research obligations it's gotten to be a bit much to manage. In an effort to make things a lil easier on me until I can get an artist, I have been kicking around the idea of making these changes while incorporating the feedback I received:
Polls:
- Remove Loser's Bracket Poll
This poll was mainly devised to help characters that wouldn't win otherwise get selected, but the side effect is that it protracts the period between votes since technically we'd have 2 winners every poll, which leaves everyone with not much to do besides wait for updates. Removing this, there should be a shorter period between polls. I'll find another way to make it easier for less popular character types to win.
New Poll Type:
Update Request Poll
This poll will work identically to the character nomination poll, except specifically for older characters. Everyone can vote in this poll. Unlike the Character Nomination Poll, everyone gets 1 vote.
----------------------------------
Tier Specific changes:
$1 tier - no change
$5 tier - no change
$10 tier -
-New Perk: Character Update Nomination
Works just like character nomination, but for older charas. Everyone at this tier can nominate a character they want to see updated + the position they would like to have added (Position must already exist, of course)
-New Perk: Position Ponderer Poll (3P)
Members at this tier can suggest how they'd like the pose "variation"("IE, 2nd stage/ahegao, the knock out anims) to be different from the standard position. Suggestions can range from facial expression to variations in the position of arms and legs. This poll can begin for either updated characters or newly nominated ones, where applicable.
_____________________________
$20 tier
-New Perk: Aggressor Update Nomination
Works just like character nomination, but for aggressors (EXCEPT TOBF). Everyone at this tier can nominate a character they want to see updated. Must be an aggressor developed by me.
Super Fan Tier: $45->$30
Max Patron: 12->10 (if you are already in it, you will remain in even if over limit)
-To cut down on workload, 'any character of your choice' will now be 'any low-res character of your choice'
-increase frame # to 6
-Commission discount: 30%->35%
With these changes(primarily by reducing the amount of HD stuff that can be thrown my way at once, I should be able to put out more updates, and do so faster.) My main goal is till to get an artist (once we are around the 2k range), which will also bump up production drastically. Still, it's best if I get you guys' input on things first. So let me know what you think. I won't do anything until next month ( so a bout a week from now).

What tier do I have to be to request Queens blade Cattelya be made by you?
I'll still do them, changing thing like this will make it so they aren't the main focus of releases though (specifically for new chars). So I should be able to make more smaller releases while developing them simultaneously, and not worry about having no release for the month because im still working on them

Yeah, I am aware that HD characters take far more work than low res characters do, thats' just plain unavoidable. While they might have some of the best characters, they could be done once in a while something?
all sounds good. hiring an artist asap is probably the best thing you can aim for and these new rewards sound good so im gonna up my tier again at the end of the month glad the feedback was of use
