[POLL] Voice shout outs and video credits
🕑 Added 2020-12-09 16:29:57 +0000 UTCHey everybody! As you know a staple of my videos is rolling off a credits a reel of all you awesome folk who funded the video and allowed it to exist. Acknowledging you for this is super important to me.
When I first started doing these credits I had (and expected to maintain) a fairly small number of $20 supporters yet this number has... grown. Substantially. It is starting to consume quite a lot of time at the end of videos and I'm starting to worry it is bloating the content. Not to mention I'm pretty sure I am butchering most of your names.
In multi-part series especially it seems like this is wasted time where I could be pointing you directly at the next episode. Therefore I'm considering creating an alternative "Credits lite" section at the end of multi-part series at least that just shows names, quickly plugs the patreon and gets out of the way. A little bit like my old style where I used to just show a big collage of the names at the end, but a bit fancier and would still highlight the upper tier supporters in some stand-out way.
I think this would make the endings a bit more streamlined and also more modular and easier for me to re-use from video to video.
However I don't want to reduce value for my top supporters and at the same time I don't know how many of you notice (or care) about this aspect of the reward. So I'm not really committing to any decision yet and this isn't a "final-decision-making" poll, I just want to ask your thoughts so I know how you feel in a general sense. Comments would be appreciated!

I'm happy with just a tiny little text credit :) it's nice to see my name pop up on the screen but other than that I just enjoy supporting your content
Honestly, I just want to get some knowledge and skills of making games from your teaching.
