MEMBERS! Lock in a copy of Control Panel - (this is good till the movie's release so get on it!)
🕑 Added 2025-04-26 13:00:15 +0000 UTCWant to lock a copy of Control Panel for you RIGHT NOW?! Read on!
READ EVERYTHING BEFORE COMMENTING! This mostly is for my Animation Tiers but I want to put it out there to all my kind supporters!
We did it before and it seemed to go over well so let's do it again!
This offer is for ALL Animation tiers!
Control Panel is our current movie.
This movie will take 2-3 months to complete due to the amped up animation workload
I realize some people might end up coming and going during that time and NOT get the movie since they may not be subscribed during release month
THAT SAID - I aim to give my supporters the BEST VALUE POSSIBLE and I've an idea how the above people can get a copy!
If you have any questions please message me here!
READ ON!!!
First, I want to be clear - the movie will show up here and on all my membership sites AS USUAL on release! That will not change. What I'm talking about is for those who might only be around for one or two months during the three month development and might still want a copy. Normally that's a bit of tough luck but I think I have a workaround that involves Itch.io. Please realize I'm doing my best and working with the tools I have. I don't take your support or money lightly.
IMPORTANT NOTE - this offer is really geared for the people dipping in and out over the next few months in the Animation Tiers (Movie of the Month and VIP) AND who might want access to the NEXT movie - Control Panel!
OK here we go with the situations and solutions:
Situation 1 - You are a CURRENT Movie of the Month or VIP subscriber and might not be subscribed to any of my membership sites when Stacked releases - THIS POST IS FOR YOU!
Situation 2 - You are a CONSTANT Movie of the Month or VIP subscriber and plan to keep it that way - this idea won't affect you much but it's there if you want it. This post can help you secure an Itch.io copy just in case.
Situation 3 - You're just a generous soul who likes to support your old pal Ready and don't care about the movie. THANK YOU but feel free to get a copy regardless.
Solution - PATREON MEMBERS - this is simple. Go to this link and you can immediately get a "pre-order" of the movie on Itch.
YOU WILL NEED A FREE ITCH ACCOUNT.
You will need to be a CURRENT VIP or Movie of the Month Subscriber for the linking to work (it's all handled by Itch folks)
NOTES:
This offer is good from now TILL MOVIE RELEASE! When the movie is out we will revert to the normal distribution method.
I am looking at adopting this policy for all future "big" projects.
If you are a constant subscriber or plan to join when the movie releases this offer won't be that big a deal since you will get the movie through the membership site.
Currently this offer is only open to Animation Tier members but if there is interest from folk who might want to support with purchasing an early copy via Itch I can look into that.
I do have a similar offer going on my other membership sites
Folks, I am workshopping this idea so BEAR WITH ME! if you have any issues - post a comment or message me.
This is really my way of giving YOU the best value I can. I know I would appreciate this offer if I was subscribing to a multi month project so HERE YOU GO! LOVE YOU!
Sound good? Comments or questions welcome!

Great point and there are a few things to unpack in a reply. One, and this is probably the most germane, the Itch unlock is entirely optional and a bonus feature/reward meant for those who might dip in and out of their memberships. The movies have always and will continue to be available here on Patreon for direct download. Two, as you point out, it is required to have an account simply for security and assurance that the one person who has an account HERE is verified for the download THERE. I looked at the other methods via Itch and the amounted to basically handing out a free key ANYONE could use or redistribute for a free download. All that said, I am 100% committed to making things as easy for you and everyone when it comes to downloads. It's possible we can offer a similar thing with the reopened Patreon shop but I want to let things stabilize a bit with the reopen before testing things out. Appreciate the longtime support and if you have any further questions or comments feel free to reply here or message me directly. -Ready

Just my two cents, I'm not a huge fan of the Itch redirection. They require account creation which is just another password to remember and another service that can get hacked.
