I'll start mailing cups of coffee with every post

I would love for you to serve us coffee.

-Yeah I do private compositions/commissions. One of the games I'm working on, the guy just commissions one song a month from me. It's honestly been a huge help these past 6 months or so for financial stability. So maybe I will have to consider doing more stuff like that. -Doing vids for my comps is a thought. My only concern is that I tend to go crazy with my editing, so that could balloon out of control real quick. Maybe if I stream them without edits, that may be doable...

Yeah, honestly I'm leaning towards that option and seeing how it goes. It shouldn't be too much extra work, since I'd basically just have to write a post once and then use it across both platforms. Glad to hear it though man. You've been with me since day 1 on this platform, and I'm so very grateful for it. :D

She really is! I wish I could posts pictures for replies, bc I've got the best pic of her and one of my other cats.

I'm just glad my finances got back to a point where I could support you again! I'll get my dream project done someday and I'm happy that your music will be a part of it

Good update! I don't have any suggestions off the top of my head. I'm not too familiar with Ko-fi, but I know that some of my streamer buddies use it. If fully migrating from Patreon to Ko-fi is daunting at the moment, why not do both? I guess that COULD be a fair bit of work though to maintain both. Whatever and wherever you go though, you've got my support!

So some ideas... - Do you do private compositions? Say someone asks for a song made specifically for their project at a higher cost? I know it increases your workload, but it would provide a higher revenue stream on top of your existing work. - what about a tier on patreon for making of videos? Like while you are making the songs, simply have a screen capture showing how you made a certain element of a song? If I think of anything else, I'll throw it out there!

Thanks for the feedback Andrew! Yeah I'm really torn on the Kofi thing so thats why I wanted to get y'alls input. But glad to hear you feel that way. :D Some more "Quest Complete" jingles isn't a bad idea, I haven't done any of those for quite some time, so that's a great suggestion. Thanks again man, I really do appreciate it!

Hi, thanks for the video! For me if you were on kofi and that supported you more by taking less percent I would switch . It sounds like more work for you tho but you’d know more than I would if it’s worth it? I really appreciate you sharing your music with us and don’t want to give too specific suggestions because it could impact the creativity, I like that you can create what you want. That said i personally would love some short little “quest complete “ etc type music. I believe you have a few as a bonus which I use, but I’d love more. Also since you already have so many songs posted , maybe it’s be less work for a post? Anyway thanks !

Thanks Jeff, I appreciate it brother! :D
