Patreon 1.5 - The revision patch
Added 2017-09-14 16:11:19 +0000 UTCThe big new start for this patreon is FINALLY here.
First things first, let's just kill the elephant in the room: I have been away from patreon. Yes. Why? About a month ago a friend informed me that the content posted here, some being limited for patrons only, was getting uploaded somewhere else, which I have checked and to my surprise they even share the full posts with the text and the content attached (to the pirates: If you guys update, just know I know you're watching and that I hope you enjoy my stuff ;). In a nutshell, patreon piracy. Now I'm not going to bitch about piracy, I've done my fair share of that, but it opened my eyes on how I was limiting some content to patrons only and, don't get me wrong here, I think you lot deserve getting special content, but I don't want to limit it behind a pay wall.
That is why I went quiet so I could reviewed the full patreon system I implemented back in the day, and re-wrote it [I'm sorry it took so long]
"Well alright Psyk, so what's new?" - You, just now.
The new stuff includes a revisit to the patreon theme and besides the new icons, I reworked the rewards as well (patrons on $15; $25; $60 tiers do not change)
>$1 tier - You will now have basic access to the patreon feed. You will be able to download the content here just like you would on my tumblr.
>$5 tier - Get Early access to the final picture and it's W.I.P.s; get involved on the polls and future plans for tutorials\content.
I removed some rewards I was giving out for the $5 tier as I wasn't doing them, in exchange I have put up new rewards that will actually have use of the patreon features for the patrons who want something more.
Patron rewards on discord didn't have any change besides their names.
"Anything else? This seems almost nothing." - You, maybe.
I have been wanting to fix Patreon and my schedule in general for a while and if you are on Discord and follow my posts there, I mentioned how I even put 2 white boards next to my computer to help fix the posting schedule and, in general, the stuff I have to do. Well, this is what I have been planning:
>Every week, there will be a full rendered picture posted, followed by 3 sketches. Monday will have said full rendered pictures, and then Tue, Thu and Fri will have the sketches. $5 tier will have from a day up to a week of early access and W.I.P.s. By the end of the month though everything will be posted for free for everyone. This will give a steady stream of content throughout the following months.
>I wish to stream more, but as my PC is showing it's limits, it will be really hard to stream anything properly. I am working on some commissions on the side to upgrade my computer so I can stream without performance impacts.
"And there's still more to come!" -Me
One of the later plans I have is to reorganise the tag system so it's easiter to go around the content posted before this. This is something I'll be doing slowly, so be patient please.
..... and that's all! Thank you for reading all of this. The new schedule will have it's full effect starting the next monday (18/09) and feel free to pass by the discord! Link below
And again, Thank you for reading! :)
