Hey everyone! Hope you guys are all staying safe and clean through this Corona Quarantine! So we're not going to beat around the bush. We've currently unlocked all tiers in case things get...well worse. I'm unsure how many people are going to be out of jobs or heavily impacted due to this outbreak. I also don't wish to be THAT GUY that continued to profit off of people and have them worry about feeding their families. So, if for whatever reason you need to make that financial decision to save a few bucks. We completely understand. The Issue 6 Variants are in que to be printed as soon as our printer returns to work April 6th. We're going to play this by ear, but by mid-April this outbreak isn't contained, what will happen is I'll put Patreon into a "vacation mode" and no one should be charged anything in May.
Pros: You won't have to change tiers or do anything other than just wait for the outbreak to be over and we'll come back. think of it like a freeze.
Cons: Luigi and Raven still have to be paid, and that's a minimum of $1.5k I'll be funding out of pocket to keep this going.
That being said, it has been proposed for you guys to make that decision. So just cast your vote in the comments below and Duane will get that back to me.
Meanwhile, there have been some concerns over Sailor Ragowski and what that style is/isn't going to look like. Basically, Sailor Ragowski is going to be done up in Luigi's Manga style as "bonus story." As such, the prologue will be included as a bonus for Issue 7. This will NOT go to retail / AP as I feel I've given retail enough of what should've been Patreon only and we're actively rectifying that. This also means, that Sailor Ragowki won't go to "print" until it's first initial chapter / arc is complete. So while this may increase our timelines, significantly, know that Sailor Ragowski will be packaged as a bonus only. Where exactly we place this bonus story is what's being discussed and up in the air i.e $Digital tier, or $10 tier...when we have a solid finalized plan, we will update you.
Speaking of updates if you like the new Update Announcement meme board style please let me know in the comments. Special thanks to Ninja Robert (discord) for you assistance on this. Also to Citizen for that Sailor Ragowski starburst tweak.

2020-03-30 22:30:47 +0000 UTCEverything I do involves working at home, so I probably won't need to change anything for a bit. I'm glad you are letting people drop out who need to. Survival is the most important thing right now.
