Hi everyone,
With October almost upon us I wanted to take the time to explain important details of how things are going to work here on Patreon going forward, plus some general plans for this month’s content.
1: The New Tier, Gumroad and Discount System
As you should now see, the previous tier setup has been removed, and replaced with a single ‘Maniac!’ tier, to the value of $6.40.
A huge thank you to those who have already switched over to it, and for the encouraging supportive messages.
My reason for making this change is to allow myself more scope with deadlines, and less restrictions on what and how I'd like to present what I create. Recently the feeling that I -must- produce a few comics every month, or x-amount of sequences, artworks, etc has become creatively exhausting for me. The goal with this new tier is to transform my Patreon into a support platform for my work, in the true spirit of the site, with all acquiring of content occurring instead over on Gumroad. No more emails with drops.
In exchange for your up-front support, you will receive Patron-exclusive discounts on new Artworks, Sequences, Comics each month over on Gumroad. The discount will be to the value of the ‘Maniac!’ tier here on Patreon, $6.40, with the code supplied to you here either in a post or Messages each month, whatever makes the most sense, when the content is ready. This should equate to an approximate 50% discount on future ‘Collection’ packs. With this in place my Patreon simply becomes a hub for updates, chat, previews/teasers, announcements on new available content, etc.
For those still supporting me in the $10-$15 range, there is no particular benefit to doing so anymore, unless you simply want to. I will still provide you with the same discount as those on the ‘Maniac!’ tier. Those in the $1-$5 range will not see posts / receive messages containing discount codes. Either way, higher or lower, I recommend switching to the new tier asap.
2: One Year Later
This month marks the first anniversary of my existence as MonoManiac, and I’d like to celebrate it in some way. Feeling a bit nostalgic for how excited I was leading up to the launch, I’m currently playing around with ‘throwback’ concepts, looking back on the ideas that got me started while asking ‘What If?’ So expect new variations, and developments, on old ideas. Will it be any good? I don’t really know.. but I think it’ll be fun to try out.
3: Spooktober
I really wanted to try out Halloween themed ideas this time last year, but didn’t have time as I prioritised artworks for the launch. This year will be different, so expect to see the girls experiencing some spooky concepts, wearing kinky costumes, and getting involved in general silliness before the month’s out.
4: Experiments
Last but not least, I’m going to be trying out different means of pushing my little stories forward. Some of your suggestions have been exactly what I’ve had in mind, so those of you itching for updates on your favorite girl(s) won’t be left in the cold.
That’s all I have for now, as usual if you have any questions feel free to drop me a message and I’ll help however I can.
Thanks everyone.
Love,
Mono
