Patreon Changes - Please read :)

Hey guys! So recently i've been feeling pretty overworked. And since you guys are awesome enough to support me i wanted to put this by you guys first. As you guys know i make a lot of content for my patreon but honestly i feel like i've yet to reach that sweet spot with it. Which means more people joining, more interest, growth etc.

I've been doing this since 2016 (crazy i know!) but i've never really had any substantial growth. Whilst the image packs are great to encourage new people, they tend to leave and go as soon as i post them. Making this feel more like a 'shop' rather than someone who wants to help me out. (Not that i'm complaining! Its just not what i really want my patreon to be!)

Games Dev & $5 Tier

As you guys know i aim to try and provide you all with a demo of my latest game each month. And honestly on top of my workload its been proving harder and harder. Also the lack of feedback on my projects is pretty disheartening. I'm tempted to either remove that tier or alter it. I don't want to provide you guys with (what feels like to me) a rushed demo with say only 3 or four little changes a month. (What do you guys think about this?) If you guys stay silent i'll just assume you are all fine with that idea remove it at the end of the month. (So you might want to alter your pledges to the $1 tier) ^_^

Bronze Tier $10

This is my most popular tier and with good reason! Nothing beats some exclusives and i'm happy to still create some for this site. It is a little upsetting that once the month is over thats it for those images. And the amount of times that people have tried to pirate and steal them is beyond. (Trust me you'd be surprised.) When i first started the image packs i would create 9! Yes 9! Images a month and that really took its toll on me. My limit right now is 6. but honestly i'm considering reducing it again further perhaps to 4-5 so it works out about $2 per picture and the comics early from the previous reward (since we get 3 pages a month early too!) Since this tier is my most popular and generates the most income i don't really want to shoot myself in the foot with it! So let me know what you think.

I feel like i've rambled on enough for now but there are other issues i do want to voice in future. 

Whats the end goal? What do i want from my Patreon.

-To be able to create comics/games about my characters. Said projects will eventually be free for everyone to play and read.

-Some little patreon exclusives that would feature my ocs.

As you can see my end goals are pretty small, all the free content does really rely on the generosity of others donations/pledges etc but i feel like i might be able to achieve it eventually. We’ll see. Baby steps first!
