Big Important changes!
Added 2025-09-17 20:50:05 +0000 UTCEDIT: So folks are misunderstanding- I'm not raising the rates whatsoever, I'm lowering them for everyone by 2 dollars a month and adding some new tiers for a different comic you don't have to support.
Hey all! So a deadline for this patreon to switch to per-month is coming up quick. As you know this patreon has been per-creation, it helps with missing a page here or there and lets folks set a minimum they'd like to donate. Patreon technically has mostly switched to a per-month charge due to some Apple store bullshittery already, with people like me dragging my heels because per-creation just works better for my needs.
That being said, there's gonna be some big reforms going on that I think'll streamline things. Currently, our tiers are 2 bucks a page, 5 bucks a page, and 10 bucks a page, with an average of 6 pages per month, that's 12, 30 and 60. I've also been doing a second comic, Big Heart, that I'd like to help boost stuff on here and in talking with the discord, have a plan.
Everyone will be switched to a 10 dollar a MONTH Caelum Sky tier when we swap to our monthly thang next month. You were at 12 dollars a month. This is good! I'm lowering the cost!I am also no longer going to do thursdays as I'm ragged, so 4-5 Caelum Sky pages per month for 10 usd.
I'm opening a new 10 dollar Big Heart tier for folks that just want to support that comic. Same deal, these will be every Friday so about 4-5 pages per month for 10 usd.
and FINALLY, i'll open a $15 USD a month tier to support both comics. So that'll be 8-10 pages a month at a discount.
This does mean no more 5 dollar per and 10 dollar merch per tiers anymore. I'll send out one last blast of merch to my 10 dollar folks that qualify before we switch over at the end of the month. DM's should be going out shortly for those.
Lastly, the name of the patreon will be "supporting ALRadeck" and not just "supporting caelum sky" since we'll have the two comics on there. Which speaking of, you can read 6 pages for free of Big Heart on the comic site. When we have the designated tier, I'll be working to get ahead and posting future pages on there so we'll have a buffer like caelum sky does.
OH. Double lastly, I'm going to be going to Japan for 17 days at the end of october till mid november. I'm gonna be working to get my pages ready for that before I leave, so you probably won't notice much, I'll just have things scheduled and hopefully all done.
Please let me know your thoughts on this!

Okay so currently you're paying 12 for the month. I've only been made aware that some folks are signing up at 12 and only paying 2, is that what you mean? If so then I cannot support myself at 2 dollars a month dropping the comic by 80%.
