In any case, hello again! I will be resuming posting and payment in September. Here is a short list of what I said I'd do a month ago:
- Edit the Waifu Warz audios!! - I did this, god bless. Either the Io or DDLC one will be first.
- Advancing other patron rewards. - Didn't get as much done on this as I would have liked, but some progress is better than none. I will likely work on these more in September.
- Misc other stuff - Let's just say that I've been up to a little chicanery. Been messing around with learning FL Studio, which I think will be a worthwhile skill in the future. Case in point: you already heard a little bit of it in Expansion Pack 2. Imagine that but like, more. My eventual end goal is to have something like a Swell Reads Official Sound Track[tm], but let's not get ahead of ourselves here...
All in all, I'd say I got caught up on a good number of my projects. But what about the page? Thanks to your feedback, here are the tiers and posting schedule as they stand now:
- Schedule -- Instead of posts being made every X number of days, I want to aim for releasing a new audio every 2 weeks. That way I can upload stuff on the weekend instead of bum-rushing it in the hours after I get home from work. 😐😐
- Public -- Access to all released audios. Click me! Even if you're not a Google Drive fan (?????), then they'll continue to be on my deviantArt. I will also provide a link to the scripts when an audio is publicly uploaded, since that's something I've received a few requests for.
- Trembling Treble -- WIP materials (scripts + raw audio) will be posted at the same time. Nothing too dramatic. These will likely be posted a week before the public upload.
- Pumping Percussion -- Expansion type polls will be replaced with a suggestion box-styled form where you can submit whatever scenario you please. I will choose the one that I feel best represents the series or is the unique. Early access will be posted a few days before the public upload, as usual.
- Ballooning Bass -- Every character poll audio will have an alternate version to go with it, which these patrons will get access to. Whether that "alternate" changes the expansion method (like WG to blueberry) or the ending (popping and non-popping) depends on the scenario. Disclaimer that this starts with Claire's and not to expect it with the ones currently in editing.
- The editing WIP this tier typically receives will be posted at the same time as the script + raw audio. It's going to be a single WIP that'll typically be halfway through the audio as to not flood your page.
- I removed the commission thing since nobody really used it, lol. I don't plan on opening public commissions any time soon. The rate used here also interferes with my plans to pay the voice talents more.
- New Tier -- New tier! This will be added later this month (as in right before the poll) to prevent people from being double-charged. Patrons who pledge $20 will get to submit characters for the monthly Waifu Warz (yes with a Z) polls.
- Additionally, they also get access to the layers of each released audio. The edited-up voices, each layer of SFX from whooshes and cloth rustles to chair creaks to belly creaks. Pretty much everything except the music (unless it's something I made). If you're familiar with music stems at all, it's basically that. Not sure yet when this will be posted in relation to audios... maybe same day as the public release?
- Swelling Soprano -- There is currently a single $30 spot available if anyone wants it, no changes otherwise. 😎
All tiers should be edited to reflect this, though I've removed the banners because I want to get new images for those. The chibi Trinas are cute, but I want something new. And also... the Rockwell font was starting to get a little tiresome. :V
Profile pic and banner change are possibly pending, we'll see.
I know it might seem repetitive when I say "thank you for your patronage :^)" after each of these announcements, but it really does flatter me just the volume of people that enjoy something so niche as "balloon and blubber kink audio", let alone actively support it here on this very page. And to think, I started doing this stuff solely to spite a single guy who annoyed me on Discord. 😏
In conclusion: join my discord pwetty pwease and expect STUFF starting this weekend.
