Let's take this project to the next level!

Hi everyone,  

First of all, I wanted to thank you all so much for making this Patreon project possible! It has now resulted in over 30 cool (royalty-free) tracks, 3 albums and it has become an important part to sustain my artistic adventures and give me freedom outside of the games industry.

Over the years I noticed that getting new fans to sign up still is a bit of a challenge. One possibility is that my original choice of support per song (or "per creation" in Patreon lingo) may confuse new potential Patrons about what they're in for in terms of budget. Even though Patreon offers to set a limit per month and I have never released more than one paid post per month, I have come to the conclusion that switching to the "monthly" support scheme would be easier to understand and an overall cleaner way to present this project.

One reason I originally opted for "per creation" was that I didn't want anyone to pay if I couldn't release a new track in a month because of possible other commitments. But over the last 2 years or so I have kept up with releasing at least one piece per month even with other pressures weighing down on me, so I'm confident that I can keep up (also, there is actually still an option to suspend the project and not charge if I needed to).

For all current Patrons everything stays the same - you're still supporting me with the same amount as before and I still create at least one new track per month, but I hope that this change will translate in many more supporters joining this amazing ride and who knows, soon I can provide you with even more content. Let's do it together! :)

-Chris

Danke für die Antwort, habe ich jetzt nach zwei Jahren erst gelesen :) Freut mich, dass du den Founders-Deal hast, 5% mit Steueranrechnung sind fair. :)

Das ist sehr lieb, aber die 5% (ich hab als frueher Einsteiger bei Patreon immer noch den Founders Deal) ist echt kein Problem und ich kann das sogar von meinen Steuern absetzen. Und die Features von Patreon sind echt gut um dieses Projekt organisiert zu halten. Wenn ich die gleichen Moeglichkeiten manuell per Email oder so machen muesste, dann waere das ziemlich umstaendlich... ;)

Hallo Chris,, würde dir lieber monatlich eine kleinen Obolus per Dauerauftrag überweisen. Patreon ist gut, ich würde dir halt den ganzen Euro im Monat gönnen, ohne weitere Kosten.

This makes totally sense!
