👛 Patreon Points Digest: August 2020

Added 2020-08-12 20:48:17 +0000 UTC

Hello, everyone! Time for that monthly report so the money goes into good hands and well, not waste and get money and stuff. Since I'm busy all of the time, I think this is a good idea to update on stuff.

Last week was a doozy since I concentrated on one thing, but I think I should be good now, or at least not tired enough to not do anything. As they say: some progress is better than no progress.

That, or it's just my sleep schedule being shifted again, which I have a bad habit of doing a lot... and that's really bad for my health no. That aside, it is shifting by 1-hour increments so it's not too bad?

No worries I do have a sleep tracker to make sure I at least get 7-8 hours of sleep every time.

Progress Updates

Not a wall of text. Hopefully.

🔁 Patreon Requests: [ Thursdays & Fridays ]

The pile is getting smaller! Slow, yet steady.

----- • 3 pieces of artwork made progress
----- • 6 pieces of artwork done

Still going to the same pattern as before like I said last month and it's going swell. Though I want to clear more of the queue this month. So, let's see if that happens.

Funnily enough, the progress of Art Fight stuff hasn't impeded the progress of this. I treated it separate, thus Art Fight stuff are done on different days.

✋ Penguin Project: [ somewhat on hold ]

I forgot Penguin again... but hopefully this month I'll make some progress with it as rivals updated with a few new things. One of the things I did is now obsolete, and the UI changed a bit.

I also need to add a "Pumpkin" color pallete since August marks the use of the Halloween-themed holiday skins in Rivals.

✋ Fia [i]: [ oh hold ]

I did made some progress last month but that's not much and I want to put this on hold to concentrate on FiaDH, and Myriad Stop.

Both of them go hand-in-hand together. Plus, with Myriad Stop, I'm actually motivated to work on FiaDH and vice-versa.

✅ FiaDH: [ Saturdays & Sundays ]

This has been worked on non-stop until when I actually got the idea for Myriad Stop and double-down on it to help this progress.

The reason Myriad Stop exists is to whittle down the whole cast of ask-pokeprofs to just 6 people, with 6 more planned to wrap around those 6. So, it's actually mainly for story reasons for FiaDH.

Those 6 voted will appear on FiaDH, as part of the story. As for the others... they might be appearing but let's say... it might not go well.

Here's an unfair way of doing encounters:

The "6" represents that there's a chance of a battle happening. It's bad because it's right over the puzzle you want players to think about. You don't want that because it would interrupt their thinking.

✅ Myriad Stop: [ Saturdays, Sundays & Wednesday ]

From last month's digest, this would be the "PokéProfs Sendoff" section but now it's revealed as Myriad Stop, or rather "MySt".

Outside of us Patrons, no one who what MySt actually is, but I plan to tease! I'll plan to reveal some info ahead of time.

If you missed it, the teaser is here and the preliminary intro is here.

Here I'm actually am trying to get some help with the work since the work here will be done as cheap as possible. The teaser alone has been the work of two people: me and Snow. So I do want to ease myself in relying on others.

I think working on 3 projects is fine at this point. With one feeding off each other in terms of motivation.

Weekly Summary

Here's a summary of the weeks going towards today:
(Sadly I don't remember everything 100%)

July W2: FiaDH - Clover Lane + Diamond Lane Overhaul
July W3: FiaDH - Battle Spritework + Encounters
July W4: FiaDH - Introduction Area + MySt Intro

⭐⭐ Limited Time Exclusive Monthly Offer: ⭐⭐

This month's limited time offer is still the same as last month: Sketch Pages!
It would be similar to how @LemonyBeagle does it on Twitter/Ko-fi.

Let me break it down:

One character
Many sketches in one page
Could be multiple characters, but 1 character = 1 sketch
👛10 or 💵15 per sketch
👛5 for 1 prop on 1 sketch

I actually talked to Lemon with the prices, but right now I think I'm fine with this for now.

Your points can be partially or fully spent on commissions from me without any payment on your side at all! However, discounts are not applied if you are going to use your points so be careful!
