👛 Patreon Points Digest: May 2020

Like I said before, I'm not updating everyone's points last month due to the pandemic situation, giving you guys to save on money in these trying times.

I am doing an update on points now, but I'll probably not the next month again depending on the situation. In terms of the situation here, it seems controlled and from what it looks like I can go outside and take a haircut by next week.

Most of the stuff I do will still be the same, staying home and doing work like always but I will be able to go outside again and recharge those long-awaited "outside batteries" to get me to full speed and not being a mess. Now that's done, time for the updates.

=============== ===============  ===============

Like before, I'm trying to not give you a wall of text and it'll be in snippets:

• 🔁 Patreon Requests: [ still trying to weave ]
       The pile hasn't changed and is probably bigger... I'm really sorry for that uh... I'm not gonna lie that I keep forgetting and keep getting distracted on getting back on old projects, which some I'll list below.

• ⚠ Penguin Project: [ weaving ]
       This panned out to me forgetting and then remembering. BUT STEAM DID A CHANGE THAT MAKES IT VERY EXCITING! That and someone issued a challenge to finish a Rivals character before that guy creates a whole new character within a span of a week, all balanced and animated.
  
  It was supposed to be worked on weekends, but since the virus situation, no one else can really test it. EXCEPT STEAM DID A CHANGE. They allowed unlisted mods now. That means if you have Steam and have Rivals of Aether, all I have to do is give you a link so you can test early! (They also have a Summer Lovin' palette now to match the rest of the base cast.)
  
  Other than that, here's a prototype of the new stage going along with the Penguin Project! More details will come soon, along with even early testing of Penguin Project!
  
  

• ⚠ PokéProfs Sendoff:  [ weekends ]
       This one I also forgot but there's something about this I did that's actually quite related. It's about the archiving of the original posts if this rings a bell to you.
  
  So I'm saying this now: all story portions and asks are all archived in the wiki, just not easily found! That's because I'm in the process of archiving every #TodaysWeather entry in that original set. Once that is set, I'll announce it in public! (patrons first, of course.)

• 🆕 Fia [i]: [ weekdays ]
       Fia [i] is pretty much a card game I had before back in 2018. There's like a full Tabletop Simulator prototype you can use to play it with friends! Now I'm making the proper digital prototype of it starting from the deck builder. (Cause you can't really work without a deck.)
  
  Now I've heard from itch.io that I can now allow early access exclusive to patrons! So expect that soon! But first, I want to make a wiki entry from it for a proper introduction for those who are outside. (Well, re-making. There's an original entry with fully outdated information on it)
  
  Here's how the deckbuilder looks like: (full size here)
  

• I recovered some old music stuff! It needs some preparation before I publish them on Bandcamp available for everyone to listen to cause some of them are missing some assets.

•  #FurriaFridays are always done Fridays.

🔺🔺 New Function for Points! 🔺🔺

I'm not limiting the points to only you anymore!

• That means, you can donate your points to another patron, or a friend of yours who wanted to commission!
• If you're giving points to a friend who wants to commission, it counts as a reward! That means they could also occupy the same draw queue like a patron would!
• You could sneak in discounts as a surprise if you want that!
• 👛35 can let others view the patron-only chat in the Discord for a month!

=============== ===============  ===============

 ⭐⭐ Limited Time Exclusive Monthly Offer: ⭐⭐  

This month's limited time offer is actually something you might have see me do before, and that's Pixel Art!

This is a canvas of only 32x32 pixels, which is standard for half of the low res games out there and I will be sticking to that or extend it to a 48px when needed. Of course I can give the original size and a 5x (like the one you see) or a 10x which is double that.

So if you want me to make a pixel character, then I only ask of you only 👛15 fixed or $20. (patron discount applied) It'll be simple with barely any shading, so don't expect something too complex. +5 if you want a prop!

As for the last two month's Basic Outfit Set offer, it'll remain hidden but you can freely tell your friends about it! (I encourage it!) Like a hidden menu item! But the price is now 👛35 or $40. (patron discount applied)

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!

Right now I'm changing up my prices, but should largely be the same. Let's talk if you want to spend your points.
