Now that I have some experience with commissions. (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
I will try to slightly change (for the better, I hope) the Patreon and Price List system.
I met several nuances that I will try to fix with patch 1.1 below.
1. I am not very happy with the possibility that someone is making one large commission or even several commissions in a row forcing me to stop all other activities for a long period, besides, long work on one project gets boring and becomes a routine, slowing down the process even more.
I do not in any way blame anyone for selfish intentions or selfish exploitation of me in relation to others. After all, I inevitably pay more attention to the people on whose commission I work, and so far I have not had a bad commission experience, I was pleased to work with each of you. But I would not want to deprive of my attention those who cannot afford a large commission.
After all, the sooner I complete short commissions, the sooner I can continue working on more serious projects with a clear conscience!
It's not that I don't like good money, but I don't like putting one person over the rest,
I will gladly fulfill all your commissions, but it would be much easier and more pleasant for me if they were distributed more evenly among everyone who wants.
I can throw exceptions if there is no one else in the queue. *
And you can still order a batch of commissions, it's just a little less profitable now.*
- In this regard, the system of perks "Commissionist" was nerfed
The discount now Decreases as you order commissions within a month,
and is restored at the beginning of a new month. ( ´・・)ノ(._.`)
for example
-Your discount as patreon is 20%
-Your first commission this month will cost 80% of the total cost
-And your discount becomes 10%
-Your next commission will be worth 90%
your discount becomes 0% and will be restored at the beginning of the new month.
This is done in an attempt to reduce the benefits of large batches versus single commissions
and increase the queue rate.
- The "Estates" perk has been added
It works like "Commissionist" before the nerf and is compatible with its new version.
for example
"Estates1" = 5% discount
-Your discount as patreon is 20%
-Your first commission this month will cost 80-5% of the total cost
-And your discount becomes 10%
-Your next commission will be worth 90-5%
-Your discount becomes 0%
-Your next commission will be worth 100-5%
2. All commissions I performed (except one)
were the most time-consuming in the price range I presented.
I drew up the price list with this in mind, d=====( ̄▽ ̄*)b
because it is unpleasant for me to leave the work unfinished,
and any commission that is not fully rendered is unfinished for me.
But unfortunately, the point is not in their superiority over other types of commissions (which they fully include),
but in the general irrationality of the old price list. இ௰இ
- Due to high time costs and constant overload, I slightly increased the cost of full render commissions (it will slowly increase until I find the best option).
- Due to the low representation of commissions at other levels of rendering, the key stages that determined the cost were revised.
Now they are closer to reality, which I hope will make their purchase more rational.
- Now added "Completion" function,
it consists of finalizing the previously ordered commission to the next level for a separate payment.
for example
You have previously successfully ordered a lineart commission,
And now you can pay for its completion to any of the following levels: shadows and lights, flat color, or full render.
As a rule, I leave all the documentation of my orders and can at any time continue from the point where I left off the last time working on the commission.
(The discount does not apply to this type of service).
The cost of this service is very subjective and depends on how long ago the order was made.
This was also done in order to diversify demand and as a compromise with my idealism.
For similar reasons
- The micro\macro benefit has been removed
Due to my early uncertainties, the old benefits were in a very small range of very small numbers.
Because of this, almost all of my patreons chose the most profitable support option, and therefore the "Authority" perk practically lost its meaning, because everyone in the queue has this advantage and at the same time no one implements it.
And all other support options in comparison with "MassVore" simply lost their meaning, either from the inexpediency of the advantages included in them, or in their unfortunate price range, which is why it is always more profitable to take the most expensive, but at the same time, the cheapest option.
Almost the entire benefits system has been revised,
-The price range has been increased
-The perks are still being worked on...
It is recommended that you reconsider your subscription plan and, if possible, select your preferred one before paying for the next month of subscription.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRSTLY ASKING ALL "MASS VORE" PATRONS, ~\(≧▽≦)/~
CHANGE YOUR SUBSCRIPTION PLAN TO A NEW WHICH IS MORE PREFERRED FOR YOU,
I will not be able to remove or change the cost of "MassVore" while it has active patreons.
Therefore, I created several options similar to it, as soon as you all change the subscription plan, I will delete it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please do it yourself, I would not like to personally cancel your subscriptions or do it against your will.
I ask you if you have any complaints or suggestions in connection with the above changes, I will gladly listen to you in a personal conversation where we can discuss what specifically suits or does not suit you in the new system.
First of all, I think about patreons and try to make your stay here as comfortable as possible for everyone without exception.
Most of all I am afraid that I could change something for the worse,
be sure to let me know if this is the case. ( ´・・)ノ(._.`)
Thank you very much for continuing to support me
even when I disappear for a long time without saying a word. (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)
I hope these changes will help me do better for everyone here!
