Content Distribution Changes
Added 2018-03-06 10:34:00 +0000 UTCBeware, it's one of those boring management posts! D:
In response to the recent leak of the latest animation I'm feeling like I'll have to make adjustments to the content distribution system in the future, likely starting with the next animation. Instead of putting the links directly into the posts, I'm now planning on sending out PM links to patrons that have been processed with the corresponding tier prior to release. Once the free version is out I'll add video links to the library, so all animations are still available for those that newly pledge here. There's always been a rather significant amount of patrons pledging and pulling back during animation releases, I frankly didn't bother too much about this, as the actual support has always been more than overwhelming, but seeing the content being redistributed and widely spread way before I can actually release it myself is forcing me to act.
I still take a fairly liberal stance on content distribution, means that everything else will remain the same. Animations will still get a free version release one month after the Patreon postings as usual!

Don't you usually distribute your videos for free after a certain period of time anyway? Really sucks some people still feel the need to leak instead of just letting things take their course :( You do what you have to do.

2018-03-06 19:53:33 +0000 UTCI kinda feel bad. I saw that video but didn't know it was a leak. Although it did prompt me to come join. Hope that i can be forgiven.

2018-03-06 14:06:50 +0000 UTCYou might be able to find a way to get the leakers. Like you must be a patron for X amount of weeks before you get the PM for the link of the next animation? And each tier gets a different quality. That way, the higher the quality, the higher the tier. You may be able to root them out like that? May not be worth the trouble. You do this though, at least you get more money from it

2018-03-06 13:48:52 +0000 UTCDon't really get these people... But I suppose they just do it for the 'views'.

2018-03-06 13:03:30 +0000 UTCThis saddens me. Not because you are doing this, but because you have to do this. It is sad when artists take measures because they need to, not because they want to.
