Some Updates

Just wanted to keep everyone updated on what I'm doing. I'm currently doing a bunch of work on my other projects so that I don't have to do as much in November and December for the current batches of followers before I pause my patreon for two months starting in January.

I've made most of the bodies for the NPCs and will probably be finished with them by the end of the month. Then in November, I'll be gathering all the assets for them and start working on their faces which will likely spill over into December and then I'll be finishing those up.

If I can keep up with that schedule, I should be able to spend most of January and February setting up all the followers for release on the Nexus as well as releasing them. There are a TON of them and i don't want to flood the site so I'll probably spread them out, doing 2-4 a week. I'm also going to merge some of them together if they're from the same story/IP. For example, all the Starbutterfly followers will be in one mod together.

Temporary Custom Follower Slots

I've been thinking about opening a few more temporary custom follower slots. I'm not sure I'll do it though. But it would basically just allow people to request a follower for November and December, but then that tier would go away afterwards. I might do 2 or 3 in November to see how it goes since 2 or 3 more followers wouldn't be too much more work over all since i'd be working on all these followers at once. IF I do open some extra slots for custom followers, I'll let all my supporters know at least 24 hours or more before hand so that you'll get first dibs if you want it. Then I'll post about it on Discord followed by posting about it on Twitter.

If you're interested, PM me to let me know so I can consider how many Temporary slots to open. They'll be set to $51 per follower and the tier will go away after December, so people will be able to get at least 2 custom followers (November and December). After that, the tiers will go away and you'll need to either go down to a lower tier or unsubscribe.

Development Process

I'm going to see about speeding up my process. I've been giving all the followers custom enchantments on their clothing to make them more viable in combat and to match their power levels in their respective canons/lore (a fire based character being immune to fire for example). I think I'm going to stop doing this and just let players enchant the clothes. This would cut out at least 20ish minutes on each follower. I might look into seeing if I can apply some effects directly to followers via custom perks, which, in theory should only take like 5 minutes, but it'll probably take me about an hour the first time just to figure it out. If I do figure  it out, I'll make a post about it probably.
