The Past and the Future of Customs

Hello patrons. Today I’d like to discuss one of the most important changes planned for the future of this project, as well as one of our most outlying pieces of Patreon obligations - the customs. The short version is, we will not be offering the custom versions for future projects, as the amount of work needed to fulfil those has quickly proven to be far greater than anticipated. Additionally, although this probably isn’t a surprise at this point, we will not be able to c...

Patreon Overhaul

We've worked to create new tiers. Please update and change your tier to a valid option. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

We are excited about our future together.

Your own ray of sunshine

Hello again to all of our supporters! We're here to deliver some fantastic news that's been a long time coming. 

Your Celestia customs are almost ready to go into production. There's a survey linked here, please fill it out so Jen knows which name to record for you. 

As it's been pointed out in previous posts this survey will be the what we pass onto Jen.  Any names posted in comments won't be make it to her. 

Here comes the Sun!

Dear Patrons,

The wait has been long and you've all been very patient with us. Your patience will soon be rewarded.

This video has been a real labor of love and we hope that all of you will enjoy it even more than we enjoyed working on it.

We have not forgotten about the previous rewards, we're still looking into how we may fix this in the best way possible.

Now please; take a seat or lie down and let us take you back to Equestria once again.

Love,
The Pony AS...

The first ever PonyASMR audition!

Greetings patrons,

2019 is shaping up to be a very productive year. Rarity is finally out, the Celestia episode will come out this year as well and we're looking to increase productivity even further for future episodes.

So we wanted to enlist your help to find a voice actor for the by far most requested character of them all:

Princess Luna.

We currently don't have a VA for her and wanted to enlist one as soon as possible. So we've decided to hold an audition for her. ...

State of the Customised versions

Hi Patrons,

Short update here for you. Work on the customised versions has been delayed as our VA has been unable to record the individual lines. They are still coming though, we just can't promise a date for them yet.

Thank you for your patience. We are sorry to see you wait and trust that we will remedy this as soon as possible.

Here is your (more reasonably sized) Lossless version

Good morning, day and evening to all you patrons from all around the world.

The team is busy working on the Custom versions for the $10 patrons and of course also on the upcoming Celestia episode.

In the meantime we want you to download and enjoy the Lossless version of Pampered by Rarity. It is a smaller file now, thanks to Void being explained what lossless compression actually means. :^)

Thank you so much for supporting us a...

Say my name, Rarity...

Hi Patrons. Please fill in this survey so we know which name to tell Emogak to record for you.

Please note that posting your name in the comments on this post WILL NOT be sent to her so in order to get your custom version you must fill in the survey above.

There are also some of you whose pledges have not gone through. Please take care of that soon if you wish to keep your perk.

And Along Came Rarity

Dear patrons,

The wait is finally over. It took a lot of work as we had to recreate the sound files from scratch, but it is done. Thank you for your patience and support. Look forward to seeing more videos from us during 2019.

Once we know how it went with your pledges, we will send out your rewards. For the patrons with custom versions, there will be an avenue for you to fill out where you're able to state what you want Rarity to call you. If you're not already sure then please t...

Regarding the upcoming Rarity episode...

Dear Patrons,

The very long wait for the third installment of the project is nearly over. As things look now, we can realistically expect it to be ready in March. This means that your pledges will be processed around early April - so please be ready for that.

Once Rarity is out, we will divide our resources in between getting your custom versions out and, of course, working on the fourth episode in line; Celestia.

Thank you all for your great patience and continued support ...

There's a good reason behind this delay

Dear patrons and fans,

It has been a while since we last posted here and a lot of you (understandably) think that PonyASMR has stopped dead in its tracks. This is not the case at all.

We have been having internal problems since day one and those problems reached their peak this summer when we were all but ready to release the long (LONG) awaited Rarity episode. Then suddenly one of our core members goes dark. 

Weeks pass, months pass and still no word.

So in the early da...

An incredible act of kindness

Declan here, 

Over the last 3 years (wow!) we've received many touching messages and  comments letting us know how much our project has meant to our listeners and supporters, a lot of which I've kept pinned to a board beside my desk.

Last week, on behalf of the entire team, I received the most sincere and heartfelt thank you that we (or I) have ever received.

Over the years I accumulated a box full of shiny accolades and gilded certificates from my previous career, but no...

Rarity ASMR Trailer

Hello, Patrons!

Today we get to share with you something exquisite. Something that has been in the works for quite a while, and has seen many a turmoil in its time - the Rarity ASMR scenario. It has been a long time coming, but it's almost there. So close in fact, that it will be released before the Celestia scenario.

Those of you who have been with us for a while, might recognize this idea. Didn't we announce working on a Rarity ASMR scenario way back, soon after the first Flutte...

Reminder: You can talk to us in person.

Hi again patrons.

We just wanted to remind you that we have a discord server. For those of you that haven't heard of it Discord is essentially a chat room not that different from Skype. 

It's recommended that you use it to contact us because Patreon, as much as we like it, has a really unreliable messaging system.

Here's the link that will get you access to our sever: https://discord.gg/7NtQCdn

New episode coming soon, more custom versions available now.

Greetings dear patrons,

This is going to be a good year for us all. Not only is Celestia's episode well underway, there's also going to be an entire episode released before her majesty's recordings are done.

As in a complete full length PonyASMR episode complete with warm dialogue, wonderful background noises and customised versions.

We have for the first time since we started Patreon expanded the number of slots available. This is something that has been heavily requested for ove...

A little extra something just for you

Dear patrons,

There are interesting things happening behind the scenes. There are now two episodes in full production. The first of those, Princess Celestia, has been announced quite some time ago and the second one will be revealed  quite soon.

But we know that the wait has been long for you and put a short but oh so sweet little special together for you. This will be an exclusive for you patrons for a while until we put it up on youtube later.

The clip above is about how Cel...

Flutterbat Special

Dear Patrons,

With the Nightmare Night upon us we have been quite busy preparing treats to ward ourselves from the wrath of Nightmare Moon. After all, getting gobbled up tends to hamper one's creativity and we still have some plans for this year.

Tell you what though, if you have prepared some nice costumes, we might just send a treat your way. Oh, you have? Great. Then hopefully you'll enjoy this special scenario we have made for the occasion. It's not a full length production an...

Princess Celestia got something in the mail today...

Dear Patrons,

After a lot (A LOT) of interesting twist and turns with a certain international delivery service, that shan't be named, MEMJ0123 finally have her hands on this wonderful microphone. 

Not only will she be able to record every single line for the Celestia scenario with this little gem, but so will the audio team with their own 3Dio. As a result we expect the Celestia scenario to sound even better than our previous work.

We would also like to apologise for the lack...

Discord server is now live.

Don't be shy, come and talk with us!

And please don't share the link. ;)

Let's talk! PonyASMR Discord fan server opening this weekend!

Greetings Patrons old and new,

We love talking to you and while doing it here on Patreon and in the Youtube comment section is nice we wanted something a bit more more personal and easy going.

This is why we're going to start a discord server for all of you patrons where you get the chance to talk with the Pony People involved with the project directly such as the writers, artists, audio team and the actors.

Granted we are very busy working on the project and all of us won't be abl...

Important update (With some good news)

Dear Patrons old and new,

Here's a big and important update for you. Please take some time to read it when you're able to.

First of all we'd like to make it official that we're currently working on three separate episodes. The reason we're doing that is that if we were to hit a snag (Again) and have to delay that production the people working on that one can move to a different episode. That way we increase productivity and always have something to work on.

The Celestia episode is ...

Thank You

Declan here, as the founder of the PonyASMR Project I want to personally give my thanks to you. I shared some of this on our YouTube channel last night, but I wanted to make especially sure all of you heard it.   With your support we'll be able to branch out into more scenarios and dramatically improve the quality of each we produce. You're helping sustain and improve something that means the world to me.    

 As we celebrate our second release and mark the two ye...

How to get your Personalised version.

Hi again Dear Patrons,

We decided that it would be a lot easier to go this route instead, as the messaging system on Patreon can be a little...cryptic. Just go on and follow the instructions below and we will do the rest.

First of all think of what name you want Fluttershy to call you. This could be your own name, a Ponysona or perhaps a nickname that you just like.

After that just send it to us in a message here on Patreon and we'll record it as soon as we can. If you run into tro...

Full speed ahead!

Dear patrons,

We can't begin to thank you enough for supporting us like this. Because of you we've not only managed to get enough money to procure the audio equipment we need but also to ship it straight to MEMJ0123 (Our Voice actor for Princess Celestia) right away.

This means that Celestia will be our first episode using all binaural sounds, it will feel even more like she's in the room with you than before.

From now going forward we will always be working on two episodes at the ...

Picnic Under a Yellow Wing has arrived!

Greetings dear patrons,

It's finally time to show you the fruits of our labor. As much as we would like to talk your ears off about it, we know you're too excited to read this right now.

Just go ahead and watch the episode.  We'll be back in a few days with a personal message from the founder and also details regarding the custom episodes. Thank you all for your support and endless patience with us.

We're all looking forward to seeing you again very, very soon.

Lo...

Important information about the upcoming episode

Dear Patrons,

As I'm sitting here typing you this the penultimate version of Fluttershy 2 - Picknick under a yellow wing is playing in the background. It is quite lovely but we have a few more sound effects and audio clean ups to run before we will launch it on our channel.

Which will happen in the coming days.

When it is done, we will post it immediately and it will be our very first paid post. In other words this is the final heads up in case you wanted to adjust your ...

One Year ago today

One year ago a little video named "Fluttershy's Cottage ASMR" popped up on youtube. And a little group of people were sitting around their computers nervously watching their screens. How would the world react to this very niche idea of of ours?

Rather well it turned out.

In the year that followed the team has grown, gathering talented people to the cause. Among them are our Lead artist WOOXX (Who is responsib...

What we have in store for you.

Hi dear patreons, 

This is the biggest update we have for you since we launched our patreon a while back. We feel that it is time to let you know exactly what's going on behind the scenes. 

The reason we've been quiet about our work as simple as it is annoying: things don't always go according to plan. 

The original plan was to release the Rarity episode soon after the first Fluttershy one. However the actor playing her had a lot on her plate at the moment of recordi...

The Sun rises (We're still here!)

Hello dear Patrons,

We have been made aware that a lot of you are worried about the state of the project. It's very touching to read about your concerns and just to assure you that while we've been getting a lot of work done behind the scenes here is an introduction video that we had intended to launch at a later date.

This episode is a teaser for a later episode that is in development parallel to several other ones. We are as of now not sure of the order these will be released except th...

Project update: Perk ideas and more

Greetings patrons old and new,

Here's a bit of an update for you and just as I sat down to write this we blew past the $1000 mark! I would like to make it known how much we appreciate this. In fact that's the reason for this update in the first place.

We have come to realize that the current perk system is not enough; a lot of people are giving way more money than we're offering perks for and we feel that we should be able to offer other perks below the $10 mark as well.
