Last one for the month! Here's Full Steam VENGEANCE!! from Rivals of Aether.

Was hoping to get another song out but I did a silly thing and got inspired to completely revamp my mixing style, which ended up eating a few days worth of work. 😵

No worries, we'll make up for it in October! Till then, thank you all as always for your ongoing contribution and support, you all are the greatest!!

PS: Update post mid-week!

Patreon Stream #87 Recap + Handpicked PRL Choice!

Hey Patrons! Here's a recap of today's stream for those who missed it.

The song chosen to go on the to-do list this month was:

Baking the Wondertart from Cuphead, from the list of WaffulSyrup! Cuphead fans can soon rest easy knowing there is finally a GaMetal remix.

For today's handpicked, I'm going with:

Ripe Seeds (Plant Castle) from Castlevania II: Belmonts Revenge, from the list of TheLegendOfRenegade! Yes, I'm preparing for October. I also hear a lot of potential to turn this one into a something like a Castlevania Judgment style arrangement, it should be really sweet.

That's all for now, as I mentioned on stream I should have Gambit ready for you all within the next few days, till then, thank you all as always for being amazing and extra thanks to those who were able to make it and hang out today, I'lll see you again soon! 😃

Patreon Stream #87 is about to begin!

Hey Patrons, our monthly stream is about to start! You can join us in chat here.

A recap, along with my handpicked choice for the month, will be posted here shortly after the stream ends.

See you there! 😃

Preview Post! Sept. 5th, 2024 (+stream reminder!)

Hey Patrons!

Here's a quick preview of the next song up: Gambit's Theme from Marvel vs. Capcom. I should have this one finished within the next couple of days with the video ready soon after.

Also dropping a reminder for you that our monthly stream is still taking place today starting around our usual time of 4:00 PM US Eastern (approximately an hour from now).

See you again soon! 🙂

Update Post Sept. 4th, 2024 (Patreon Stream reminder!)

Hey Patrons!

Our monthly stream will be taking place at our usual date and time: tomorrow (Sept. 5th) starting at around 4:00 PM US Eastern. We'll be adding our usual one song to the to-do list during stream, and I'll make my handpicked choice off stream and post it in the stream recap.

I was considering doing a PRL Listening Stream a few days ago, but I got a bit busy during the holiday weekend, so we'll do that sometime next week. I'll confirm the date/time for that soon.

I just posted this a few days ago, but here's the to-do list again:

• Next: Gambit (Marvel vs. Capcom)

• TBA: Memories of You (Persona 3)

• TBA: His World (Sonic '06)

• TBA: Arrow of Time (Cassette Beasts)

• TBA: Panic Puppet Act 1 (Sonic 3D Blast)

• TBA: Full Steam VENGEANCE!! (Rivals of Aether)

The next song, Gambit's Theme, is almost ready, I was hoping to get you a preview today but need just a little more time. I should be able to have that up for you tomorrow before the stream. The rest of the order is strongly TBA, but I'd like to get as much as possible off the to-do list this month, so I can focus on a fun Halloween-themed October. Also because I've had MoY and HW on there for far too long!

In other news.. I finally did something "new" on the channel:

I've been using our old medleys to create some short-form videos for YouTube shorts, TikTok and such! There's nothing truly new here for now, just medley songs being broke into single segments. Since Patreon is changing up on us next year, I'm going to be focusing on growing the channel a bit more than usual, and this is one of my first methods in bringing over some new viewership.

If you haven't caught these yet (I've been making them non-notification, better for getting new subscribers), I've put together a playlist here. I'll also be uploading them to my TikTok soon (already have a couple up).

That's all for now, I'll see you again tomorrow for our monthly stream! 😃

TL;DR: Monthly stream taking place tomorrow at 4:00 PM US Eastern. Gambit preview tomorrow, early DL/video soon after. Medley Shorts now a thing. Thank you for being so awesome! 

New GaMetal Video! Bombs Away (Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue!)

Last song for the month, here's the hectic Bombs Away from Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue!

This one's been a total earworm for me since it got picked a couple of months back.

Decided to hold off on the next song till early next week, till then, thank you all as always for your ongoing contribution and support, you all are the best!! 😃

(PS: Will update you with date/time for next PRL listening stream over the weekend!)

I'll be following Bombs Away up with Gambit, the rest of the order will remain TBA for now. I'm hoping to have Gambit ready and up as soon as this weekend, or early next week at the latest.

I'm still hoping to have everything listed above (minus Peppermint) done by the end of September so we can prepare for October's Halloween-related festivities.

Also, we need to have another PRL Listening Stream soon! I'm thinking we might do it sometime early next week (perhaps Monday), I'll confirm the date and time over the weekend.

That's all for now! Simply straightforward goal at the moment: clear the to-do list. I'll see you again soon with the next song & video! 😃

TL;DR: Bombs Away! early DL tonight, video tomorrow, Gambit next, rest of song order TBA, PRL listening stream sometime next week (will confirm date/time this weekend), thank you for being amazing!

Impromptu Stream: Discussing changes coming to Patreon late 2025

Hey there folks! I'm about to begin our impromptu stream to discuss the changes coming to Patreon in late 2025, as explained in this morning's post.

I've also made this viewable to people who are currently subscribed here but not pledging any current amount. As supporters and/or potential future Patrons, I'd like to hear your input as well.

No recap post for this, as it'll likely be an ongoing discussion for quite some time. I'll see you there!

EMERGENCY MEETING: 2:00 PM US Eastern (concerning Patreon changes coming next year)

Hello folks,

This morning Patreon creators received an email informing us that they will be axing the per-creation model, permanently, in November 2025.

The shortened explanation for this is that Apple is going to begin charging companies 30% for in-app purchases, or be removed from the app store. Per-creation charges apparently complicate this system to the point that Patreon has opted to switch over to the subscription model (once per month charge) permanently. This will drastically effect per-creation Patreons.

As you know, the GaMetal Patreon runs on the per-creation model. This means I'll be making far less from Patreon than before, and as Patreon makes up the bulk of my income, to put it bluntly: this is very bad for per-creation creators, which includes myself.

On the not-so-bleak side: I've had in the back of my mind that Patreon would one day axe the per-creation model, so I had planned to switch over eventually sometime in the future. There's also a little over a year to prepare for this.

So, I'd like to call for an impromptu stream today, starting around 2:00 PM US Eastern (about 3 hours from now, will post stream link here then), to gather some input from you all on changes we could make to the GaMetal Patreon next year when we get a bit closer to judgement day (November 2025). Admittedly, I've not promoted the GaMetal Patreon very much the past couple of years (outside of the not-so-intrusive "help support GaMetal!" cards in videos), as it's been able to self sustain itself very well without too much extra help. With this change, I'll have to do some promotion to generate some new Patrons and recoup some of the loss, but I don't want to water down particular rewards (like the request list), or drastically increase tier prices, so I'd like to know what ideas you all may have so I can think up our plan for next year.

That's all for now, thank you all as always for your continued support, we'll get through this together! 🙂

TL;DR: Patreon is permanently axing per-creation subscription model in November 2025, drastically effecting those that use this model, which includes the GaMetal Patreon. Would like to gather your thoughts/ideas during an impromptu stream today at 2:00 PM US Eastern time, link will be posted here then. Thank you!

Till then, thank you again, I'll see you again soon!
