Another Update (4th August)

So, as of writing this 5pm Monday 4th August my time, I’ve sent the keys out twice.

My apologies go out to anyone who may have received my message twice.  I’m doing my best to cover everyone who’s (re)subscribed over the past few hours but records on here start getting hazy after the 24 hour mark, and names are simply assigned which date they arrived, rather than what time.  So there may be some unfortunate cross-over.  I initially...

To Clarify...

... the above is really only aimed at those who've been long-term Patrons back in July.

So if you're totally new here, and/or you only just signed up in August after an absence, feel free to ignore this post. It doesn't apply to you.

That said, I'm planning to run a poll on whether I should continue down this whole pausing Patreon for a month. Or not. Not only does it always seem to confuse a few people who appear AFTER I pause charging, but I've bee...

The August Canvass (Goldios Sponsos Tier)

It’s somewhat poetic that my first poll under the new Tier system is going to be the very last one of its sort… 

Earlier in the year, I was having a bit of a crisis of conscience regarding a certain game, and I held a poll about it: https://www.patreon.com/posts/129264270

Weekly Update 4-8-2025

This has been scheduled to appear in the small hours of Monday (4th) morning, British Summertime, and is more a proof-of-concept to illustrate that yes, there is content.  And it’s me doing it. I’ll dispense the archive keys when I next wake—man’s gotta sleep, and I’ve been working at this all day Sunday (except for swimming). 

So please hang in there, I'll provide the means when I next wake.

These posts will follo...

⚠️Important: Major Update Information⚠️

So, the new Tiers are live ala so:

If you’re new here, and a bit confused, fret not.  This illustrates what you get on each Tier:

1st August Update - New Tiers coming

Hello.

This is to forewarn you that I’ll be starting the process of re-editing this Patreon account.

Due to technical limitations and my not being on the newer fruit-based-tech-mandated anniversary subscription model (which they’re still getting at me for)...

...I’m going to have to create New Tiers at the newer prices, illustrated below:

End of July 2025 Reminder

I apologise for not doing this sooner… given recent events here in the UK, both on a personal and more national level: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/online-safety-act

But as I indicated earlier in the month: https://www.patreon.com/posts/important-tier-134105615 I did promise to re...

Just So You Know (More Tech News)

Following what happened with the California ruling late April/beginning of May 2025 (detailed in full here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/important-update-128001823 ) the big fruit-tech-firm involved is pushing back majorly in Europe, mentioned here: https://9to5mac.com/2025/0...

❗Important Information: Tier Changes❗

Hello and thank you for your interest in my work.  It’s been both a privilege and an honour having been allowed to embark and continue this art career full time for over the past nine years here; I’m grateful for each and every red cent/penny given.

Regrettably, I have no choice but to raise my tier prices from August 2025 onwards. This is my own decision affecting my account here, it is not a platform-wide phenomena. 

Increases in the cost-of-living post-2020, some...

Notice: Charges Frozen

Thank you so much to everyone for their support here last month; this is a polite notice to indicate that I have now frozen charges on this account, given I shan’t be producing any content for this platform this month.

And so no one can...

Before You Pledge...

Beginning July, this account will be inactive until August.

There will be no new content added.

So best save your money until this account resumes operations so you’re not pledging for nothing!

⚠ Attention Please ⚠

If you are a free member thinking of joining this Patreon, please WAIT.

I will be taking a leave of absence from this platform next month of July.

That means there will be no new content, no keys to the archives being dispensed.

⚠️Important Info: Fees Are Changing⚠️

Before you jolt, it’s not me increasing my own Tier amounts. Lemme explain...

So, yesterday evening (Monday 16th June), I received an email from Patreon stating that starting from 4th August 2025, the going fee rate for any NEW creators will be a flat 10%.

The End of a Sudden Saga

The results of an impromptu poll are here

Thank you so much to everyone who participated in last week’s poll regarding a certain game; my apologies for not posting these results on Sunday.

It’s a little scary how closely I can emulate “banners”/”interfaces”… well, fonts-wise anyway… and admittedly, I’m going on my hazy memory of people on YouTube going on about 2025-05-26 08:11:37 +0000 UTC View Post

Weekly Update 26-5-2025

The end of the month approaches and we’ve another update.

Last week was a bit of a major one given the policy live stream.  And then I think I got a case of sinusitis (as highlighted here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/addendum-129533190 ); I had a lot of difficulty concentrating for a while. ...

An Addendum

As per tradition, I usually write up a separate post as I reflect upon the Policy Livestream.

But at the moment, I’m dealing with a beast of a sinus infection or something that's making it really hard to concentrate (correct at the time of writing)...

What I will say is that it was nice they didn't repeat recent events (mentioned here: 2025-05-21 16:37:45 +0000 UTC View Post

⚠ Important Information: Policy Livestream, 20th May 2025 ⚠

Thank you for waiting on this write-up of Patreon’s policy livestream of Tuesday, 20th May 2025. 

As with previous write-ups, this report will summarise the hour-long stream, focusing on what may/will affect all Patreon users.  Admittedly, this write-up will be a fair bit shorter as Patreon has been more pro-active, alerting people far more effectively via:

• e-mail,

• pop-up notifications on Patreon

• social media (predominantly, the of...

Weekly Update 19-5-2025

Last week was certainly… a week. 😓

That said, the aforementioned Policy Livestream is tomorrow evening so I’ll have to set aside some time for the write-up… but I’m down to two commissions left to finish and all that remains on my major to-do list are the comics…

I wish it was as easy as talking heads but I don’t want to look as though I’m being lazy and recycling panel...

Just So We're Clear...

I’m at fault for making a presumption in my previous post (I guess a symptom of spending way too much time in circles preoccupied with certain foreign animated series from non-English-speaking countries, and not everyone plays games from ... that part of the world).

I apologise. So to make it clear:
