What are your opinions on these things I'm now gonna discuss?
🕑 Added 2017-07-12 05:16:51 +0000 UTC I meant to do this last month but then didn't so I'm doing it now. (I've been drunk. I mean uh... busy with other things? No ones gonna believe that. Just lazy.)But first: We hit the $800 goal! Woo! We'll see how long that will last! Thanks to you all! Woo! (aaand someone immediately cancelled lol)
Anyway... so now that I'm doing the $5 patreon reward extra pages with the quality of the normal pages, and doing one every second month. I realized I really wanna post them on the normal blastwave page eventually. I mean here they're only seen by a few hundred people so it kinda makes no sense to keep them exclusive forever.
So I was thinking I'd post them on the normal website with like a uhh... 5 month delay? So when I make a new extra page here, I'll post an old one on the blastwave website. Starting in 2 months. That way patreons are always 2 pages ahead of the rest.
You guys okay with that or something similar to that? I mean I technically promised them only to you guys, but things have changed a bit. It would also get more traffic to the site and help me out in other ways.
Let me know what you think.
Though I think I'll keep the blue army comics patreon exclusive since I wanna do different things with that. I also should get back to those at somepoint. If I do them, I'll do them seperately from the monthly big pages. Maybe do them in the extra stupid page "slot"
In other news, I wanna make a picture this month that is not the forever delayed pinup poster. I think I'll put up a seperate post for suggestions and stuff.
I also had something else to say but I totally forgot.

Yeah. I'm cool with proposed delays and releasing stuff publicly. My (selfish?) goal is to help you do more of this stuff, so I'm not really buzzed about exclusives.
I see nothing wrong with publishing exclusives outside patreon eventually,seems perfectly reasonable to me.
I don't mind even 2-month delay.
I just support you in the hopes of getting more GWTB out to the world. So go for it!

I'm fine with a 3 month delay instead of the 5 month. I'm actually only a Patreon because I thought it will make you draw faster the public Blastwave stuff. Actually I don't need any Patreon only perks - as long as you keep drawing :)

My opinion: it's totally fine to post them publically after the delay

👍👍 IMO Patreon shouldn't involve a ton of exclusive content—most of your output should end up available to the world at some point. After all, I'm not really giving money for *me*.
I agree with KP ... use it as a way to entice more people to support you.

No problem with timed exclusives. Good way to let people know how much (or little :p) they are missing out too!
I love that idea. Keep one comics series exclusive, but release all the others with some delay - that's really good.

By the time others get the new comic a dacade will have passed. GO FOR IT!
Create comics, get more fans, and create more comics.
