Question for you all
🕑 Added 2017-09-12 17:58:20 +0000 UTCHey all, I have a quick question and some updates.
You will see some Tara updates today before I head off for 3 days of travel.
The Question I have is regarding Patreon and the pledges and the content. I am considering a fairly drastic change to this but wanted feedback.
First all current commitments will be met, commissions etc...
Here are my thoughts.
- A single Pledge level of $5/month gets you access to a monthly “mini” set of 20-25 images MAX. With access to all legacy content.
- No other pledge levels, simple and straight forward.
- My thought is I can meet this goal each month, I can grow from month to month with the same characters or move to another flip back and forth if needed.
- Over time perhaps 2 months = a set I could sell on A3D, 50+ images needed.
Few reasons for this.
- 1. I want to get into a routine with Patreon and offer more exclusive content for you.
- 2. A 20-25 image set is very doable in 20-25 days so meeting this dead line is reasonable
- 3. It allows me to create more context in sets that I (we) may want to continue forward with e.g. Demon Doll House / Carina / Sonya / etc… Vs 6-8 weeks of a 100 image set that make me , often, want to move to something different more times than not.
- 4. It allows me to spend more time learning and improving = better content for you
- 5. Lastly, the current model is not working, I am behind and have been most of this year on commitments to different levels or Patreons, it pressure I don’t want and its waiting none of you want.
Thoughts on this?

How does one access the legacy content?

Im taking all this feed back and will figure out a plan :) seems I need to go someplace in teh middle.
On the other hand I can understand your reasoning. It seems to be a recurring problem that lack of time, hardware malfunctions and so on let you fall behind in schedule... I am just worried about the bigger sets as I only rarely make purchases on A3D for example. Will your patreons still get them for free?
Hmm, I have rarely seen image sets of that size that get the job done;)

20-25 isn't bad at all, as long as the story gets done properly and has a decent ending

Anything that gets more Demon Doll House & Carina is the right move :)

no problem, if you feel more comfortable with this do it.

Works for me...do what you need to do so that you can enjoy doing it!

Sounds like a great idea to me, kind of a win win for all around.
tangerines

In a nutshell: Do it. It is absolutely the right decision. You are in a 1-2 year loop of overcommitment and I can imagine that you dip in motivation also was partially reasoned by this getting more and more like a full time job rather than a hobby that makes fun and gives you some extra credits. So do the change and get back to a point where you get the things done that you commit and perhaps also motivation as well as fun will come back.
As long as i can't tell any difference then in ok with it

Seems fair and if it makes you happy go for it.

animations are still on the plan to do also.

I think it may allow for a more story structures, tied in sets etc also

To me this sounds like a nice idea. No need to burn over the work load.
3Dzen
yea Chris, I think its time, I hate being behind :-/
Horizon
Sounds like a good plan, if you feel strongly enough to ask about it might be good to change.
Rob
Seems fair to me

If this works for you I'm in.

I have no problem with the change. This is supposed to be fun for you and everyone else so if it starts to feel like a chore and no longer fun then it's time to make a change to fix it.
