Sorry for the delays
🕑 Added 2015-07-02 19:46:44 +0000 UTC But I'm really stressed out lately. Between Commissions, Working on a pen and paper RPG, Patreon Projects and Patreon Rewards, I'm absolutely swamped. I'm really not sure how to deal with this - I feel like I'm always 3 steps behind, and always playing catch up. I'm still going to do the project for June, but I think I might need to remove the reward structure from Patreon and go towards a mostly donation/possible inclusion model. I have a feeling that's going to cause a fair number of you to either drop patronage, or drastically reduce your pledge amount - and I wont' blame you. I'm just letting you know that that's kinda what I'm thinking right now. I'll honor any of the vouchers that people have right now, and I'm going to add the June vouchers as soon as I have a moment to do so, so please don't think I'm trying to take your money and run. So... uhm... Yeah. sorry everyone :c I'd love to know your thoughts on this, in publicly or privately.Comments

Okay! Fair enough. I wouldn't mind that.

Well, that's all up to you and how you manage your time, body and expectations. Always hoping for the best for you!

Of course! I wouldn't dream of taking advantage of people.

Yeah, Patreon's been sorta rough since about month 3. I'm hoping this works out better for me...

Essentially, all contributions would be straight-up donations, no promised rewards. But by being a contributor at a certain level, you have a chance of being included in the projects in some form or another. Kinda like how I was looking for a person to include as Raisa's prey in the Yoshi series.

I think scaling back on rewards may help. For the relatively short time you've had the patreon, you've never been able to develop a stride for it. Once you can do that with projects (assuming you still want to do them) and be comfortable with that routine, you can scale back up. The main thing I wanted out of your patreon was a conduit to help you focus on some sort of routine.

As long as you come through on your promises, I'm happy. Even if they take a long while.

When you say "Donation/possible inclusion model" what do you mean exactly?
