Update Schedule February
🕑 Added 2025-02-12 15:54:03 +0000 UTC(Sorry if you're getting too many pings for this, I'm basically trying to improve the Patreon this month)
Edit: I figured out a way to notify members that they have access without notifying old ones. it was a very traumatic testing experience and I don't want to talk about it.
I've decided to address the issue of tier 1 and tier 2 not knowing when exactly the chapters they have access to are unlocked by being more transparent with my update schedule.
To this purpose I will, at the start of every month, release a posting schedule (or rather trying to nail one down). I hope this can give people an idea when to expect what.
Analysing it has made me realise I don't like the current schedule for tier 1/2 actually, so the schedule I'll release for next month will look a bit different (hopefully better).
Regardless: For the rest of February the schedule looks like this
Tier 1:
12.2 (today, its already out) VGC (Video Game cultivator) Ch. 39
16.2 Poll for VGC POV interlude Chapter
20.2 Harry Evans Ch 87
20.2 Rattata Ch 42
22.2 VGC Ch 40
26.2 Schedule for march that addresses the issues in this one, namely two updates a day
Tier 2:
12.2 (today, its already out) VGC (Video Game cultivator) Ch. 44
16.2 Poll for VGC POV interlude Chapter
20.2 Harry Evans Ch. 92
20.2 Rattata Ch 45
22.2 VGC Ch 45
26.2 Schedule for march that addresses the issues in this one, namely two updates a day
Tier 3 (This one is more free-style and I usually know only a few weeks in advance as I schedule as I write, will try to predict better to also have it on a one month ahead.)
13.2 VGC 46
16.2 Poll for VGC POV interlude Chapter
16.2 HE 108 (Harley interlude)
19.2 HE 109
21.2 VGC 47
25.2 Rattata 52
26.2 new schedule
Additional note: You might be wondering why Rattata 42/45 is being released on 20.2 if the public chapter will be 41 and the tiers are 2/3 chapters ahead. That's because there was a Chapter 41.5,. Similarly Harry Evans will publicly be on 81 on 20.2 which doesn't make sense since tiers 1/2 get access to 5/11 chapters in advance, but will be on chapters 87/92. That's because at some point I just started giving tier 1, 6 chapters ahead and tier 2, 12 chapters ahead (you can't see that tier 2 is 12 chapters ahead because there is also a 0.5 chapter hidden in there) Anyway I have to fix these things also in the membership information so the improved benefits are shown instead of being hidden.
Anyway, as you see I've got my work made for me.
One thing I'm never doing again are 0.5 chapters, they ruin the counting.
Core message: if the numbers don't make sense its because you're not looking correctly, I am 100% trustworthy, I swear bro

I continue digging as I try solutions, maybe I'll figure something out.

That's the issue, I tried figuring this out but couldn't. Maybe I should ask on the reddit

Posting schedules can take the fun out of it and stress you out. And if I were in a lower tier, I wouldn't even know to check without a notification, since I wouldn't try and set something up myself. It might make sense to deliberately only make new things available on all tiers at the same time, and then have a separate announcement post for the lower tiers. Keys being that upper tiers don't get announcements if stuff isn't released for them by only ever releasing if everyone gets something (or you could make announcements only for specific tiers), and also that you limit the number of announcements upper tiers can get instead of e.g. three. If Patreon can't just not annoy everyone, it might make the most sense to make custom announcements posts per tier if it's just revealing an old post. As the ideal solution. Even if that's maybe more work than one announcement post for every tier but only releasing something if everyone gets something. Those both would feel better to me, if I were the Patreon creator. I can't believe Patreon is so garbage.

It's odd, I dunno if Patreon changed it or what but I know with some creators I've gotten notifications that something has changed when a chapter becomes available, basically duplicating the effect of the new post email but for when the post isn't new.
