It's been a crazy week letting all this settle in but I'll keep making stuff regardless, I want a clean plate for when it's time to start working on patron rewards- which brings up my next point, I could use some help doing a little adjusting to make things fair for everyone.
As I've mentioned in chat many times the huge amount of interest has thrown me, so much so that I'm going to have to re-think the goals and rewards a little. I was expecting a gradual increase in patrons and *thought* I was prepared, but as usual I undersold myself quite a bit...
So here's the situation;
I want to make things fair for patrons across all tiers to get their rewards in a reasonable time without becoming burnt out from overwork. Originally the highest tier was set at a max of 30 people, but Remmie told me that if I kept it there I's be doing clean sketches every single day *just* for that tier, which would cut into time working on comics, animations, and commissions, not to mention rewards for the other tiers.
So here's where you all come in, I've already talked to a couple of other patrons (VinMcGrey and Dazzling Flash) about possible ways to keep things fair, and it's helped me come up with a bit of an idea of what to do. Since Patreon has not pulled payments yet, now's a good time to shift things to be more agreeable while giving me time to make/learn things.
-I'd like to have a set of 15 per month to work on, with 5 from Ovus, Gold, and Silver. After they're picked they'll be on a cooldown on the next month. It would work something like this-
-Ovus- 5 picked, the guarantee promised means there's no RNG. I go down the list, which means within three months everyone should get a sketch. (This might even let me bump the total number of Ovus up a few more, possibly up to 30. This will allow the tier to get two clean scene sketches a year.)
-Gold and silver will involve RNG, however, Gold will have an x2 entry (higher chance) from the RNG. There will still be a cooldown period for the winners in the following month.
The rest of the rewards will still apply (Cameo OC appearances, etc.) and possibly other benefits as things grow and develop. I just want to be able to keep things fair and fun while not racing towards potential burnout.
If you have any input or suggestions I'd love to hear it. I'm still learning how all this works and so far you have all been absolutely fantastic to have around!
