✨All-Member Poll & Potential Tier Price Change & Addition Announcement!!
🕑 Added 2025-06-16 16:43:52 +0000 UTCHI posting this to every Patron member free and paid, I've been thinking about this a lot, and the next few weeks is the best time for me to implement it if I'm gonna due to the timeframe of now to moving to Chicago, otherwise I'll have to wait another year!
Basically, you guys have requested a cheaper NSFW tier for a long time, and I've been wanting to provide that, but the two main problems were people suggested $10 or $15 which is just too low to value what I make, plus even if it wasn't then the transition to a lower amount has always been such a large paycut for me if everyone migrated to the cheaper option that I wouldn't be able to animate full-time anymore, or be able to afford sound design or music! It was too big a risk. However right now is the only window I have to try to make it work, and so here's my proposal: A $19 NSFW only tier, where you do not see ahead in the main story, but DO still have access to all NSFW art and animation made and to-be made!
For this to happen, I would modify my $5 tier to cost $6 for new signups. Those who are currently $5 tier or sign up for $5 tier before the $6 price change goes live will not be affected, you will still be able to retain $5 tier benefits for $5 as long as you do not leave the tier, basically cheaper forever for continued loyalty and for being someone who was an early financial supporter!! This would value the 10 advanced main story updates, album updates, tiktok short creation, and main story sfx and music updates at expressly $6 monthly, so the $25 tier would stay at $25 with being everything I make, but an NSFW-only tier at $19 (25 minus that $6 value) would also exist where you just get NSFW updates and don't have ahead access to the main story & sfw content! This price is my compromise to not devalue my work but also provide a (not cheap, as receiving NSFW artwork is a luxury service, but) cheaper option for my 18+ content!
I've made a multiple-choice poll below, please select as many as apply to you, I would hugely appreciate if you would submit some sort of answer if you do see this to help me gauge what you guys think, and I can make some better predictions on how this will affect my income so I can plan ahead and not struggle financially, because you guys are about 95% of my income! Feel free to ask questions below too if you have any. Thank you :)))
