Status update for August
🕑 Added 2018-08-05 10:59:50 +0000 UTC I once more find myself in a problematic situation, which continues to reoccur every few months now. Due to personal issues, a good friend who's also an important patron can no longer keep supporting me and will have to remove their pledge by the end of this month. This comes after Patreon's pledge processing issues which were induced by changes to their payment processors, causing a lot of people's payment methods to be considered invalid. From the looks of things, I'm going to be left under 300$ by the end of the month, which is not enough to live off and another crisis waiting to happen.As usual I've thought of changes I can make to my page, how I should better handle the workflow of my projects, etc. However I've already done all that in the past... there isn't anything new I can think of doing differently at this stage! More quantity isn't possible, as both animation and games take a long time to finish and I'm just one person doing it all alone... some days I'm working from the moment I wake up to when I go to sleep, it just doesn't show because my work goes to doing very little on an enormous amount of semi-finished projects. I could and should post a bit more WIP material which I'm planning to again this month.
Another issue is that on top of working day and night on my projects and not even then finishing them, I have to work on a few non Patreon things as well. I might have not mentioned this, but I help out a friend who runs an ISP firm in my neighborhood, to whom I've been a client for over a decade now. I designed the new website for his company, and now we need to restructure it for the most part. While I'm happy to help him out and this is also good practice in web development, it further decreases the time I have available to work on my projects for the near future. On top of that I still need a new video card, as the one I have continues to inexplicably freeze my computer when running most 3D applications (including some Blender scenes)... this part should however be solved soon, after which I'll be able to get back to Vore Tournament and other things again.
As far as the upcoming month is concerned, my plan is to see where and how I can better advertise my page so that I can recover the lost pledges and keep going; I feel this is one aspect I haven't done enough on, which is because I don't know where to even start; I create furry / vore content, so I can't go just to everyday gaming / animation communities and show my page there... we live in a weird world with outdated mentalities, most people would still lynch me for showing them that. Any advice on where I could post about my page to attract more Patrons would be extremely helpful at this stage!
Other than that, I'm going to offer new content for the 5$ tier this month... this time it will likely be snapshots from some of the less discussed games I've been working on. If you're interested in seeing the RPG games I've been doing stay tuned for a new announcement! Also remember I'm going to be posting the sources of my Point of no Return series once I get back to 400$ again.
