Published: December 4th 2024, 12:54:18 am
Hello~!
Azeru here~! It's been a while since I made a post dedicated solely to announcements- but here I am! And this one is somewhat BIG. So let's get straight into it!
P.S : I might miss some things here and there- will try to update this in case I do! ^^
= = =
Patreon Gifting
Patreon has recently rolled out a new feature where you can now GIFT Patreon Memberships to other people! More on that in their Official Post [ https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/31344987943949-How-to-gift-memberships-to-other-fans ]!
But, this basically allows you to, as it says on the tin, Gift memberships to others! There are of course guidelines to follow that's laid out in the official post, but it seems the process is very straight-forwards!
This is of course not mandatory for anyone to use, but it does serve as a way to help our community grow! ( And is also a feature that a few have been requesting for a while! )

New Sound Studio + Moving
This is probably the biggest one that quite a few might've been interested in! Now for the past year or so, I have been trying to look for a new place. It's been difficult, but I finally did manage to get a new place and I will be moving soon TM~! ^^
Along with this new place, I'll be able to basically build an even more professional Sound Studio/Recording Studio! Basically Upgrading my current Acoustic Paneling and Sound Treatment to some pieces from GIK Acoustics!
Now, my current panels are already industry standard as it is with a very good NRC rating- but GIK does offer some slightly improved options! ( And yes, I am not using any of those cheap, placebo-effect "Acoustic" foam that's so thin that it does nothing at all. )
This all means that the Sound Quality of the Audios should improve as well! Albeit marginally from an end result point of view- the new studio should help with the creative process on my end by a good amount! ( Also no more crazy neighbor! )
= = =
New OC Artwork
Another big thing is the New Original Character Artwork! You might have already seen bits and pieces of them around since I've already began using them, but in the near future, there will also be some very spicy versions of them available!
Every single OC will be remastered and updated as well as be given a spicy version! In fact, the four posted on this post actually DO have spicy versions available! I'm just not entirely sure on how to roll it out yet... I personally do not want to clutter Patreon with too many non Audio posts ( in case you wonder why I don't do announcements much ^^; ), but I also do want to show the new art off... Hmmm~
= = =
New Comics/Remastered Comics
If you've been around long enough, you might also know that I have a Webtoon/Comic [ https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/the-perfect-boyfriend-azeru/list?title_no=483395 ] available!
Now, recently, I did begin getting it updated and remastered to fit with the newest design of Azeru, as well as just making it be a lot more attractive! Little by little all of the chapters will be given a remaster- all while of course keeping the original heart warming feel of the initial version!
This is something I personally am very much so looking forwards to~!
= = =
Upgraded Streams ( Vicon System! )
Another Massive Update is that the Livestreams will get some Improved Tracking! Specifically we will be able to incorporate Live-Tracked props and items into the streams now!
Ah! And before you panic, my main focus is still and will always be Audios and ASMR! In fact, once we get the KU-100 properly tracked along with other accessories, I will be doing more Live-ASMR as well! ( Though, we will stick to the 3-4 streams a week max to ensure that I have enough time and lee-way to work on Audios! )
If you're wondering why I invest so much into this... well, just like everything I do, I genuinely want to best that I can offer for you! ^^;... Plus I genuinely do enjoy socializing and hanging out on stream! I am an extrovert so this energizes me! ( And I count this as my like... free time use haha )
= = =
Christmas Advent Calendar
For this year, I will most likely be doing a Christmas Audio Calendar again! I will admit though that I'm trying to figure out a good and fresh way to do it! Perhaps some scene or prompt... The biggest thing I know is that I do want to remaster the "Plap Plap Plap Get-"... Audio!
Other than that... Hmmmm... perhaps short phrases? Encouragement? Spice? Different Climax Sounds? I wonder what would be the best....
= = =
Song Covers
If you haven't already, I have been doing Song Covers on the Misc. Channel [ https://www.youtube.com/@AzeruUnofficial ]! In fact, next week I'll be posting the latest Music Video of my cover of Insane! I'm super excited for it and I hope you are too~!
Oh- and I plan to try covering Alien Stage's "Blink Gone" too... Heh~
= = =
Updated Perk Packaging + Items
I have mentioned this for a while now, and I am extremely excited to do this! I already have the Halo Pins, The "Halo Fragments", Velvet Pouches, New Metal VIP Cards & Premium Cards... Really everything except for the boxes themselves! ( Production and shipping is taking longer than anticipated!
Now, if you're wondering what I mean by this specifically... T3 and Above will now get premium box, similar to what you'd see Cell Phones or Expensive Gadgets in... like thick cardboard with nice texture. Beautiful Velvet on dense foam inside, etc.
I personally believe in really good unboxing experiences, so this is something that I want to do mostly for my sake as well!... It is admittedly more expensive, but if you have followed me long enough, you may know that I've constantly upgraded the perks regardless because I want your experience to be nothing less than amazing!
Oh! And if you're at T3 or above already, you will be receiving the updated perk box even if you already received your card! Because I still have to send you the Pin and Halo! ( Assuming that you are still at your tier!... mostly because shipping and material cost ^^;... these are admittedly expensive and I honestly don't break even easily... )
Oh! But now would be the perfect time to remind you to please make sure your information on the form(s) is up to date!
= = =
Patreon Discounts
Tis' the season of giving, so I would like to remind you as well that you can get up to TWO MONTHS FREE by signing up for the Annual Membership! If you plan to stay a long time, this is something that's definitely worth it ^^
Another Discount related thing is that Patreon has rolled out a new update that allows me to make Discount Codes!!! ( Up to 50%! )... Though unfortunately, it only applies to first time memberships regardless of the setting ^^; ( For memberships at least! But i don't sell products on Patreon, so... that's all that applies to us. )
Speaking of products...
= = =
Merchandise ( Stickers, Hoodies, Shirts )
If you're looking for some nice Merch, I do have a Merch Store [ https://azeru-official-shop.fourthwall.com/? ] available! From Hoodies, to Mugs- there's a sizeable selection!
Of course, we're classy here, so the designs are also pretty sleek and minimalist. Something that the Professionals out there can use or wear at work and not have to worry about feeling that it's too tacky! ( Sorry for the ones wanting full hoodies covered with Azeru artwork ^^;... Don't have that... yet. )
The Merch Catalogue will be updated soon as well once I get settled with everything else!

Thank you~
