The Patreon will change tiers: going to a 5/10 system. The $5 will mainly consist of the current clip that we've done; whereas the 10 will have access to either all or at least the most recent 3.
There are a few reasons for this change. We are opening up a C4S storefront, so we are shifting to try to turn a bit of profit. This isn't for cash grab reasoning; Life issues have forced me to minimize and spend more time running back and forth to a nearby state. This is a part of the reason why stuff has been being released at odd times and have been a deluge before a drought. The other option for comparison's sake would be me switching to night shift to be able to work; effectively ending any time we use to film. I will be honest; I rather enjoy this and prefer the first option lol.
This also helps alleviate (on my end) the stress I feel over not delivering on some of the other tier items. The surveys all went unreplied, our dwindling time became all about filming, and so on. What does this mean for those other items? well; I want to do picture sets and other stuff, It just wont be contained within a tier and just be put up as it can.
Here's my thoughts on the split between full backlog and most recent 3: Three would be commensurate with being 3x better than the $5 tier, at only 10. It would also not completely sink any chance I have of succeeding with the C4S store. some of the stuff we've already been working on for it, because of the length, wont even let it be put up there for less than $20, (C4S seems to have basically a built in minimum price based on $1 per minute) so if upon finding/being directed to the patreon, it would negate even having a store. 3 a month (min) gives me a fair amount of time to film each month, without becoming all consuming. It also doesn't force me into a situation where if I say, put out 5-6 clips one month, and then only 3 the next, people complain that it wasn't worth it the second month, or I feel I need to meet or exceed prior months.
This does have it's own issues, as something would have to be worked out on how they switch; if I do 3 a month, and the $5 tier gets the newest, doesn't someone there for the whole month effectively get the same as the 10? If anyone has an idea on how to work this or some alternate suggestion, please get in touch with me. other wise, I'd love to hear some feedback.
TL:DR; tier's changing in some way, less stress, still boobs.
