I'm sorry, but I need to make some urgent changes to my Patreon, and term 52 will be the last of the reward distributed through subscriptions. There has been a serious problem with the Patreon filtering list feature. I first discovered this issue late last year, but now I realize its severity is far beyond what I initially thought. Whenever I pause the subscription payments, members are unable to subscribe or resubscribe. Moreover, during reward release, not only are members who canceled their subscription after subscribing no longer displayed, but people who haven't subscribed in the specific month also appear on the list. This situation has seriously impacted the way I have been managing my Patreon.
To resolve this issue, the following changes will be made to my Patreon memberships, and no longer stop the subscription cycles:
Tips membership benefits will remain unchanged (subscription fee : $1).
The $12 Premium Gold Ink subscription will be discontinued and removed.
A new membership subscription will be introduced (subscription fee : $3), which will include:
1) Tips membership benefits
2) Access to work-in-progress of new packs
3) Monthly one illustration pack discount coupon for other platforms ($3 value)
4) My personal creations
After the changes, Patreon will be solely used for updating progress, viewing my personal works, and voting on characters. It will no longer include rewards. For future new Illustration packs, you can choose to support by purchasing from the Patreon shop, Gumroad, or Selfy.
Additionally, the duration of the previous 3-day discount activity for new image packs will be extended to 7 days due to these changes.
I actually considered these changes last year when I first discovered the problem. At that time, I felt it wasn't a big issue and thought no changes were necessary. But now, I realize the situation has worsened, and it's time for me to make these adjustments. I apologize for any inconvenience caused by these changes.
Please take note that in future when the Term52 release is about to be completed, an update notice will be make and new membersship will be added to allow members to start transferring.
