TL;DR:
Animations will have some story, moving away from long sex loops.
No more Angle 2 going forward. Animations will be twice as long instead. $3 tier sees first half, higher tiers see it all.
Animations may take 3-4 months or longer to complete. Patreon will still charge every month. Longer animations = more expensive Voices and Sound Design, so funds are needed for that purpose.

Hi all,
I've recently moved to a new place and finally settled in. My finances have calmed down and I decided now is the time I can think about doing NSFW work again.
I want to evolve what I do beyond what I was doing earlier. Inevitably, people will miss the old way I did things, but hear me out!
From now on, my animations are going to be written with stories. This means me and collaborators will be writing what happens with an actual sense of progression and loose story, and sometimes dialogue. Like a screenplay.
However, the difficult thing about writing and planning an animation with focused beats, pacing, and directed camera work, is that it's not sustainable to try and direct & render 2 different angles of the animation. It doubles the render time, of course, but is also a gargantuan amount of work to even create.
Imagine if the idea of a scene is to make quick camera cuts between characters talking, I have to pointlessly come up with alternate versions of such cuts, and similarly make sure the 2nd angle feels as "cinematic" as the 1st. With finite creative energy, after all the work of getting the 1st one perfect, adding this second step is beyond burnout material.
This has already been challenging enough on the current sex loop content I've been doing. It's only going to be much worse on animations with story.
So, I've decided going forward that there will be no more alternate angles.
Instead, the animations are going to be longer, and I am going to split them them in half. Dreamer ($3) patrons will get to watch the first half, while Lucid Dreamer ($6) patrons and above will get to see the full animation.
So imagine if the final animation is 8 minutes; this means $3 tier will get 4 minutes of content and everyone else gets the full 8.
To me, this is a fair replacement for the 2 angles. It allows me to focus on a single cinematic direction, and the tiers still make sense to reward the $6 patrons just as much as if they were getting an Angle 2.
Additionally, because these longer animations will cost more to get sound and voices done for, I am going to start letting Patreon charge every month, no matter how long the animations take to produce. This allows funds to be built and spent paying collaborators for large volumes of work.
I hope everyone understands and can look forward to the new content. :)
I am hoping to finish the threesome of Z lda x Urb sa x M pha around the Fall time. This is mostly a goal for myself as I want time to do a halloween animation with some creature content :D
