Now that Surrogate is public, I've been dying to make this poll. Last year I experimented with a new release schedule with Grunty Thirst, and this time around with Surrogate I did a mixture of the traditional release schedule, and the GT schedule.
So, which do you guys prefer?
Grunty Thirst ultimately was a bit easier on me because I worked months in advance of what the actual release schedule was. In turn, you guys got a lot of pages over the course of month. The trade off with that is input/feedback from Iron Lewds. I want to make sure people who join for specific rewards are able to receive those rewards, like having active feedback.
With Surrogate, I was able to work ahead and grind out the first scene since there wasn't going to be any input needed, since it was all just setting up the rest of the story. It was a bit stressful on me once you guys "caught up", in part due to my academics, and in part to me waiting so you guys could give feedback/ideas and see it get put in, in the month you are donating. Those of the Iron Lewds definitely know the benefits of this. I was able to provide wips akin to what I would to commissions.
Grunty Thirst: Easier on me, more pages over less time, less active input, hard to let people know when to donate.
Surrogate: A bit tougher on me, less pages over more time, much more active feedback, people know when to donate/when they can leave.
I think I already know what my answer is going to be. But as always, your input does play a role.
