New animation WIP and Patreon discussion
A small preview of my newest animation. Full version will be coming out hopefully this Friday. This is part of the new patreon thing I'm working on.
Now, a short discussion about my new patreon ideas.
So I've been racking my brain for awhile now, trying to come up with some ideas for new patreon rewards as well as a new tier for the couple of you guys who're giving me more than $5. This has proven to be a tad bit difficult as I don't have much to give, and I have no plans to move my 1080p animations to a higher tier.
So my idea for a $10 tier, is to have my animations released a couple of days early for supporters of this tier. This tier so far is experimental, as I am not sure how this will exactly work. Animation releases will likely be early anywhere between 3 to 7 days. The only problem with this is that I have to make sure my animations are ready and completed by then, and I'll have to try to keep this up.
$5 supporters wont be losing out on anything. They will still have access to all my patreon releases, but 3 days later. In fact, the idea is to have a new reward for both Tier 1 and Tier 2 patreons. At the same time as the early releases, I'll be showing a preview teaser of the release. This will probably be in the form of one image or a small part of the animation. Would this be something that you guys are interested in? Or would this cause unnecessary spam in your email inboxes?
Any comments or feedback for these ideas are welcome.

Not a fan of "early access" to finished animations, of all the things content creators can come up with for higher cost tiers (pools/wips/animation files) this is the pointless and annoying one
If you don't mind me asking, can you explain some more on why its annoying or pointless? Not trying to antagonize you for your opinion, I'm just collecting viewpoints and feedback on the new ideas. My thoughts are that 1080p animations are the best things I can actually give. But I don't want to make the 1080p animations $10 just to create a new tier. Also, I don't want to pay gate things too hard. so the idea is that the $5 tiers still get the same benefits as the $10 tier and they wont lose out on content. they just receive their's a couple of days later than $10 tier. $5 Tier is still what most people will choose, tier $10 is to reward the few who wants to give extra. Styro's pretty much hit the nail on the head as well. I'm struggling to come up with idea's for patreon rewards. I am doing some WIP, in the form of previews and sharing some of my ideas. With polls, I do want to eventually do some in future. just to get an idea of what characters people like, opinions on little things, feedback etc. But for now, my patreon is abit too small to get a good poll going. And I can't give away my files. early access and previews are really the best things I can come up with.
I haven't received any notifications for that post, no. I did just join the $10 tier, although I still haven't received an email notification for the post so I think Patreon only sends out notifications when a post gets made that can actually be seen. I wouldn't worry about it too much, I'm sure there are plenty of notification settings people can mess around with if they want to.
If thats the case, thats great then. I was worried that by posting too much, it'll cause spam.
How long is the final animation going to be?
Nice! I like a challenge ;) I'll see what I can do once it releases. And I have the Patreon app that notifies me as well as email notifications.
Oh man this looks great! So stoked
Sounds wonderful, sign me up
Oh, thank you very much. Didn't expect anyone to catch on that quick. The early releasing should be out real soon.
