[Announcement!] Galactic Armory will now make OFFICIAL Trench Crusade Cosplay 3D Models!

Got an exciting announcement for you guys today, we're an official licensed modeler for Trench Crusade cosplay items!

This feels like such a big milestone for GA. As most of you know we operate in a weird space of companies liking what we do for them but not really wanting to engage directly with us. We're kind of allowed to do what we do - but as we've learned, that can change quickly and drastically. This is a huge step in the "Legitimate" business direction and with it comes a lot of safety and assurances for GA's long term success - nothing keeps me up at night more than the thought of another situation like we experienced with you-know-who.

Between this announcement and the Steamforged Games announcement last month it should be clear now this is the direction we're trying to go - getting officially licensed with our favorite IP holders to design top tier cosplay items for their communities. We're in talks with a few more companies to add to the officially licensed category but nothing I can announce publicly, and if we happen to have someone in the community who works with securing deals like this, please reach out to me!

What does this mean for the Patreon members? Well I wish I could say for certain. The reason I'm typing all this out is to try to keep you all as informed as possible. As we're discussing these types of deals the Patreon always comes up, some companies have no problem with us posting files here as well but most are going to want some kind of royalty from files released - even new Trench Crusade files we still have to figure something out! It's also quite difficult to calculate percentages based off subscription platforms, download count, or time-gated files. This is something we're still trying to figure out but I wanted to assure you I'm always fighting for the best deal for you Patreon members - it just might be different than what you're used to. Being official means there's a lot more hoops to jump through and rules to follow but I'll always do my best to support the people that support us the most!

I feel like I'm rambling a bit but the main points I want you to walk away with are these:

• We're actively trying to secure more IP deals

• How those deals interact with the Patreon are unknown and will vary

• I will always advocate to support you Patreon members the most

Thanks everyone for reading! If you have any questions please feel free to leave them in the comments and I'll do my best to answer.
