Some news! Please read at least the dot points <3
- I'll be announcing the winner of the ballot later this week
- next months rewards will be about a week late again, and a bit smaller than usual (I'll accept refund requests if you're not satisfied)
- I've been away for the last fortnight so if you've tried to contact me, chances are I haven't responded. I'll be doing so tonight and tomorrow. My apologies!
- the full desktop growth animation is still in development - I'm waiting only on sound now which is out of my hands, so cant give an exact ETA. Those who got last months HD video will still get the final version once avaliable.
- This months HD video will be both the dragon growth animation and the desktop growth animation, once it is completed.
- If you were a $25 supporter last month, and want to be credited in the new animation, please send me the name you want me to use if you haven't!
Some Longer Explanations
Because I was away for over half the month, I will be delaying next months rewards a week, so that I can put an honest three weeks into them. I considered disabling this months cycle like I have in the past; however, I decided not to for two reasons:
1. I WILL have content this month; I have already animated the last ~12 seconds of desktop growth animation, and will finish the remaining post work tonight. Over the next fortnight I plan on finishing the dragon growth animation shot in development, as well as continuing work the NSFW version of the desktop growth animation.
2. figured I can invest this months patreon money on investing in assets; I'm in talks with an amazing 3D artist to make a 3D character with proper displacement maps and textures and perhaps materials, which will be quite expensive. I'd also like to buy some stock assets for the environment and background models in the coming animation, as well as invest in some serious sound for it (including voice acting). So this month's money will mostly be going back into improving the next animation, which is what this Patreon is all about ^^
However, while I'll be putting in an honest amount of work this month, I probably won't have a lot of additional WIP videos like I usually do, as I'd rather invest the time focusing on creating content.
So, if you end up dissatisfied with the rewards this month, I'll offer a refund with no questions asked. I don't want anyone feeling ripped off ^^.
I'll be announcing the winner of the ballot later this week, and giving an analysis and my personal commentary on what I saw going down ^^. Until then, I will be accepting votes, so please get them in if you havent! Also, if you have voted, then please check your notes to make sure I haven't replied saying there was a problem.
That being said, while the voting is still open, there is a clear front runner which will win. It has received more than twice the primary votes of the next option, and is dominating the following rounds as well, getting three times more preferences than any other option. HOWEVER, I'll still be making some decisions based on the results of the ballot, so please do make sure your voice is heard ^^.
Thanks everyone! I hope your Christmas was awesome and free of family drama, and may this twilight week before the new year be relaxing and fun XD
