AUGUST 2019 (Patreon)

The August polls are up!

You can also start submitting nominations for September. And the August stream recordings are uploaded for those interested! 

PATREON NEWS

★ Midna project has a .WEBM repository in the Gallery now so I can post previews of the segments without needing to break workflow to compile the entire thing.  Should make updates more frequent!

SITE NEWS

★  Fixed a couple issues on the Poll page
★  Added Commission page
★  Added User Account page

COMMISSION PAGE - To fix my inboxes being flooded beyond comprehension.  The system isn't activated yet, but it's ready for when I'm finished clearing stuff out.  So for you lads who've been pinging for new coms, they're slowly getting there!  When it's actually ready to be used there'll be a shitpost video announcement on Twitter and whatnot. If you have any feedback on it in the meantime, let me know.

USER ACCOUNTS - Now when you log in there'll be a user icon in the upper right, you can access your site account page by clicking that or your username next to it.

Basically it tracks your support and gives you a "level" based on how active you've been on the site!  I thought this would encourage engagement a little and be a fun thing to have on the side, because I've always liked Newgrounds' leveling system and thought there might be a way to do something similar with this whole Patreon thing.

You gain 1 level for every:

• 1 month of support
• 5 nominations
• 5 poll votes
• 50 items tagged - I thought this would be enough to be a little reward for people who've been helping with the NEEDS_TAGGED backlog, but still be little enough for someone to not get level hungry and start tagging for the hell of it.  Additionally I've put a limit on tags, so each item can only have 5 max and this doesn't risk turning into a booru clusterfuck where there's the same tag phrased 10 different ways.

Note that these ratios were pulled out my ass, so if you have any feedback or recommendations on how to handle that formula I'm all ears!

Also for those wondering, the tier classes are based on that old fetish iceberg picture - Pure, Normie, Weird, Creep, Degenerate, Corrupted, Irredeemable, Fallen and Ascended - spaced out between level 1 and 100.

Additionally it tracks:

• Total Months - total months you've supported the campaign in any tier.
• Month streak - total months in a row you've supported the campaign in any tier.
• Tier streak - total months in a row you've supported the campaign in the same tier (going up a tier won't break your tier streak).

Note that Patreon's API doesn't give me a history of who pledged for each specific month - only current pledges, so to "level up" you'll need to log into the Gallery at least once during each month so it can record your pledge into the new tracker table.  Months are being tracked starting today! 

ADDITIONAL NEWS 

★  So a Discord server is back in the cards I've been thinking about.  Someone pointed out that it would be a good way to keep you aware of when streams and polls go up, which makes sense.  The primary worry with a Discord server is I fear it would turn into moderator-hell and fetish wars, but maybe something small with a general shitposting room and then rooms to ping when I upload something would be alright?  If you have suggestions I'm all ears.

Thanks, lads!  Expect some yearly Halloween stuff to start popping up during September~.
