Important changes for the next months, rewards and early access (Patreon)

Hello everyone! We will be doing some changes this year. I also want to thank all of you for the support and love you have shown in supporting us.

It's been a long road since I made this Patreon page, and while at the beginning I had no idea how it worked, now I have a more clear idea after experimenting and checking how this worked with the community.

Now, the thing is... I've been having the same issue a lot of other creators have and fail in too, and that's having our Patreon change from a Hobby to a second "Job". I've been running in the same issue for a while now. That feeling of "oh I must do this for patreon" instead of wanting to.

So after thinking for awhile, we will do some changes to make everything simpler. This will affect rewards. I know some patrons will like or dislike these decisions and I fully understand, however I believe these changes are necessary to keep this patreon healthy.

CHANGES: These changes will be done slowly as time goes on.

Removing or heavily reducing the Early access reward: 

We have reached a point were I no longer can keep proper track of all the unposted/posted works. It has become confusing on my end and we have to keep it in our mind constantly what can be released and what can't. It's unnecessary stress we want to remove. Also the whole point of this patreon was to be able to draw freely aside from work/commissions, and putting them on a lock down kinda contradicts itself. This will start happening next month.

Voting: 

We will try to simplify voting, I'm still not sure the way we will do it but I have seen some patrons being confused about how the voting works and thus not voting. It feels convoluted. We will probably do these changes in the next few months.

Milestone extra pages: 

A way from my end to thank you for your support was making an extra page for reaching a high amount of support. However, this is kind of backfiring at me for the same reasons I point out before, it feels like a must and not like a want. So I'll remove it starting next month.

Cameos and Patron character suggestions:

Currently is not being used properly, so we will  try to improve those rewards and allowing patrons to use their lifetime support more often, this is mostly for 40$ patrons but will also affect the 20$ tier. We will plan this also in the following months while we check the behavior on these changes.

Game Development: 

It has been stuck  for a while now and that's not a good sign, I've been focusing too much on comics and pictures and kinda left the game aside. I will focus much more on the game in the next few months.

Change of Rules 2 Scene end:

The current scene of Change of Rules is about to end (not the comic itself) and will enter in hiatus for some time, this is mostly to allow other content to be funded and to take a break from it while I develop the story.

More changes like these may happen in the following months and depending on how things behave we may change or keep some stuff previously mentioned.

Thank you all again for the support all these years and the ones to come, we appreciate it a lot.
