YCH Stories, Profile & Patreon Update + Wolf Peak Chronicles
8 years ago
Tales of Dragons & Wolves
Hey everyone!
5/8 YCHs are done from back then in November. And we are 99.9% certain that all will be done for submission to FA by or on the 25th!
Furthermore as you might have noticed we got rid of our Patreon Page. Why? Because we will re-vamp it from scratch. We will also be moving away from commissions and YCH stories to a good degree to get our Interactive Story 'Choose your own Adventure' (CYOA) style game started. That game is also the base for our future visual novel. It will be known as 'Wolf Peak Chronicles - The Game'
and all our 'Furryverse' Stories will be known henceforth as the Wolf Peak Chronicles. Wolf Peak is the city/region where everything is happening. Blizzard and Canis live on the highest mountain there, while Nate & Luke for example had a weekend trip in a ski resort up there
Furthermore we added our b-days on our profile just in case anyone wants to give b-day gifts. Interestingly enough we found out that Canis and Stingray9876 are born EXACTLY 1 day apart from one another. As well as my (Blizzard's) work anniversary being ON Canis' birthday! What are the odds?!
Apologies for recent inactivity, we just have been juggling much, but once you see the stories you will know it was worth the wait! Oh and if you are curious what we might do for our new Patreon page (coming sometimes March-April)... Well here is the plan for monthly donations:
$1 = Exclusive Game Update Feed + Special Thanks in Credits
$5 = The Worksheet / Waiting Queue for stories + Character List and other lore related info.
$10 = Access to Beta (when ready) + Very Special Thanks in Credits
$15 = Access to Alpha (when ready) + Mid-production feedback / influence
$20 = All of the above + every month 1 x 2000 word story written by us. + Free Copy of the full game when released. This includes the visual novel after the interactive text-adventure game we will create first. [5 Slots only!]
And there will be only 1 goal which will be $200/month. Once we reach that, we will get started on the VN. The $200 will be used at the start exclusively for Artist(s) to get the artwork started, while in the long run it will also be used for website hosting, marketing and additional guys and/or one-time cost things (i.e. freelancer for background music).
Thanks for reading and watching us! Looking forwards to make this stuff come to life. Canis and I are both super excited!

Also Canis and I changed our thoughts a bit what we mentioned in the Survey:
No Patreon after all, instead we wait with those plans once we have an alpha/beta we can use for public use and such.
1 freelance story - flat rate $20; we choose from the pool of requests we get (opens as 1st slot and closes after 48 hours); always 2000 words.
2 YCH stories - Auction starts at $20/slot, usually 1 or 2 slots. 1 slot if solo story or we choose a partner. 2 slots if 2 people can be paired; 2000 words unless if total is $100, then 3000 words.
2 freelance stories - Auction starts at $20, can include multiple characters for every additional $20 you get 500 bonus words - base 2000 words.
Auction start days are:
18th, 20th, 22nd, 24th, 26th
Each runs 48 hours so the last auction would always conclude on the 28th of the month.
This would start most likely in February - depending how fast we finish the patreon backlog ^^
