PLANS AND UPDATES, AAAHHH
10 years ago
General
Ok so let's start with the life stuff. I'm at moms until the 15'th, which is kind of a bummer - since i'm litterally two patreon stills from being done - but that's fine. That DOES mean I can get started on next month's stuff when I get home, so no biggie.
I still have no idea if I want to submit them as individual images or one lump-sum image again. Probably just do the latter when I have it all situated, unless I'm told ya'll would prefer it otherwise.
There was a period of time where I basically had no idea what my mom was doing or had planned, and the past few days have been 'I MUST BE READY AT THE DROP OF A HAT TO GO', but we never left? It's weird. I spent that time dicking around in flash, and I think I've come up with a neat way to do things. I just need to remind myself it's there.
I'm going to hold off on changing my patreon rewards for a month or two because I need to make a purchase in the near future, and I could use the extra support. BUT, I will still entail how things will change, so everyone has a heads up and can throw any issues they may have at me.
A: I wont be discontinuing all the stills, there's a few recent backers that I don't want to leave out of the loop -- because I think it'd be unfair, since they just recently started supporting me and changing things on them seems r00d
B: In lieu of stills, animations! I'll select one patron a month and work with them to get an animation out of the way. There will be some caveats and restrictions on these, unfortunately, and I'll come up with a full list of them when I actually do change things around. The main thing is to try and keep from spending more than half a month on one animation, and keep it something that I'll actually be up for working on.
C: Whenever I stream, I'm going to try and make it a point to do two -- or at least, one -- requested still. I was hoping to have dedicated request streams, but I'm not streaming often enough to do that, sadly. So trying to squeeze in a request here or there to keep cranking out stills seems like a better option. I'll probably end up making a new streaming overlay with a display for weather or not the requests have been handled yet or not.
Naturally patron's come first when it comes to requests, but if none in the stream are up for doing something with that, I might grab a few casual non-patron viewers and screech at them.
D: I need to be better about announcing when I stream. Throwing an announcement on Patreon, ontop of maybe making an advance journal or something seems to be how I should do things. Or maybe make a schedule and try to stick with it? More just a personal note for myself there.
THIS MIGHT ALL CHANGE LATER, BUT THIS IS BASICALLY A PLAN. Oh god I have a plan. The horror.
If you're wondering, the purchase in question is a computer upgrade. My roomate's laptop is kind of kaputz, so he wants us to pool some funds together -- some stuff from him donating plasma, and some excess funds I have thanks to the power company being pretty cool and giving me another month of leniency -- to nab an upgrade to my current laptop, so I can be better equipped to -DO THINGS-, and in turn, give him this older laptop to work with so he has something to communicate and do stuff online with.
I hope everyone has a great weekend! I should be back on monday to try streaming again, knock out those last two patreon requests, and start on the ones for this month.

Thankya for that. *Hugs back* I'm just not in a good position to really do commissions. Perhaps at some point in the future, I'll be up for it D: Sorry man.
