First, the update! We're going to begin requesting July reward info from everyone later today, in an effort to try something a bit different in how we process them on our end. We will also be using a Google form for reward information collection this month, as it seems like a much more organized way to gather details. Our hope is to be able to spread rewards out through the month from now on, a few each week, to avoid a big push at the end. The big push is why June's are currently late, and we think this new system will allow us to dodge that outcome in the future.

Second, since our $100 tier is currently at capacity, would there be any interest in us opening up a $50-60 tier again. The art reward options would fall somewhere between those offered to $20-30 patrons and those offered to $100 patrons. Additionally, it would come with a 15% discount, rather than 5%, 10%, or 20%. It would likely also be a limited tier, but not as limited as the $100 tier. More like 10-15 slots maybe? Is anyone interested in seeing that as an option? If so, what sort of art reward options would you want to see?

Third, in reference to the image above, we'd love ideas. What sort of bases would y'all like to see? We have July's planned, but we haven't come up with anything for months beyond July. We're looking for the following types of suggestions:

-YCH Situational Base (SFW or NSFW) - can be a link to an inspiration photograph
-Limited Option Lineart/Bases
-Expansive Species Bases

If suggesting a species, please note if you'd prefer to see it as a limited option or expansive base.

Fourth, what sorts of YCHs do you want to see? We're looking for the following types of suggestions:

-Mega YCH (7-20 charcters)
-Limited Slot YCH (single character, flat sale, 2-3 slots)
-Single Slot Auctionable YCH (1-3 characters)
-One-of-a-Kind Auctionable YCH feat. Our OCs (single purchasable character slot) - You can find our OCs here - Please keep these PG-13 or R at worst, nothing sexually explicit please.

Please note which type of YCH you would most like to see your idea executed as. We may even institute a discount to the person who suggested a YCH idea we end up using if they choose to purchase it.

Fifth, since we passed our final Patreon goal milestone, what sort of things would you potentially want to see us offer for future milestones if we made new stretch goals? Also, can we just say, we never expected to get this far. So, like... we are literally out of ideas. And, as an update on milestone promises, we're trying to schedule in 2 comic pages for July and also still researching merch shops. If we're gonna do it, we wanna do it right. Too many merch horror stories to rush it and get it wrong.

Sixth, one more update! Our Trello now includes projected start dates for batches on each "batch break" card. They are estimates. Things will occasionally be off by a few days in either direction, but these should give you a pretty good idea of when you can expect your slot to come up.

We think that's it for now. We would love as much input as you're willing to give. Everyone's opinion counts the same.
