🔥Patreon Revamp! PLEASE READ!

The time has come!

I am going to be changing my Patreon tiers. After June, I came to realize how quickly things fell apart and how easily it was to break my schedule. In order to keep up, I had to put in extra hours for development and completing some of the backlog I had. Unfortunately, this has started to take effect on my health, both physically and mentally. This resulted in the many delays on content I wanted to post due to burnout. Things have been really rocky.

 At that point, I took a step back to reflect on this. These are the new rewards for each tier:

$1 Tier:  The Tip

• Access to Sketches
• A Big Thank you

$5 Tier: Get Wild!

• Everything Above

PLUS

• Early Access to Finished Illustrations 
• Early Access to HP & Side Comics
• High Rez Images
• Access to Patreon Commissions
• Monthly Q&A

$10 Tier: ROCK HARD!

• All of the Above 

PLUS

• .psd's of Illustrations
• Exclusive Access to Concepts/WIPs for HP and Future projects
• Vote on Upcoming Content

As you may notice, a lot has changed along with the names of the first two tiers. I feel that this will be more manageable for me and I can create a more steady flow of content for everyone. I took away some of the rewards because I became overwhelmed with the amount of work. I want to continue creating content more frequently, but I want to avoid causing any long term injuries in the future. I apologize for taking away some of these rewards. I will understand if you would like to un-pledge or pledge at a lower tier. I want to ensure that I am able to continue to work on not only Heartstring Player, but on illustrations as well. 

Which leads to my next segment:

Heartstring Player Changes!

This might be the biggest change out of everything. I will be subtracting the amount of pages I will be releasing, but extending the Patreon-Public page gap. I will be releasing 2 pages per week instead of 3. I really want to focus on quality instead of quantity. I love telling the story, but I want to feel good about my posts each week which will allow me to focus on the quality of my pages. 

As for the Patreon-Public page gap, I will be extending it from 1 month worth of pages to a full chapter ahead. That's a lot of pages! 0w0

For this, I might be making a couple of big posts for Chapter 7 pages. Once I reach a certain of amount of pages, I might post regularly each week. I have a better approach on how to develop the pages for the coming chapters, but it may take a little longer to release them. I don't have an estimate time for Chapter 7 yet. If you are a $10 Patron, you will see blog entries of my HP development. It's going to be a weird shift, but I'll keep everyone updated on release dates!

Now I want to briefly go over the highlighted rewards:

Get Wild!

• Access to Patreon Commissions

  There are no longer tier discounts. However, you will be able to claim a commission slot when regular commissions are not available. Patreon commissions will open first before Regular commissions and you will have priority in queue. There will be seasonal sales and special options available. 

• Monthly Q&A

  Want to know more about the HP cast? You can ask in this tier! I will select 2-3 questions that I will doodle and answer here. I might answer more if there are some really good ones.

ROCK HARD

• Exclusive Access to Concepts/WIPs for HP and Future projects

 These will be blog entries which I will explain in more depth about HP and future projects that I want to release. It will contain Character Design, Background images, Character studies and more. 

• Vote on Upcoming Content

 This reward has been upgraded. Instead of just voting for comic side projects which take a while to produce, you will be able to vote for upcoming themes as well. More info coming soon! 

I know that these are a lot of changes, but I've been holding on to some big plans that I want to start working on. Once again, I apologize for taking away a few of the rewards. I want to take better care of myself while continuously providing content. Thank you all who has continued to support me and Heartstring Player ❤

These changes will take effect on the first day of October!  There will be a reminder post about these changes this month. There will be a post on Discord about server changes released in October. 

Thank you for reading ❤
