Stocking WIPs, content changes, Discord, and other important updates!

Hey guys!

Thanks for sticking with me, this month has been hectic for me and I've had some random school work thrown my way, but I've done my best to keep up with a release date for Stocking!

Stocking WIPs:

I'm afraid that I'm going to have to make this Stocking animation separate from the original 2019 version. I wanted a model toggle, but due to the way I originally programmed the animation, that's not possible without days of extra work. So instead this will be its own thing.

Also I'm not going to go as mental on the effects as I did Rosaria and Hex because I noticed a dip in performance which is affecting ports and older devices. It's dumb, but I will be avoiding overusing the blur filters. Maybe I'll make a menu option for it... 

But either way, I have a few WIPs to show you all!

Flash distribution update:

Due to a few leaks, I have made the decision to start distributing Flash files via itch.io now. You will need an itch.io account and link it to your Patreon to download these files, but don't worry there's no additional fee or cost to it!

I know this is a sudden change, but considering DimPixels distributes through Itch too, and I believe I may have overlap with his fanbase, I suspect a lot of you already have Itch accounts already. However, if any of you struggle to download these files, PLEASE DM me on Patreon! I will help you, or just send you the files instead.

"Spring" clean update:

Some of you may have noticed, but I went through each and every one of my posts and did some needed clean-up and organisation; I also deleted old rambling update posts I didn't see as relevant to keep or had no purpose.

• I've added tags to every post, and added my posts to their proper categories. Now you can see the full list of posts by just going to the supplied tags and categories!

•  I noticed most of my links were now dead or inactive, so I will be editing every single post that has links or files for offer. (I have not yet done this, I will do it soon)

• I remembered Animation Breakdowns were something I used to offer and I will resume them.

• I will be uploading my old art packs from 2019-2023 for you all to download, and will be supplying a folder full of 2024 art that you can download at the end of December!

  • I may return to monthly art packs, but I do not want to promise something like that just yet.

  • If enough of you want that, I can make it happen.

Returning and new content, and a Discord server update:

As I was doing my clean, I found a bunch of posts for First Mates that had .clip files and my original Animation Breakdown posts from 2020. Starting next month, I will be bringing back .clip file downloads, regular demos, Animation Breakdowns, and what most of you are likely interested in: My nud- I mean... monthly requests and Design Council roles.
Not every animation will have a demo, and not every image will come with a .clip file, but I can do better at making them available more frequently. I will post more info in the First Mate master post.

Now for Discord server updates! 
I am FAR more active on Discord than I am on Patreon, and I often post WIPs and keep people in a more immediate loop there too, so I do suggest joining my Discord to keep up to date. You'll find the invite link in your tier's specific master post, so keep an eye out for that! 

Aaaaand I believe that's everything!
I'm sorry for writing an essay of an update for you all, but I've been busy and I want you all to have easy access to everything. If you have any questions, issues, worries, or anything please don't hesitate to DM me! I will do my best to help!
Thank you!
