Hey Patrons, it's been a while since I made an update.

First and foremost, I'm fine. I have been going outside a lot since the start of summer. I got some cuts and bruises a few weeks ago, but it wasn't that severe.

Secondly, I want to express my gratitude for your continued support despite the inactivity on some parts of my page. Speaking of my patreon page...

Tier Changes

I've been thinking about it for a long time. The reason why is the inevitable price increase among certain VAs, and 3d modelers. I don't blame them. Their work has been improved since I first interacted with them.

Another reason was the Spanish dubs. I want to do more. Hiring a VA to do a Spanish dub in one video won't break the budget. However, hiring them for multiple animations is what concerns me. If I want to continue hiring them in the future, changes have to be made.

Here are the changes to the following tiers:

$1 tier will no longer provide 1080p videos and will be replaced by renders
$2 tier will be discontinued due to inactivity. I posted wips on my discord far beyond this point.
$5 tier will no longer receive watermark-less animations + archive and will be replaced by 1080p watermarked videos. You still receive render collections.
$10 tier will provide watermark-less animations + archive AND future animated collections
Added a $25 tier for blend files. Paid props/private models will be removed for safety's sake.

This will take effect at the start of 2025 if my page survives. Contents past 2024 will be kept. This means if you pledge a $5 tier past 2024, not only you will get future content but archives of my past work as well.

I understand that this will ruffle some feathers for some of you. Do note that the quality of the work has improved since I first started using blender. I am no longer bottlenecked by my old PC. I can still upgrade my PC, but it will not happen soon.

Anyway, that's all for this post. There's something that I want to add, but this post is long enough. Let me know your thoughts and feelings about this change. Remember, this will go into effect in 2025 and onward.

Take care, patrons. As always, chau chau
