Early access poll finished and a reminder about changes coming at the end of the month.
Added 2025-04-05 04:42:19 +0000 UTCHey all,
The polls I was running on both my support sites to get opinions on setting a uniform length of early-access for releases have now finished. From the combined results the majority favours the '1 month' option so that's the length I'll be going with.
As a reminder, this particular change doesn't affect the structure of the tiers or what they get, just how long I wait before doing public releases for the 720p versions of animations and the lower resolution versions of renders. The original resolution versions of render-sets and animations still remain exclusive to paid supporters and don't get public releases.
Along with that here's another reminder that I’ll be adding a new benefit to tier 1 (Orcish Juggernaut) as well: Early-access to the 720p versions of short animations. I'm going to be shifting away from doing render-sets in favour of focusing more on animations (as mentioned in my post on changing my approach), so I want tier 1 to have more of an animation focus as well.
I'm not planning on dropping render-sets entirely but they are going to be a much more infrequent thing compared to what I was originally planning, limited down to new character showcases and the occasional special event.
Getting work and setup done for more animations is going to be my main priority over them.
So, I'll be making both of these changes in the last week of this month and will post another update after I’ve made them as well.
Other than that, I'm continuing to work away on blocking in my current long animation and will post another update + WIP set on that once it's done. I got hit by a big wave of inspiration this week so they'll be a bit of a delay while I do some final reworking and gap filling.
