Sunday Digest ~ Vol XXV

[3 new Swords episodes, 7 new Stars episodes]

Cut the Deck is on a boat!

Product Updates

• I'll close the STARS Crunch-a-thon tomorrow morning, funded or not. Daily episodes are currently funded up until the 16th of February. After it ends, there will still be 3 Stars updates a week as long as there are enough Gods of Patron to keep The Contract alive. Thanks again, sydrah2, nate5077n, bigwhitebear and AugustRain!!

• I've been talking to some places about how we can celebrate Quest Sprout's 5th Birthday coming up on May 1st...

• If any artists out there would be interested in drawing a Quest Sprout episode for the 5th Birthday, send me an email : swordscomic@gmail.com - the more the merrier

Cut the Deck Updates

• Still waiting on Swords: Cut the Deck! Any time now!! We've got some behind the scenes stuff to work on, like organizing some gaming events and putting up website pages and stuff. I've opened a Patreon chat room dedicated to Cut the Deck, so feel free to stop by and ask questions.

Life Updates

• I'm watching Dr Stone season 4 and a very edgy anime called Ishura.

• I feel awfully tired lately. Being back in the city is pretty loud, it's probably from having so much disrupted sleep. This heat is sapping my strength too... Maybe I'm missing some vitamins? When was the last time I saw a doctor?

• I haven't had an energy drink all year, which if you know me is a pretty good achievement. I'm definitely going to try Grape flavoured V when I find one though... Oh, maybe that's why I'm so tired?

• I'm trying to catch up/network with more people - if you're in Wellington, NZ and want to learn how to play Cut the Deck, let me know! Bring me a Grape V!

Social Updates

• BlueSky 30.9k > 31k - looks like we've finally slowed down

• I posted an episode to Instagram and it got 0 comments. That's pretty bad! 5 years ago I would have 100 comments in the first 5 minutes.

• I missed Hourly Comics Day! It's happening today! Whoops!

Patreon Updates

• We hit 1000 patrons for the first time ever!! Woohoo!!

• It's shrunk back a bit with end of month cancellations, but let's keep going!! Swords is now in the top #2500 Patreon creators! That's huge! Time to start a podcast!

• I'll keep the $1 tier open until tomorrow morning as well. It's better not to have too many open tiers, it makes things messy.

• The last of the Sticker Club content I ordered should be arriving tomorrow, so I can start sending letters out soon!

I think that's everything this week. Is 10 comics too many? Am I flying too close to the sun? Maybe I should double it?

Is there anything I should be reporting in these Weekly Digests that you think is missing? I'm always looking to improve. Thanks!
