New Goals, and Rewards - Are you ready for August?

This is going to be a rather long post and I apologize in advance. I have discovered a few flaws in my Patreon profile that are dire, and I have to change things to be at the standards of Patreon's EULA and Terms of Service.

First off where I messed up. When I originally signed up with Patreon, I was following and kind of copied Kihu's Patreon because he seemed to know what he was doing and I honestly had no clue. After some personal experience, and playing around with Patreon I discovered issues with the setup I was engaged in (which Kihu also later redid his Patreon over). I was basically breaking rules that could get my account suspended, or banned, and I was also finding it hard to work with some of the people who wanted the reward levels that included art.

The thing is I didn't really think about Patreon as a subscription based service, and the fact everything is monthly. Another thing I didn't realize was a thing, was pledge dodging. People who say they'll contribute x-amount just to access the content, then on pay-week they don't pay. I had a particularly unpleasant experience with someone inflating my Goal amount by upwards of $100, and it was just not something I wanted to deal with. I also didn't want to this potential "Art Rollover" where people didn't know what they wanted for their monthly Art Piece, and would start to accrue like a "tab", and I worried that what if a problem should arise when they decided to "cash-in".

So... I made a few changes.

First off the Goals:

1.) *NEW* "What Would You Like to See?", or WWYLtS Polls, will be enabled once I hit $50+ per month. I will create a range of ideas and themes based on my Growing Pandemic Universe, and you will help me choose which one reaches a Full Render Drawing. All of my Patreon subscribers will be able to vote, and I will submit the set of ideas to be polled for (7) Days.

2.) *NEW* Open Stream Requests will be enabled once I hit $100+ per month. This is your opportunity to request (1) piece of art that could be themed based on my Growing Pandemic series! The art could range from simple doodles, to fully drawn out ideas if I really love the direction of it, and my schedule permits. Please Note: A request does not guarantee a piece of art. If I disapprove of the idea, I will not take the request. All requests are forfeited when you unsubscribe, and do not roll over to the next month. (This is limited to the $5 Reward or Higher)

3.) The Growing Pandemic Begins... is a comic series based around the events that occur in the city of White Spire. It will be a prolonged series likely co-written by one or two of my close friends and confidants, and feature multiple opportunities for cameos of my patrons. The comic will feature multiple transformative fetishes, but mostly focused on: Muscle, Height (Non-Macro), Cock, & Ball Growth, as well as some Weight Gain. (Cameos are limited to $15 subscribers, and only when available)

4.) The Golden Goal is where I'd like to finally be. This will allow me to afford an apartment, and have privacy to accomplish all of my work uninterrupted. I honestly don't expect to reach this monthly amount, but if I make it... Wow!

If I achieve this goal I will start working on:

? Expansion of the Growing Pandemic

? Choose-Your-Own-Adventure

? Animations

? 3-D Modeling

? Comics

? and more!

Best of all, I will stream every little bit so you can view the creative process Live, based on my availability!

All these rewards and goals are effective now and I do still have a couple of future plans, but will not be added yet, as I will be evaluating these changes effectiveness. As a footnote, I'd really prefer my commissioners come to me for art, instead of Patreon subscriptions managing how I do my work. It's why I completely removed art as an option in these reward levels. Even the requests are not really invasive because it's just a doodle or a sketched idea. Nothing that goes any further than I'd like.

Anyways, I hope you guys stick around, and continue to enjoy the work that I create for you all as well as myself. If you have any questions feel free to send me a message via Patreon or my email info@blackoutindustries.net.

As Always,

-Troubled
