Future plans & new works preview

Hello everyone!

I'm still enjoying my summer vacation, for now I'm replaying <Baldur's Gate 3> lol. And I've also been giving some thought to the future direction of this channel.

For now, I can share with you my upcoming work plans first. Regardless of whether the channel's focus might change in the future, I will first complete the following projects:

• Christian Louboutin Queen Alta 150mm
  Yes, this is "a decision that goes against my traditions." As you all know, I'm not particularly fond of platform heels. However, over the past few months, I've frequently seen requests for platform heels in the comments section.
  So, taking this opportunity, I've decided to create the CL Queen Alta (proposed by one of my supporters). This will likely be the only platform heel I'll make in the short period.

  

• Steve Madden P-heaven
  Also proposed by a supporter—a pair of flat pumps. The design is relatively simple, so it shouldn't be too difficult to create.

  

• Brenda Zaro & Uwowo High Heels
  Two round-toe, vintage-like high heels: one is a Mary Jane, and the other one features a slight platform design. Since these aren't luxury brands, I'll focus primarily on recreating their shapes rather than meticulously replicating logos or other small details. Again, these are also proposed by supporter.

  

• As per current practice, all releases will include versions for both KK and HS2.

Future Plans for the Channel

After completing the above projects, I plan to adjust the channel's content and release strategy. Here are my current thoughts:

• Themes:
  The focus will still be on luxury footwear, but I'll aim for better balance across different shoe categories (pumps, sandals, slingbacks, etc.).

• Paid Content for Koikatsu:
  Similar to the previous RV Flower Strass series (which included flat, 65mm, and 100mm versions), I'll create all heel height variations for future designs.
  The most representative heel height of each design will be released as free content like the old times (e.g., for CL's Kate series, the 120mm So Kate will be free, while the 60mm/80mm/100mm versions will be paid content for supporters).

  Yes, I finally decided to start paid contents seriously in the future.

• HS2 Content:
  No new paid content will be introduced for HS2, but I may reduce the frequency of HS2 updates. The exact schedule isn't finalized yet, but going forward, the channel will primarily focus on KK content, with HS2 updates serving as a bonus.

• Commissions:
  While the upcoming projects are, in a way, a form of commission (as they stem from supporter feedback), I still don’t plan to officially open commissions. This is mainly due to technical limitations—I can't guarantee I'll be able to fulfill every request.
  Instead, I'm considering an alternative approach: periodically compiling shoe suggestions from the comments, then holding a vote to decide which ones to create. This could be a good way to maintain interaction!

• Release Frequency:
  Since each design will now include 3-4 variations, weekly updates likely won't be feasible. The new schedule will probably be around 2-3 releases per month.

• Pricing:
  For upcoming, the only paid tier will remain at 3 dollars. If commissions are introduced in the future, higher tiers may be added.

These are just my preliminary thoughts, and it will take at least another month before implementation—after all, I still need to finish the four shoes mentioned above. I know some of you guys might feel bad about reducing HS2 contents in the future, so sorry! I'm also struggling about it. Though I'd like to focus my work in one game, because I don't know I can balance with the free contents/paid contents both for HS2&KK, or not.

If you have any suggestions, feel free to leave a comment!
