AGL Patreon Status + New SFW Page!
Added 2019-01-16 21:00:04 +0000 UTCGreetings Apprentices! Your good friend and humble host, Din here to give a a quick update regarding some Patreon issues as of late.
A few months ago our patreon page was flagged as NSFW Content, which basically makes our page invisible. We no longer show up in search and most importantly we don't show up in recommended creators. For the past year Jes and I have been sending out surveys to new patrons asking how they found us, and an average of 75% were from the Recommended Creators feature. As you all reading can guess, with such an active community here, our post engagement stats put us as top recommended creators.
While our supporter exit percentage is very low (you guys rock!), for any business to survive you need a 40% new customer base. Without the patreon recommendation we are just not hitting that number like we used to.
So, what are we going to do about it? Firstly, we started a SFW patreon page for all FA updates and game builds that are 100% SFW. Next, build awareness from outside of Patreon. To get the word out, our flagship is of course the public release of Chapter One (sfw), on Steam, itchio and Gamejolt.
Most people's impression of Faulty Apprentice is still the outdated Tyranobuilder version, so we want to knock their socks off! That means, don't be shy asking questions, reporting bugs, or just letting us know if something doesn't 'feel' right when you're playing. We will have a build ready for testing next week so please look forward to it. After public release of chapter One, look forward to seeing Day 1 of Chapter 2 very soon for Patrons!
The NSFW version of Chapter One will be available to the public for $9.99 and the full game + bonus rewards is available for preorder. We have already started an account on SubscribeStar.com, a rival patreon site. Even better, we started integrating a membership platform into our own website. On top of that we have our digital store with wallpaper and art packs.
Thank you for supporting Faulty Apprentice on Patreon!
Din + team AGL

2019-01-17 05:30:45 +0000 UTCGood question!! We will simultaneously continue to post NSFW and SFW updates here as well! As for the other page, it will be purely SFW game updates :D -Jes

2019-01-17 04:36:04 +0000 UTCyes please (although i suppose it will split up the community, especially with the weekly events)

2019-01-17 04:08:07 +0000 UTCIt may be a stupid question, but I'll ask, if for no other reason then to be reassured. Are you going to continue to post FA SFW artwork here? It's nice to having both here.
