April News... and a Surprise Update

So, as per usual, I'm a couple of days behind schedule... but hopefully it's worth the wait ;)

My monthly news posts tend to look like a wall of text, so if you're just skimming, look for the topic in bold that most interests you, and hopefully you'll learn something interesting ^_^

WHAT'S UP WITH THAT COVER PAGE UP THERE?

I'll get there. I'm gonna cover that last, lol.

MARCH POLL RESULTS

As some of you anticipated, the winner of the March poll was 'Game Development', the question being how you would all like to see Good Girls and me expand and grow.

In a respectable second place was the Venus Angels comic which I consider a pleasant surprise ^_^ This poll's helped me a lot with figuring out if I'm growing things in the right direction. I'm glad we have similar expectations ^_^

Patrons can expect to see some game development news this month, but first I'm gonna hold a short poll next week about what kind of game I should start with (which is basically gonna come down to 'something easy to produce to get your feet wet' or 'go big or go home!' options).

The Results:

Animated Shorts 17

Venus Angels Comic 26

Exclusive Artwork 15

Game Development 38)

REWARDS/GOALS UPDATES

If you take a look over at the rewards and goals for my page, you may notice there have been some changes - in the wording mostly, and I'm the type of person who would prefer to add things rather than take things away, so don't expect to miss out on anything. In fact, this is mostly superficial right now, but I'm trying to lay the groundwork to include better rewards for higher patron levels, and that takes some foresight to make sure nobody gets cheated, or feels like they get cheated!

Speaking of rewards, I've mentioned before a $10 reward to have your own avatar for the Good Girls world... a teacher at Spring Valley High, a classmate, a neighbour... I keep meaning to roll this out, but there never seems to be enough time! THIS IS THE MONTH! I CAN FEEL IT! Details, etc. to come. Sorry. ;_;

NEW COMMISSION PRICES

Well, not really. But I am gonna be cleaning up the commissions price chart and make it easier to find. I also noticed that certain items are far more popular than others, so I'll highlight those prices to make them easier to find.

Also... I think I'm getting better at the watercolour style... It started out as a way to produce content quickly, just dorky little sketches and such, but as I produce more sketches in that style, I'm finding I enjoy the results a lot and I'm putting a lot more effort into it. I may start encouraging patrons who want a commission but aren't sure if they can afford it to purchase a watercolour commission. They're so quick to make, I can offer them at a far better price.

COMING IN APRIL...

Okay, we've got a full month planned!

This is what patrons have to look forward to this month...

Good Girls Chapter 4 - Cheesecake

Over the next two months or so, I'll be posting Brittany's story, a roughly 10-20 page story that will be very animal-centric, though not always... bestial XD This is part of an effort on my part to produce more feature chapters of Goor Girls ^_^

Sunday Schooled

If you saw the Easter post, you'll know this one is NOT getting posted here or on HF, but dropbox links will be provided to $5+ patrons, and ALL patrons will have that opportunity to download this one when it's complete ^_^ Sunday Schooled is scheduled to be completed within the month.

Honeypot Sweeties

We did it! We finally reached $200 (officially official now, lol, no fooling) which means the Good Girls nudie deck 'Honeypot Sweeties' is officially in production! I figure I'll get started with content sketches and some polls this month ^_^ If we play out 'cards' right (ha!) then we should start seeing some actual card art in May ^_^

Commissions

Commissions are all booked up this month, but talk to me if you're looking to commission something in May. Even if you don't have the funds, the notification helps me plan things out.

Good Girls Chapter 5 - Lollipop

SURPRISE! I'm working on TWO chapters of Good Girls at ONCE this time! I've had this planned for a little while, but it mostly comes down to this; not everybody enjoys the animal stuff. So... I wanted to provide an alternative! Why Lollipop? That's gonna be the topic of another post, as I've been wanting to tell this story for a LONG TIME now!

Lollipop pages will start being uploaded after Sunday Schooled is complete and simultaneously alongside Cheesecake.
