Weekly Update #103: Patreon Update / May VIP Poll Winner!

Heya Sleep Deprived Schrade here! Had a trip earlier so im a bit very tired, but Hiiii! I am here to make announcements and stuff to give my plans in advance for june and announce the winner of the May VIP Poll.

Patreon Midyear Tier Revamp

Schrade is introducing new monthly-type rewards for Super VIP Tier, And will be renamed to something like VIP Premier or something fancy like that. The rewards for these tiers were DM based custom stuff and I decided to add monthly expansions to that too per month, mainly because I want to expand my offerings of content, and of course to give incentive to the tier. VIP below remains the same but depending on the length of the project. The status of the tier having traditionally double the length of the other tiers will be moved to VIP Premier as it is now the highest tier for expansions.

What more. . Well that's all really for major changes, Investor VIP is still a personalized 6 task mini-story claimable via DMs, VIP still is unchanged with priority polls over monthly content, Supporter and + would still be having expansions monthly don't worry.

June Cycle's Summer Break

By the june cycle next month, I might be in my province which is uhh. In a very rural place basically, Might take that chance for a break for a mainline roulette, No idea how to work on NSFW stuff in a hut, But I will be trying to provide a smaller scale Bitez roulette, as well as 4 roulette expansions, Perhaps a special story that is a patreon exclusive, I'd still be able to make stuff!.. I think, Though honestly Im trying my best to escape the province stuff as I do not like to go there tbh AHAHHA. It's very, very hot there ahaha. But yea this is noting in advance that June will not have a VIP poll, and will have a special story for that month's June patreon reward. Rest assured, this is only for june. I do not know what will happen still as stuff is in the air. So I decided, regardless of what happens, I'll be taking a formal break this june. Ol' Rabbit needs to rest up for July~ Heat's killing me ahaha

Anyways, Important stuff over, Back to our May Cycle news!

The Convention of Corruption

Thank you for voting VIPs looks like The Convention of Corruption won! A map based roulette with a gimmick of going through different lettered rooms between X-Z, Each having 10 tasks in them. Each task eats through your corruption/sanity meter. Your goal is to do tasks to not let it below zero. Your goal is to make it through the goal, beat the boss, and escape the convention grounds. The tasks are themed towards a fantastical blend of references as different worlds converge with hot cosplay madness. Each time you lose you get to have a passive and drawback that will help you on your next try, 

So for TLDR would be, Map based CYOA, Like Quest, or Escape from haunted house. "Rougelike" features where you must "survive" tasks, if you lose you get to try again with a bonus passive. Its simplified dont worry. There will be courses to take in different sequences of rooms X, Y or Z. Finish them all randomly to beat a course's special boss task and beat the game. I hope I am making my point clear here in how it works. Its a new experiment I have thought of and the convention being some sort of multi dimensional thing seems like a fun story to go with a randomized set of tasks. I hope the idea works and of course. Very Fun! Thats my goal! Oh right. Due to this roulette's uhh. "Complexity" I will postpone the storyline poll due to the idea's incompatibility with the format, 

Schrade User Poll #4 "Project Retrospective"

As per tradition for months without a storyline poll. Please expect a new Schrade Reader Experience Poll tomorrow in patreon and discord, Where I will poll 2022-2023's roulettes and people can vote for what Roulettes were they were satisfied with, and maybe CYOAs too. I want to see what you guys think of the recent roulettes and what more formats stick, and what formats suck! Uhh. I'm quite sleep deprived so expect that tomorrow instead.

Conclusion

Schrade talked a lot of words again eh. Well if you're here, You must like reading!

Well I hope my actions for the upcoming future make sense! I am very busy with June and hmm. I guess I'd say mentally tired? You might even call it, somewhat burnt out, but somewhat not really, I am not the type to be idling around and I would like to make content in June, despite being a "break" Im weird like that, and that's not including the province thing. I really don't wanna goooo. Its really far, Like take a boat far, and basically no wifi. A Millennial's worst nightmare! Jkjk, I do not want to leave you bunnies hanging, So I'm preparing a special June reward, even if there is no base roulette for it in that month.

But yea, That as well as an idea of taking a slight break might be healthy for a workaholic like me. My patreon content is one of the things I do alongside a lotta side jobs. I try my best to keep up and yea I suppose im a bit sluggish as of late. My CYOA content cycles mainly feel the brunt of it as my priority is patreon roulettes. And Pixel art's more of a hobby I like making as a break from writing em. So yea, Even in my breaks I try to do other stuff I like. I.. have a problem don't I? AHAHA

I hope my plans for may's roulette are exciting! The retrospective poll is something I had in mind for a few months now, and this is the perfect excuse to do it! I want to know what my readers liked, and what they sorta liked, and what they didn't like! So I learn as a creator on what and what not to do, as you know me, im anything but . . sane? AHAHAH

But yup, Imma be sleepin now as man, today's a long day! So I'd like to conclude with a thank you to my patrons! I love making content and the fact that you bunnies support me fill me with joy and passion for making stuff! 

I just realized the length of this post. If there are any changes to these plans, I will mention it in next week's update!
