One Final Post

I will be shutting down the In-Tune Studios project, both this Patreon and its linking Discord account, on January 31st, 2026 (give or take a few days). All content will be removed from here, and once the Patreon money for January 2026 is finalized, I will be shutting it down completely. I will also be deleting most of my In-Tune Studios related content from my deviantART account as well (which is here, for the record; https://www.deviantart.com/tsuyoshi-kun )

If any of you are concerned that I've been forced to shut In-Tune Studios down due to some sort of legal troubles or outside interference, you are wrong. I am choosing to do this of my own accord. The reason is six-fold:

1.) I have barely posted any artwork over the past couple of years.

2.) I no longer wish for my name to be associated with this kind of content anymore.

3.) The disastrous sales of Hoshi 1x10 in late 2023. I cannot stress enough how terrible it sold, especially for a project I only did because people at the time were asking me for more content. I even went out of my way to make a second variant with different designs and dialogue, and still no one cared.

4.) In 2024, after deviantART took down much of my art and forced me to nuke my deviantART subscription plan for In-Tune Studios there (which was making me a decent amount of money, by the way), I lost whatever will I ever had to commission more artwork.

5.) An attempt to keep up content between art pieces with the Kim Balance story, a passion project I developed years prior, resulted in either dead silence or people saying they didn't care for a story I spent hours and hours writing.

6.) When I posted two new pieces of art in early 2025, barely anyone commented. That's when I knew I was done.

Now, mind you, not ALL In-Tune Studios related art will be removed from my dA account. Some will stay, like the Kim Balance story and some standalone pictures that won't trigger the dA mods. But that's about it.

I'm sorry this is how it all ends. Not with one last big good-bye, or even an image, but a simple text message. I'm very happy for the support you guys have given to both my artist and me in the past four years. But the winds are changing, and I must go with them.

So long, everyone. Happy trails.
