Announcements

Hello Everyone,

We see reactions and comments from our beloved patrons regarding the stuff that we added specifically on Tribes. So we are giving you a choice that will be beneficial for you guys and the team. We are adding additional Tiers to provide you with broader options regarding our releases.

DOWNLOAD LINKS

Starting this month, we added an alternative download link which is MyAirBridge.com. You can see the download link as an update for this month's Download Link thread. The main reason is that Google Drive requires space from your storage, specifically on the Shared with me section, for our files to be shared. The effect is that patrons fail to download these files correctly, causing the download to die or be incomplete. One of the reasons is that you need to refresh google drive from time to time to see the new models that we added, and some of the patrons do not have any idea about that. So we will be using MyAirBridge since it's always live and does not require any storage from you.

MONTHLY THEMES

We are still not giving the poll for February because we are carefully thinking about making the themes. Most of you liked Mythology releases; some prefer Tabletop wargaming factions. That's why we have decided that we will tackle more specifically in the latter part of this post. But in general, we will be keeping our Mythology Releases at most months as our major release here on Patreon. So you will still have Factions here—no changes with the total number of models for regular tiers.

ADDITIONAL TIERS

When we released Tribes this month on MMF, we saw various reactions. Some are confused, some are happy, but most comments are negative about it. 

To be clear, for those who are still asking in the messages, Tribe is a different platform developed by MMF, and it's separate from Patreon. Therefore, monthly models released there are not found here unless you subscribe on Tribes.

So because of that, we have come to a resolution to add additional tiers here on Patreon that will give you a chance to have Tribes without subscribing to MMF. But since we value your opinion very highly, before we implement something that will take effect long term, we want to know your thoughts about this. Here are the proposed New Tiers:

MYTHRIL ORE: 17 USD

-You'd still get all the models and benefits releases each month, similar to Blacksmith Tier.

-You will also get FACTIONS

-You will also get TRIBES

-This is NOT a merchant Tier

Now for the merchant Tier, we would like to hear your opinion. Unfortunately, we cannot edit the price on any previously released tier. So we are suggesting these options for Merchants:

OPTION 1: We add Another Merchant Tier that will include the tribes for 25 USD with 20 Extra slots. The Pros here are that it's half price cheaper than subscribing to tribes for an extra ten USD. We just added five USD. The negative about this is that another 20 different slots will mean more competition in the market.

OPTION 2: We will not add any merchant Tier but keep the Master Craftsman Tier (40$) where subscribers can access the Tribes models. The negative thing about this is that the Tier is almost filled up, and the prices are way higher than option 1.

OPTION 3: No Changes at all. You can subscribe here as a merchant for 20 USD or 40 USD, but you need to subscribe to MMF tribes to Access the models released there monthly. It is also automatic that you can also sell models from MMF if you are a merchant here on Patreon. This way, we will not add any slots, and we won't be charging any additional payment on your current Tier. And it's favorable for most merchants cause it's cheaper than Option 2. After all, you don't have to pay 40 USD for additional models.

A final note for everyone, we made tribes not only for capital gains, but the main reason is that we see great potential on file distribution. Unlike here on Patreon, when you subscribe on Tribes. You automatically get the models on your Tribes Gallery on MMF. No need for you to message us if you miss the download or missed the email since most of our messages from patrons ask for unclaimed releases that have not been sent on MMF; some patrons fail to download the temporary links in time. Also, some of you had broken or corrupted downloads cause of Google Drive.

We plan to make Tribes purely designed for tabletop PVE and PVP wargaming in the long term. At the same time, we keep the old themes and designs that you have learned to love here on Patreon. And we promise that we will not do the cartoony theme EVER again. We have established a particular art style and unique execution that most of you loved, so we will do our best to retain that.

For those who supported us from the start, thank you very much. Words can never express how grateful we are to have you here with us. We are getting more artists to work with us in the coming months, and we will ensure we improve our communication and marketing team cause we also hired people for that. So if you see lots of models being released this month, they may have been delayed, but we will surely deliver. Our community here on Clay Cyanide is always open to comments and suggestions, but please make sure to be courteous in giving your friendly and unbiased comments. We can read all that. We are just humans trying to do our best for our patrons driven by passion. That's why we are dealing and approaching this phase of transition head-on, with you, who continually support us. If you are still reading this, the team would like to thank you for all of your support and love. Happy Holidays and we hope that we all have a bountiful and blessed new year ahead!
