Patreon, Update 9: Changes to the voting system, July's Video Concept

For starters, thanks to everyone for your overwhelming support, whether you are a new patron or old, I really do appreciate the positive response.

It's taken me a while to write a new update, this last few months school decided to hit hard with homework, between that and work, my schedule's been tight.

Thanks to everyone for your patience this month. July should see more content.

The voting system has changed

I mainly want to use this space to let everyone know that there's been changes to the voting system. I mainly chose to do this for scheduling reasons. Like I said, last month was pretty tight in terms of time and, while I don't think July will be equally tight, I'd like to better organize polls so I have more time on my hands to work on videos, instead of spending a whole week not working on a video. 

The main gist of the change is that polls will now last a whole month instead of a week. This has various benefits. 

• It gives a chance to everyone who joins the server at any point in time to vote, instead of having to wait a whole month to participate.
• It allows for more discussion during the whole month.
• It allows me to add characters or change characters on the fly based on everyone's feedback. Instead of having to wait until the next poll to do so.
• You don't have to set aside time for a specific time to vote, you can just enter the server whenever and vote. 
• I can see which videos are the most demanded at any given time, this let's me brainstorm ideas even before a poll is over, resulting in better quality scripts and videos.

I made this change in hopes of being able to create more content that's favored by the most of you, as well as giving myself a bit more leeway in terms of time. I hope everyone likes this new system!

July's Concept

Since the new poll system will take a whole month and I don't really want to have a month without content, I've decided to hold one final poll using the old system. The concept for July's video will be the runner-up of last poll. You guys will get to pick the character that is featured in this video.

Back then, the concept was called "Vanilla-ish video with routes". I've decided on a more concrete concept. 

"Healing weekend with your girlfriend"

This video will focus on one of the girls featured in the banner above, as decided by you. It will include various paths, depending on your choices, a different scene will unlock. It all begins on a Friday afternoon after you come back from work. Your girlfriend is waiting for you home ready to spoil you for the rest on the weekend! 

Thank you

Like always, thanks to everyone for choosing to support me and my content. It really means a lot to know that my goal of creating the best JOI content is resulting in videos all of you enjoy.

Stay awesome! See you in the poll a few minutes after this post goes live!
