Thank yall for voting in the special midmonth poll- Akello WILL be getting some pretty ink work done.
Atlas has done more outfit styling for him, so look forward to that post coming soon.
Both Amir and Mori's concept galleries are up (check the backlog, they're tagged as "gallery")
Galleria fills went up last week
Q&A#11 went out yesterday
I have plans to do a longer audio form one now that my voice is back so be sure to leave me any questions you might have about writing or the writing process in general either here or on discord.
So every quarter me and my partner have a business meeting and go over numbers, goals, etc for the period and figure out if we need to make any changes. Amir's chapter hasn't brought in as many patrons as I had hoped and the patreon's growth is kind of chilling out in the same spot.
Nobody freak out, however, this isn't bad news! We're very steady at the amount we're pulling in and that's fantastic, but part of making commercial projects is trying to find ways to grow.
The reason I'm bringing it up is because I'm trying out some new social media strategies and you may see me sending out more patron content or shaking up the posting schedule.
The other reason I'm bringing this up now as that at the end of Q4, we'll have another meeting and possibly discuss some larger ways to keep TCM growing and pulling in enough to cover all the costs. (we're getting close but we're not quite there yet)
SO there's no reason for alarm, I just want to be upfront that we may see some structural changes in the future- possibly revisiting the patreon rewards, adjusting the game's release schedule, stuff like that and want to make sure there's lots of visibility and time for feedback. Transparency is really important to me so that's why I wanted to take a second to address this early.
I did finally get some anniversary merch completed for TCM's one year this month!
I know going's been a little slow but hang tight... I need to figure out what I'm going to do about shipping and then I'll be able to move ahead with making them available.
Also also, the invite url to the TCM discord has been temporarily disabled. We had about 5 spam/troll accounts come in an dump some inappropriate memes on us. All the accounts have been banned but I'm locking the server down just until the end of the weekend as I assume they'll lose interest quickly.
