Rewards message change.
Added 2024-11-01 19:01:32 +0000 UTCHey everyone, just a heads up. Later today I'll send the rewards link for October rewards (Iris & Maya halloween, Xal'atath, Jinx Voyeur). A few things to keep in mind:
The folders will obviously be empty since none of the images are finished yet.
The files will be included once each image is completed. So for example, when I post Jinx voyeur the files will be available on their respective folder (PSD, JPGs, variants etc etc). The video file might take an extra day since the video needs to be rendered.
After all 3 images (Iris & Maya halloween, Xal'atath, Jinx Voyeur) are finished, I'll simply make a post saying the rewards were sent like usual.
Why the change?
As I explained multiple times over those past months, patreon is doing a change to force everyone to adopt the "billing every 30 days" system for new patrons from now on.
Let's say someone joins on the 6th day of the month, they'll be billed every month on the 6th. And it can be super annoying for me to track who got and who didn't get the rewards if I send the message on different days every month. So to make matters easier, I'll simply send the rewards message every month on the 1st day, and add the files as soon as the images are completed.
If you don't like to have to "re-check" the folder every time a work is completed, simply wait for the notification on the patreon's timeline after I finish all 3 images.
Keep in mind, in case you miss a rewards message in the future (let's say you joined on the 3rd day of the month for example), the current rewards link are always available on the pinned post on my patreon timeline. (this one https://www.patreon.com/posts/welcome-read-47136417 )
This is a permanent change. Patreon is unlikely to go back on their billing change, so there's not much I can do about it. This is the least disruptive method I could think of.

Agree. Since rewards are almost always sent a day or two after finishing the last work, it's so easy to miss them without reminding.

2024-11-01 20:22:42 +0000 UTCI really dislike this change. I do not follow your posts on patreon and only download stuff when your message arrives every month. With the new way I will likely miss getting rewards when they are put there. Please consider sending another reminder message (without link there is totally fine) when rewards for a term are fully done.
