Poll - TG Series Question
Added 2019-05-19 14:38:49 +0000 UTCThis poll will be for all my Patrons to answer as it affects everyone
I've been thinking about this for a while now as it's been brought to my attention a few times already and I have finally decided to talk to you guys about this as at the end of the day it's what you guys say that matter to me most as you guys are the ones financially supporting me.
Basically since I started the TG series, people such as friends, other artists and even some of my family have been questioning why I seem to be one of the only people they know who is making these comics Patreon only instead of early access. I always saw these comics as bonus content for people who are supporting me instead of a pay-wall but as time has gone on I have questioned if this was fair or not.
So my question to you guys is this, how would you feel if I changed the TG series into an early access model? There will be roughly a 2-3 month gap between series before they are released publicly so you'll still get the pleasure of seeing these first but after a long time has passed the older comics will be drip fed to the public to enjoy too.
This is a very delicate topic as I know I have advertised this as exclusive and I am worried I'll upset people but I figured I'd ask. So let me know in this poll if you'd be okay with changing it into an 2-3 month early access model or if you'd rather keep it exclusive.
The choice is up to you! Once again thank you for the support <3

Some have suggested giving a few of them for free so I might consider that down the line but we shall see how this pans out. Thanks for the help Ray :3

2019-05-20 20:59:19 +0000 UTCWell can I be honest.... It all depends how much you are willing to give people for free. Cus some people do support only cus they know at some point some of them get out for free. Otherwise ^^ it is all in your powers to X3 since you got the other hand. As you are the creator of all those beautiful Art's you Draw ;3 .

Perhaps they could be patron first, then turned into pay comics that people could buy for themselves individually if interested, a couple months down the line. And after say, a year or two they could become public as a means of advertising your work. This way, they retain the insentive to become a patron for those who want it soon and for those who want to see all the comics past while offering the potential for them to buy just the ones they were interested in down the line.

2019-05-19 15:47:39 +0000 UTCI guess some are fine, but I wouldn't post all of them for free. Most people have enough patience to wait a couple of months for the comics to come out free and not support you :P I believe that leaving it as it is right now is the best option- some are free and others are not. This way you would get sufficient support to maintain your workflow :D
