The Future of Voting

Added 2019-03-02 12:31:58 +0000 UTC

Throughout the roller coaster of 2018 there was a significant loss of regular voting on our Patreon. There's a lot of reasons behind this, but it's really time we addressed this issue publicly.

As many of you had begun to suspect, Crow got burnt out on the huge amount of artwork required for monthly voting. In the beginning it worked out really well, we got a lot of new product out there, new art, and characters. All of that greatly contributed to our growth and the variety of content we could make available to everyone.

We definitely want to keep votes on Patreon. We love the results. But we do need to dial back on the frequency of votes. It's not sustainable for one person to tackle so much every month. Crow tried, but sometimes personal expectations exceed actual abilities.

Plus, with Adobe abandoning Flash and losing browser support, the focus has to be on the transfer to Unity, so that's pushed completion of art votes further down on priority.

So here's the game plan: We are removing monthly voting, and replacing it with sporadic voting that is based on finishing previous voting projects. I will update Patreon to reflect this.

Below is a list of art that still needs to be completed, in order of most complicated to least complicated:

Madaline -- Elephant

*For right now all new sprite characters are on hold while we convert Flash into Unity. The reason for this is that priority should be on existing characters with scenes over characters without scenes.
