Big changes — please read!
🕑 Added 2014-10-02 10:32:23 +0000 UTC Hi everyone, as I indicated last month, I've changed the structure of my Patreon from per-item to per-month. This way I don't have to feel guilty about producing content; every time I published something I worried I was going to make things too expensive and cause a hardship for you guys. And you don't have to wonder how steeply you're going to be charged at the end of the month, or how often I'll publish. With the change in structure has come a significant change in tiers and rewards. I've added a couple of new rewards (semi-annual PDF mini-magazines being the main one) and spaced things out a bit. The physical rewards are priced somewhat expensively, but that's because they're expensive to actual produce and ship — I've set things up so that I won't be working break-even after taxes, Patreon's cut, printing, and shipping, which is unfortunately the case at the moment. You'll probably want to revisit the tiers and see where you are interested/comfortable in supporting this campaign. Hopefully enough of you will revise upward to at least keep Game Boy World funded, at least. If not, well, we'll always have Anatomy of Games. As always, I have no sense of entitlement about any of this, only gratitude. If nothing else, it's been a fun couple of months producing Anatomy and Game Boy World content and knowing people were interested enough in what I was doing to help fund my work. It's much easier to justify passion projects when you're not taking time away from making a living. Thank you for your support, which has made this possible, and please look forward to more content (and more frequent content!) in the days and months ahead. I'll be kicking off my first backer-requested Anatomy of Games series as soon as Bionic Commando wraps, which is pretty exciting. And finally, I will be placing the order for the Anatomy of Mega Man print editions (for those of you who are due one) by the end of the week. Expect to see those in your mail box by the end of the month.Comments

Mr. Parish....you're welcome to my bank account.

I somehow missed this last week and upgraded my pledge. Which basically is the same as I'm willing to go to the tune of 60.00 a year. While I like the change, and it prevents me from having to put a monthly cap. I do wish there was a way to somehow funnel my rewards to the Gameboy World side of things. I am only really interested in receiving ebooks for the game boy world stuff. (The Anotomy stuff I could pick and choose and pay separately,) but 120.00 seems a little steep just to get Gameboy World PDF's. I don't know if its feasible but would be nice to have a 5 dollar game boy world OR anatomy of games tier to get PDF's. Of course I wouldn't want to overly complicate things for you as you probrably want to keep things simple.

And here I thought you were just very dedicated to still make 10 articles plus videos last month, even with all the work-related traveling. Anyway, you've been doing a great job with Game Boy World and with Anatomy (I didn't care much for your Anatomy of the first Goonies game, but you made the second one sound intriguing), so I for one am glad to help fund them!

Just so you know, we are able to set caps on how much we pay. So, I wouldn't worry that we feel like we're being fleeced or anything!
