Hello Patrons!
After our announcement about our possible closure, many of you decided to show your support and appreciation for our work. Some of you even contacted us directly and offered guidance and a lending hand, which was honestly an amazing surprise! Sadly, we got caught up in the rhythm and urgency and felt like we were doing a bad job. However, your reaction proved us wrong, and we are incredibly grateful for that.
So, we have decided to continue for the long term, meaning that we will adopt a sustainable pattern of work and development. Initially, we started our Patreon with the goal of growing as artists and forming a community. However, we got blinded by trying to compete and forgot about these goals. In order to go back to our roots, we will be reducing our volume of work to one model per month, which will be entirely chosen by you, our community, and developed together. We are committing ourselves to updating at least once a week.
Additionally, we are trying to really flesh out our work and capabilities while staying on the stylized side. Although we enjoy and have enjoyed doing 1-to-1 models in the past, we want to maintain a good degree of identity and avoid falling into an endless market run as we did before.
Our Vision:
Our ultimate goal for our collectibles is to create something that you can recognize on its essence, but that you could also think belongs to an official collectible made by a big name. We are totally aware that we are kind of far from that, but we also believe that we are far from our peak as artists.
Tier Changes:
Regarding our tiers, we will keep the existing ones, although we have leveled off our Early Collector Tiers and lowered the price of our Investor tier. We know that these businesses have been hit hard with IP claims, and overall, the economy is not doing great. On the other hand, we have added benefits to our Collector tier. Changes are live, so you can check them on our Patreon page. Note: Please Review your tier specially if you're an investor so you benefit from the new lower price.
What About Project CODE?
Our Project CODE will still be worked on in the background, at least until we can dedicate ourselves beyond full time to our Patreon. This is a project that we are passionate about, but as you might expect, we are still bound to bills like everyone else. Nevertheless, we might surprise you sometimes with these.
So what now?
Currently, we are facing a significant and daunting project debt, which is why our proposal system will be temporarily limited until we can catch up. However, you can take a look at our roadmap to get a better understanding of the current schedule for existing projects and community proposals:

While some extras will be available to only certain tiers there will be extras for all of them with this drop π
Awesome to hear. One question as I was one of many first backers. Those the extra parts include also in "Early Collector Tier" or is it only new "collector and investor tier

Excellent news! <3

No worries, The early tiers will still receive the models released and almost all the benefits, but they may miss out on a few additional extras. As for the Investor Tier that it is now labeled as legacy as If you choose to remain in that tier, you will be paying a slightly higher amount. Unfortunately, we cannot update our pricing tiers manually, which is why we are recommending the change instead. Thank you for your understanding and continued support!

β¦does this mean that everyone in the early access tier must now switch to the collector?
