UPDATE! - Milestone, Charge Up-Front & Animation Requests
🕑 Added 2017-03-01 22:01:42 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
I've only been on this site for a little over a month and it's so crazy how fast so many things are happening! You guys have been showing me overwhelming support and I'm simply speechless at the growth I've made during my time on Patreon. Thank you all my loyal Patrons! #Milestone
Now let's get to the 'Updates':
- NEW CHANGES TO MAKE YOUR EXPERIENCE BETTER:
Here is list improvments:
-All files are now '.zip' instead of '.RAR' therefore, WinRAR is no longer required to open new downloads.
-Polls will now be made for Patrons, for future animations you would like me to work on.
-A new tier is being considered. One which allows you to request a animation you want made exclusively for you. (VIP Supporter)
Not finalised but tell me what you think in the comments.
- MINI 'ooOLaLa' RE-LAUNCH: You may notice a few changes on my patreon page from time to time but don't be alarmed. When I started 'ooOLala World' I had NO IDEA how fast it would grow and so I didn't put as much effort into it's "branding"/design. So now I'm just gradually trying to make my page look and feel the way that makes it looks more appealing to you guys.
- Made the switch to 'Charge Up-Front': This a new feature on my page which will charge new patrons right away (as opposed to the end of the month) and then on the 1st of every month after that.
This will not affect exisiting patrons.
There are TWO key things to know about 'charge up front' -
1. If you pledge more to money to switch to a higher tier (e.g. from Super Supporter ($5) to Special Supporter ($10). You'll be charged $5, and then starting from the 1st of every month after you'll be charged $10 (like normal)
2. If you are new patron and join e.g. on the 28th of a month, you will be charged on the same day and then on the 1st f the following month but after that, you'll be charged on the 1st of every month as normal.
NOTE: If you delete your pledge & then rejoin in the same month or the following month, you run the risk of being charged twice to three times.
This feature will allow me to release animations faster & make ;loyal patrons happier at the end of the day :)

That's all guys! Once again, thank you for all your support and let's continue to grow together!

Agreed. Would love to ask for requests, but there are lots of Patreon pages, so a tiny jump for one request would be great and I would definitely increase my pledge if this would be the case :)

Good points I'll definitely keep that in mind but don't forget it's also possible to jump back down from tiers and so if you want to a personalised animation for one month you don't have to stay on that tier (thanks to charge upfront). You can basically jump up and then down tiers if that makes sense But yes your concerns make a lot of sense and they're the main reasons I was anxious of doing that tier. I think I'll wait a bit before deciding Thanks for the comment ;)

I would love to be able to request a animation, definitely interested :) But please remember that requesting a one time animation shouldn't = more financial support forever. Or maybe just a few dollars more each month rather than a large jump up from the top tier now anyway. It becomes very expensive when you are supporting a few animators let alone a lot as I know some people are. At the same time I agree that more work should = more pay.
