Here's what to expect Moving forward~
🕑 Added 2025-06-30 02:04:45 +0000 UTCBuckle up, there's a bunch of things to go over today~
As the end of the month closes in, here's what to expect moving forward; This month I didn't get to work much on the VoidCrafted kit as I'd like given most of my time was spent getting the websites set up and listings transferred over to the new platforms. But I don't like not having anything for you all so I have a simple Rokcor model I made up in April that will go out for July, I will also, for the month of July, be changing the usual 50% discount to 75% I hope this makes up for not having a new kit for you all this month, but with that, the new site, and the lil rock guy, I hope it's ok~
That said I will be holding off on the Skorcian V2 kit for August so I can actually, put time into it.
Now once PWG's store front goes down on July, the store half of my site will go live. Same as usual, and I will be posting a the 75% off discount to patreon for the month of July.
Moving on, the Pipermakes.art subscription side of the site, this will go live August 1st. It is more or less set up, I just have to hook some things into each other, and let those listings go live. I'll post a link to the FAQ that's available on the site here that should answer most questions in regards to the site subscription side of things:

(You will still need to use the "mecha" password till July 1st to access the site)
Now for the folks that want to stay on patreon here's how this will work as there's a few changes I'll be making in conjunction with how itch.io's patreon integration works:
On the 4th of the month I will send out a mass message through patreon to all current subs. This will contain an itch.io link (or links) to the current fileset/filesets. (You will need an itch.io account to redeem these files) You link up your patreon much the same way you did with PWG, itch will check to see if you're account matched with the sub on patreon, and if it does, it'll add that fileset to your account~ From there you'll be able to download the files as usual, and at a much more consistent rate then previous~
Now on my end of things, itch.io's integration isn't automatic. I have to manually pull the sub list from patreon, and because people are always subbing, I will have set days when I pull this list from patreon and do a mass link send out. These days will be on the 4th of the month, and then each following Saturday. This will keep me from having to do this every day, but it does mean that if you subbed on say, a Sunday, the links for download won't go out till the following Saturday.
For folks that have been subbed, I will be going through and pulling all the patron lists for each month from Oct 1st, 2020, and mass messaging out the download links for every fileset since then. If you've been subbed since then, I am so sorry but you are going to be message bombed by me. But all of your past subs will transfer over to the new site.
Now for folks who have made purchases on PWG, Once PWG's store is down, I will be pulling the order lists from each listing, and the dev I'm working with should be able to write a thing up that will have these transfer. This should work, but I still suggest folks move forward like these purchases won't transfer and back things up from PWG. You still have around 4-5 months to do so.
This also further incentivizes folks to potentially want to sub through my own website over patreon, as the file delivery there is automated. I will also be changing the discounts up, with the patreon discount being 25% off, and the main sites discount being the usual 50% (Starting August 1st.)
I'm excited and very ready to have all this be done so I can get back to business as usual.
If you have any questions please ask 'em here and I will do my best to answer 'em~
Thanks for always stickin' with me~

Was in a mad dash to download everything just in case. Saw some I wanted to pick up, but I guess PWG turned off backer discounts. So I'm looking forward to the new platform so I can spend a bit more!

Nevermind I am seeing you can add additional email accounts to your itch.io account for exactly this purpose

Does the Itch.io account email have to match the Patreon email account/your websites email account to redeem the files? I have my own email domain and make a unique email for every website
