A little update
🕑 Added 2023-10-07 12:21:45 +0000 UTCHiho Patrons! Are you doing good?
I wanted to give you a little update about Patreon, their changes and the new features.
First: They changed their Layout (once again |DD).
Do you remember how they displayed posts with several Artworks before? There was one big Artwork, and all the others were displayed in little thumbnails in a row underneath it? I really liked it. It was extremely good for my comic post since the reader could see the pages and scroll to the new ones.
Now Patreon displays such posts like this:
https://www.patreon.com/posts/20-september-89519203
I mean it is not a bad change, but it is bad for how I used it for my comic before lol But I already have an idea what I can do about it!
Edit: I made it a collection >u<

Second: Do you remember when I mentioned how Patreon added some Merch Items and all? And I actually wanted to do that? Maybe you wonder why nothing happened lol I had spent a lot of thoughts into it and actually did some designs for some items. But there was a problem. For each Merch Item, Patreon suggested to me how high the amount of the reward has to be. Like for example, 6β¬ for the sticker, 15β¬for the mug and so on. I did not want to change my reward amount and make you charge more though Dx So I got the idea "what if I add one new Reward, the Merch reward, that includes all merch items?" The amount would have been around 30β¬. But... Then there was the following problem: If you as the Patron want that, you have to switch reward tier, and Patreon would charge you twice of course. This did not seem like a very good idea just to get a hoodie or what with a design of mine?! (feel free to tell me yor opinion about this though!!) So I scrapped that idea Dx

And this is why I haven't added any yet...
But now we come to the most recent feature of Patreon: A shop!
I could now host a shop on Patreon and sell things like Art or Audio (I dont have audios though, it was just an example xD).
With a shop, even non Patrons could buy stuff from it, and if I got that right, I could give Patrons a discount (still need to figure out how and if I got that right lol) So I would not need to make new rewards or change rewards.
I could put the designs I already made for Merch on there, for anyone to buy and use however (like printing it on a hoodie or wallpaper yourself then for example).
Then I thought: But what else could I offer as digital goods?! Since I usually draw my OCs and all.. xD
Do you have ideas?
I thought I could draw Phone Wallpapers, Desktop Wallpaper, maybe Discord Emote Sets or the like? I am not sure though if I should draw random scenes with foxes or use my own characters xD I think my own characters would be better and more personal? (dont know though how I feel when selling art with Hikari for example xD If I can, I would make this a Patreon only thing then xD)
What do you think of it? I would appreciate your input QuQ
And that's all I wanted to say for now lol x//D Hope you have a wonderful day or night!
