Important! Changing how Archive links are handled
🕑 Added 2024-05-02 08:29:53 +0000 UTCHey all! This is an important one so please read this: Unfortunately I've been informed that my stuff is on the K site (a site I'm sure many of you will be aware of that provides rips and free access to Patreon content). I expected this to happen, and actually I'm generally pretty pro-piracy, especially if its enabling those who can't afford things to enjoy/experience more content/software (especially if that content/software is released by large wealthy corporations!), but I was hoping it might not happen to me for at least a while, because, for full disclosure, I only have a few Supporters and I'm not exactly making significant money from this yet (currently about £80 a month).
When you consider the length of my animations and how long they take, and that I do release the full flat animations for free (not to mention the power consumption of the days of rendering lol) it is quite important for me that to be able to continue this I'll want to get some return for the VR stuff, so it is a bit disheartening to see my stuff ripped and online so soon when I'm just starting out, but perhaps I should have expected it (and hey at least people like and want the content!)
So yep, I going to have to change how Archive links are handled, and move to a way which means they may no longer be posted on Patreon itself. I'll look into the best ways to this but it'll likely be either through sending the links through email/Patreon message, or by making a Discord through which the links are accessed, or just by changing the links each month. I'll do some research and find out the most frictionless way, so expect another post soon detailing next steps!
Thanks for all the support so far, I know I said it's not much yet, but I'm hugely appreciative of all of you OG supporters <3

I've mentioned it in another post but FYI Mega links will now be handled through Discord! You should have all recieved invites via Patreon.
