Monthly Check-In — September 2024Posted on 14 September 2024 by James==>
Hi, James here. Another month, another set of updates. Good lord we have been in here a while. Well, we’re almost through lads. Last one was a bit of a rough time. It has come to my attention we should have been more explicit with the content warnings. That one is on me, my bad. I think in the future if it's something as serious as that I will need to be more explicit about the warnings.
On the 16th, at 10AM (Pacific Time) the official pre-order for the Karkat Plush will open up. We’ll make the usual posts to socials etc. I’m very excited about this. They sent us one in the mail and he’s just as ridiculous as I’d hoped. BIG UPS to our Art Director Kim for spearheading his design. We want to do more. I mean I'd honestly want to do all of them. We’ll see. We broke makeships petition record. I wonder if we can break their pre-order record too…
As usual, I’ve been posting tracks from upcoming updates for paid members over on Patreon. Since we decided to give away the commentary and behind-the-scenes stuff for free after a while we’ve obviously sort of de-incentivized a monthly membership. To that end I’m always looking for ways to boost that feeling of it being worth it for those that choose to join. I will say the patreon has directly funded being able to experiment with format, and do the fun sort of mini {S} pages we’ve put out. Will we do another multi-chapter visual novel format update like this? OK PROBABLY NOT, but it has been kind of exciting to see what we can do with the limitations of the tools and format we have. I want to see what else we can do, and that requires time. Thank you for allowing me to pay the very hardworking team for that time. If you have ever been on the fence about it, let me know if there is anything I can do to help you with that decision.
Alright, not much else to report on for now. See you again next update, or drop by and say hi on socials etc.
