【Blog】January 2023 🎆

A new year, and a new beginning.

Hey everyone, it's RaveMMD here to present a MASSIVE blog to kick off the new year. If there was one blog to read this year.... its definitely this one!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season, and are ready to get 2023 underway!

Patreon Tier/Price Changes - PLEASE READ!

I will be instating changes to my tiers/pricing model starting next month.

My $1.00 Patreon Tier will be CHANGING to $2.00. The reason I'm making this change is due to how Patreon payment fees work. Without explaining to much, it is very advantageous for me to make this change!

To offset this increase in price, I'll be ADDING benefits to both tiers!!!

***

Tier 1 ($2.00) Patreons will now receive 1 WEEK early access to all new videos.

Tier 2 ($5.00) Patreons will be upgraded to 2 WEEK early access to all new videos.

Tier 3 ($15.00) will remain a donation tier, for the time being.

***

Any other tweaks to the tiers will be minor, and will be fully detailed in next months expansive development blog. I'm only making decisions that best benefit my Patreons and helps me continue to grow my studio. I hope you all won't mind the changes too much! 🙏🏻

New Look, Same Me

Next month, I also plan to bring another overhaul to the look of the Patreon. Last year around this time, I changed everything to the way it looks now.

I feel like it's time we get a facelift around here, so I've been working on all new graphics that best represent the brand. Miku's looking cuter than ever, so expect and hot new gallery of Miku coming next month!

So... What's Next?

My next "new" project will be another classic Miku video. This is another project similar to my Barbara video, that I started working on a while back.

For one reason or another, I stopped producing it in favor of other projects. However, it would very wasteful to not finish it and put it out for you all! It's not bad or anything, I just ended up getting bored with the concept. Regardless, I think you'll all still enjoy it! I'm more than happy to finish producing it for everyone.

The holidays has made working on new videos hard, so I hope you all don't mind this old-new project coming very early next month. After this, we should be back to all brand new content!

2023 - The Way I See It

I've been drawing up the roadmap for 2023, and I've put together my expectations for the year. Everyone's support throughout 2022 has been amazing, and I don't plan on letting anyone down this year.

With that in mind, please take a look at the TENTITIVE 2023 planner!

This year, I'm aiming to produce 9 new animations!

It takes me roughly 30-45 days to produce a new video, so I'm hoping to create roughly this amount of content.

I deeply value everyone's contribution to me, and want to provide as much quality content as possible! 💕

In Conclusion

I'm still working out exactly how this year is going to go, but I have a good place to start. I'll have my new Miku animation ready soon, whilst also preparing March/Aprils animations.

I'm trying to get ahead so I can continuously provide content.

Anyway, I've said a way to much in this blog. I hope you all liked the "less formal" style of blog I did this time around. I think it makes a bit more fun to read!

With that being said, thank you all  so much for everything. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to comment here. I cant wait to see where this year takes us, and hope you all stick around for what's to come! 💕
