[ANNOUNCEMENT] Content pack releases date changes & brief FAQ

"During her production cycle's rest period, Subject R.4.01-0 is to be delivered to Mr. Montgomery's private quarters, and collected once more upon his request for production line re-integration. Designated research staff is advised to monitor surveillance throughout this time to catalog interactions and any anomalous events for further research, and surveillance systems must be heightened to clearance level 8 during her presence in the CEO's quarters..."

- Excerpt from "Handling Protocols: Nereidyl Production Unit R.4.01-0"

Hello everyone,

As you may have noticed, the past few months I've been having to roll releases back a few days into the next months as I've worked through render loads.

This has led to some tricky situations when it comes to keeping up with the end-of-month releases, but has also led to something I've been liking a lot, which is releasing content through PM links once more to ensure all patrons get their monthly pack rewards properly.

On the release dates, however, I've been playing catch up for a few months, and I've realized I have a pretty solid 30-31 day cycle set into my workflow, something that slashing 5 days out of just isn't possible to push through moving forward without compromising my work, which I really would rather avoid.

So, to address end of month releases, I'm going to roll the full content pack releases forward to the 5th of every month officially, starting with April's Content Packs, which will be sent out on May 5th. Sneak peeks/limited content posts will continue to show up at the end of every month, and throughout each month when possible. 

The full content packs will continue to be sent out via PMs on the new release date for supporters who pledged for the corresponding month (april supporters will receive their rewards on May 5th, May supporters will receive their rewards on June 5th, and so on) and will be the norm from now on to ensure proper delivery.

Below, I wanted to include a bit of an FAQ/TLDR as well, so here goes!

FAQ/TLDR

When is the new official release date for content packs?

Content packs will now be available on the 5th of every month via patreon posts as well as Personal Direct Messages with offsite links to your designated reward tier pack(s).

Why the 5th?

To realign my 31 day workflow cycle. Additionally, the 5th also lines up better with the days it takes me to collect suggestions and pinup requests.

What happens to my rewards if I have to stop my support temporarily/only planned to pledge for a limited time?

Regardless of the rather crazy times we're in, your support is the lifeblood of Patreons like mine, and I want to make sure each and every supporter receives their rewards for pledging properly. With this in mind, you'll receive a Personal Direct Message with offsite links to pledge rewards for the latest month you've supported on the release date.

I hope this will prove to be a smooth transition, and I want to thank you ahead of time for understanding. If you have any questions, please comment below or shoot me a PM!

Stay safe, stay healthy, and thanks for all your support! Stay tuned for April's update.
