I know you all are definitely not expecting a post on Tuesdays these days, but I wanted to share something regarding the recent changes Patreon has made to the payment system, particularly the Apple in-App purchase.

From my records, there's a few of you who subscribes my membership through the app store from Apple, and unfortunately Apple is adding a 30% tax on top of your usual pledge amount, making it extra costly for you to enjoy my work. On top of that, they also withhold all app payments for 75 days after your pledge, which is pretty crazy as it will sit somewhere between Apple and Patreon for a full 2 month before the pledge actually shows up into my account. (I currently have a good few hundreds getting stuck this way and no way to access it. Thank god I'm not living paycheck to paycheck for the moment)

So unless you have a very specific reason to pledge through App store, you will save money by going through the pledge on a web browser before you access the same thing on your app. I don't think Apple or Patreon has openly told you this, but now you know!

This only applies to pledges made through Apple Store, I haven't heard any issues from Androids, or simply using web browser on your iphones so you guys are all safe from this!

Anyhow, here's something a little more fun: With us starting a brand new project - A Showcase of Power, a slightly shorter project featuring our incredible goddess - SalomeToes, I figured I'd work on some upgrades to improve the animation project even further! I've been tinkering around skin materials, color grading and cinematography with an upgrade to the latest blender, and I'm so happy with the result so far!

Enjoy the two little teasers of our absolutely beautiful Salome for the weekend update I'm preparing for you all:

 

Don't forget to check out the completed, 26 minute animation footage of The Game of Expansion, as well as the 2 big growth sequences for Job Interview Gone Wrong, with another coming this Thursday!

Thank you all so much for supporting me! I really appreciate it!

How does it work? If I suscribed via iOS app am I paying more or are you getting less? What works best for you? Should I cancel my subscription and restarting on the browser?

I'm getting the same amount as you would pledge on the browser, but you are paying 30% more (these extras goes to Apple). So basically you are paying 30% more for Patreon to exist in Apple's payment system. Apple also holds the payment for 75 days so I will only see it after 75 days from the date of your pledge. (And they don't give us an option to disable this payment option) You don't need to cancel for the month if you pledged already, but you can cancel the next payment and switch it up and pay through the browser, cost you less, get the same thing ;)

awesome, can you tell who is and who isnt on apple's wallet? im not sure if i suscribed on the app

I can tell on my end if you want me to check for you, but normally if you "pledged" while you are in IOS patreon app, then it will probably be through Apple (And the tiers are more expensive, say if you are pledging the $10 tier, you would be paying $13 instead) If you opened a web browser on your iphone and pledged through the browser then I don't think you are using the apple wallet? Honestly I'm not 100% sure myself haha
