UPDATE: Road Map + Tier Changes + Scheduling (Patreon)
Content
Okay, this is gonna be a long one. Here is the road map for all the current characters and stories I have planned. Some details are in the picture but I'd like to explain how I'll be treating each series as well as future series going forward.(Main) If Hell Had a TasteThough there are likely a lot more characters I could give lengthy stories to, these were the five that I felt have the most impactful stories despite being minor characters in the long run. This series shall remain in color and I'd like to get at minimum 2 pages a week done. If I can do more then I will. This will be the main until all the stories have finished.
(Secondary) Black CircusAll 9 stories have been planned out, just a matter of chipping through them. This will be the secondary series that I'd like to have going along with IHHAT until all 9 stories are done. This will also remain in color with 2 pages a week minimum.
WARNING: Cream FilledThis one's gonna be an oddball as new episodes will be worked on after either of the upper series finish a volume. I'd like to keep each episode short if possible though if I need to draw more pages then so be it. Still in color, all 14 episodes have been planned out.
IHHAT: SECRETSThis series will showcase many characters throughout the universe from every series. These will be canon to the overall lore to each series and help learn about characters who may otherwise not have much going on. This will be in black/white with the occasional color page for special moments. I'd like to keep these short with roughly 26 pages. There is no particular order for the episodes. Like Cream Filled, these will be worked on in-between volumes of either the main or secondary comics. If I'm able to work on a page at a time on free days then I will.
World Gates, Buckle: Slave & Monster, Tiny Pets: Crazy Ways to Kill, etc.World Gates and Buckle will take over once the main and secondary series have finished. Tiny Pets will take over Cream Filled's spot once that finishes. Other future series will take over Tiny Pets and so on.----------Tier ChangesAfter going through the tiers, there are some changes I'd like to make to help the comics along so that there is a more steady pace. Below are the changes:$2 Tier - No changes
$5 Tier - No changes
$10 Tier - Since my own comics have the priority. I will not include the Fan Comics as part of the Tier. They will remain in the Dropbox and if I have time to work on any of them after my own work then I will. But for now, they are low priority.
($10 Tier) IHHAT: SECRETS - Will now be part of this tier. After much debating, I've decided that this series is considered extended material as it adds lore to minor characters who do not have large stories. They will also be sold outside of Patreon/SubscribeStar.
The Special Episode with Fat Blake will not be moved here as it was a special case and is not canon. If other specials get made, they will remain in the $5 Tier, likely with some bonus content, and later released for free.
($10 Tier) HUSH Artwork - No changes. Will remain focused on random themes and characters.
$15 Tier - No changes.
$20 Tier - Time-lapse videos will be removed from the tier. They take too long to make as they keep me from working on other things while they condense/render. If I get a second setup in the future then I will bring this back.
($20 Tier) Animation Gifs - Will be removed from the tier. Mainly due to other projects having priority so I don't have time to work on them. I will keep the current gifs in the Dropbox and if I have time to work on a small animation (roughly 15 frames or so) then I'll chip away at it. But for now, they are no longer part of the tier.
($20 Tier) Special Art Sets - No changes. These will continue to be character specific. Might allow voting on which character gets a set in the future, possibly a short comic if able.----------SchedulingComics - I'd like to be more consistent with my uploads so I will be making an effort to get comic pages on a schedule. Current idea is to have the Main Comic on Mons, Weds, and Fridays while the Secondary Comic will be Tues and Wednesday. I'll be spending the remainder of the week working on pages with the first update being on Friday so that I have some wiggle room.
Artwork - Artwork for things like: Ask the Cast, Poll Winners, Fat Lovers Club, original character art/bios, and HUSH sets I'll be working on during weekends as they'd take less time. These will be spread out throughout the month to mitigate the work load. If I finish a comic page early then I'll likely work on any of these pieces of art prioritizing Ask the Cast, Poll Winners, and Fat Lovers Club first.----------Streaming - I'd like to start streaming more often. Mostly working on the main comics and any side art I have time for. For now it'll remain on Wednesday but if I have time for other days then I will.Promoting - I'm going to start promoting my stuff more often on my public sites as I don't really do it that much which I probably should if I want things to grow.----------
That should be it. If there are any more changes that come up then I'll make a post about it. But yeah, I'd like to step things up which is why I have been experimenting with a few things as of late. Ultimate, my consistency needs work so I'll be working on that more. Of course life happens and there are simply things I cannot plan for but hopefully I don't get bogged down too much.
Thank you everyone for your support and I'll see you on Friday with an update to IHHAT Vol. 2! :3
