So, about those Patreon goals... (Patreon)

In a classic Ru move, I once again underestimated the community. I set up a couple of patreon goals for things that I figured would never happen under normal circumstances- The first goal was for a longer, multi-minute animation because hey, who's gonna drop several grand on that? Turns out a birb will, that's who. x3 Second goal was to put some sound in an animation because it's not something I'm super interested in and otherwise would never do. Turns out that doesn't matter because some people like my animations enough that they ended up working sound into them by themselves. So in the end, both goals were met, even though neither goal was met. x3 So I was wondering- would anyone be terribly upset if I removed 'em, maybe changed them to something else? I'm open to ideas. Maybe I could make a model as voted by the community and make it publicly available, or finally try my hand at a community decided fully rendered digital picture instead of just flat colours like I've been doing up to now... I dunno. Thoughts? I don't wanna bait 'n switch, but... well I can't because the bait has already been delivered and eaten, hah. What would you like to see as a goal, if anything? Or should I just nix 'em and not worry about it?

A new goal incentive that might be neat is to take an existing artwork piece you previously did and "re-imagine" it as an animated clip. I'm sure there are plenty of folks who would be super hyped to see the still images become moving scenes.

As for the old goals, I say you're good to go to remove them! As for new goals, I definitely second the idea of doing previous, fan-favorite works into animations/loops. Obviously the difficulty scale for these are a little hard to pin down, but it's a good idea! Other than that... Hard to say, ha. Have you ever thought about streaming your work, even silently/with music? There's no need to talk or have a mic on, a lot of art streamers work that way. I ask because a great engagement activity for your community and a great reward goal would be to have one or two Patron streams a month where you spend some time just working on whatever you're working on; Art, modeling, animation, whatever, but doing it 'with' your community. The bump with this is if you're working on a commission--Where's the line? What if they don't want it seen by others? I don't know the answer to this, but it may be something to consider!

No sense forcing yourself to do stuff you're not inclined to do. I'll support you regardless!

Never say "Switch" to a spanking enthusiast like it's a bad thing XD If it entertains you to have goals, yeah, fan picked loops would be great, as well as turning good stills into motion scenes, otherwise keep delivering the messy and I'll keep delivering my little contribution!

I know its a completely different type of platform but your digital work is amazing as well as your traditional. Would love to see some VR related Avatars to use in Vrc or Neos.

I bet there will still be some good ideas for a new goal and in the last place you can take your game so you can take your time with it but still have it as your goal in mind.

I like the streaming idea mentioned by Bloudin and sonicmega's re-imagining/3d-ifying/animating of old fan favorites!

Ahaha guilty as charged! I will parrot what's been said and say you can dump the old goals for new ones, after all, in a way they've been fulfilled... sort of! I'm honestly just around to give you some money, so I'll be around regardless of what you choose to do as long as I can maintain it.

Couldn't care less about whether it has sound or not, the quality of your animations and models are amazing. Would like to see more long animations though, to many animators just do short loops, its nice to see someone with skill doing longer ones.

You should changes goals, like you said, they're done, specially if you aren't into some of them ! Change them for some fun ones, for you ! You can always organize a poll on a list of them if you can't decide/don't want to decide :)
