Hello dear patrons,

I wanted to make you an offer. Two comics I will never post, and why I'll never post them, in exchange for unlocking the first 11 updates of EDEN Season 1 ( up to them Truffle & Mia getting the radio ) + the first 11 updates of You Are the Guy ( up to us meeting The Mountain Bastard for the first time ) to the Public setting here.

I was just making a patreon ad and trying to cram as many preview panels into it as I could and got to thinking "dang, I'm really asking potential patrons to take a plunge here into something they don't know anything about. shouldn't I give them a preview?"

So, this plan is my attempt to do that! Currently I don't see a reason to make it rolling or anything (with more updates being made free as we go), but I guess I'll take y'all's advice on that.

Here are the comics I want to offer on this altar.

I never ended up posting this one, because I was worried it'd be misread, and instead I posted this way more verbose one:

Looking at it now, tbh I would've felt better about posting the first cuz it's got more fun artwork, and because the second one strafes a bit too close to just being boring moralization. The We ♥️ Haters cake is funny tho.

Here's another:

I had a nagging feeling in the back of my mind about this one, like "damn, this seems like such an obvious 3-panel, I wonder why nobody made it yet."

Well turns out somebody had.

And in classic form, it was KG Green 10 years ago.

It's always KC Green 10 Years Ago. Always.

It's not that I had never seen this comic, but I just didn't have it in mind as I was making mine. Somebody replied with KC's and I was like "aaah shit" and deleted it just a few min after posting.

So here's that. What do you think?

I know I've just handed you a CD "for free" and then asked for $5 for it like a hustler in the New York subway, but in this case you are actually free to decline -- if the overwhelming response is "no, keep it completely locked because that's how it was pitched to us," I will respect that.

I say give them a whole or a large chunk of one or two series! They are great, and if it helps get you more patreons (patrons? patreonees?), it is a win for all of us.

Lemon Tree

we are appeased, let the mortals have the forbidden texts

Don L.

I don't mind at all if you send out some previews

Star

i for one cast my vote of agreement with your pitch as i feel it may help to bring in even more patrons which is surely a goal of all us supporters of your wonderful content

Maisie K.

Also give us a 1x XP in You Are the Guy and we have a deal

Becca Anderson

Relatively new Patron here 👋 I think showing what you're offering will help you out so I don't mind! Plus the most fun thing for me is Being the Guy and they have to join our cult to get that benefit 😌

Connor Mueller

Definitely give out some free samples. Costco does and they're rolling in the dough; clearly it should work the same for you too.

Zeliatheb

A little preview is fine by me.

Jon Barker

Do what you want. Seriously. It doesn't affect me. Why would it? It's like in WoW, if new players can suddenly get their imps without having to quest for them then that doesn't change or invaldiate the previous experience and enjoyment I had.

Quick Fix

I think some previews are perfectly fine. It’s a great way to entice people to join. You could even post most stuff eventually and have Patrons get it first and be able to vote on what happens, but I could see that making some people upset.

Nicolás

Rope 'em in, Shen. More people means more power to The Guy.

Hope

I think this is an excellent idea. I subscribed mostly blind because I knew I wanted more of your content but I think some previews would be really good.

Jacob Mince

You do what you gotta do. I'll be honest, I've been up for like 40 hours and didn't understand what's going on but I do understand you want more patrons so do the thing that gets you patrons. You'll always have my 5$

dorito

Absolutely give them a preview! The more the merrier

DrCaw

The preview is a good idea I think

Ansate Jones

Let them eat Eden/Guy! (Also full disclosure I think your version of the screaming comic is way funnier)

Chris Myhalsky

You do you man, we support you regardless. 👍

Daniel Pringle

Absolutely. I think getting a taste of what you could get would make the idea of paying for Patreon easier for the people who may be on the fence currently

crashlanding

Post away my dude. The coolest part about being a patron, as far as the eden series goes, is being part of the hive mind that makes the choices. I'd even be fine with it being a rolling public release, if you thought that would get you more patrons.

GZR

The preview is a good idea so I'm good with them being released

Granite Grahl

I actually really like unlocking the comics, helps encourage people who aren't joined to join

ADR

So down for this. Go public and pull them in.

Hal 🔆

absolutely give them a preview!!

Wizerl

Well, the choices for those have already been made so they can taste how this went and maybe join taking futher decisions and impact the story better knowing what they might go for. I'm up for it. Also it's nice to see never released comics before. I kinda agree with 1st one statement that it might be misunderstood.

Wizerl

The cult must grow stronger

Sam Sharp

The first comic is so good! I want to wear it on my chest like a badge or like interpersonal caution tape.

Sam Sharp

(Bargain accepted!)

Letsan

Go ahead and take my $5. The free CD was awesome anyway and anything that helps you keeping this Patreon going, I'm all in.

Erica

I mean, you're still making more content in the future for these pick your next move type adventures so I'm sure it's okay. I would also suggest using the Bliz comic as an ad too though, since it's effectively the same thing.

Erin Hawley

Definitely okay with sharing a preview! It only makes sense to have something accessible.

Adam Akkari

free stuff is always good, go post it my dude

Kamis

I think do a sample of one comic but not both. I wouldnt give them too much all at once… Maybe release it weekly as a preview up to a certain point then, blam! Pay wall! Hahaha
