Happy Thursday! (Patreon)
Content
Here on the Smashified team we love to keep ourselves pretty transparent. By that I mean we will let you in on how everything is working on our end. It's been like that for us since day one. You like it, and it keeps things pretty smooth on our end.
As you may have saw earlier this week we pulled our Gumroad content. To elaborate as to why, it's pretty simple. We can accept your gracious donations here on Patreon because we aren't being paid for the art specifically. We are receiving your donations just to keep working. While on Gumroad we are being paid for the content we produce. Think of it more as a store front in that manner. We couldn't be paid directly for working on copyrighted characters. As a team we decided that it'd be better to pull our Gumroad PSD's before anything against copyright ensued.
With that said we still plan to keep our Gumroad active. So what will be on Gumroad? We would love to use it for any tools we currently have, such as brushes and other custom made items. The Tetrominos that are on there currently, but it's going for free. Later on if we manage to reach our tutorial milestone you will then see those both on Patreon and Gumroad.
This however does not change the fact that our PSD files will be made readily available to you here on Patreon. Your donations are what enable us to keep working, and so we'd be happy to supply our higher tier patrons with them. Make sure to double check our tier listings to see if you are able to download them or not.
We are currently working on setting up dropbox folders specific for our higher tier Patrons. This way you'll have easy access to our content, and it will update instantly. Look out for several of those dropping some time this weekend. You already have access to Dixie Kong!
We appreciate your understanding as we evolve into this new product release stage. Thank you for your support. As always, we wouldn't be here without you.
