"Patreon Canon" + Target Release Dates (Patreon)

Omni Here!

It's been a little while since we launched the Patreon, and you guys have been so very generous to become Patrons this early on! I wanted to touch base with you guys to make sure nobody is signing up for something without knowing fully what it entails.

As described on the page, our Patreon operates on a per-video basis. That means whenever we release an "Art Video" on the channel, your pledges would be processed. However, there's a bit of ambiguity on what "Art Video" means. SO! I want to establish what I'm going to call the "Canon" of art videos. Simply put, this canon states what videos count as "Art Videos." 

As of right now, the Canon includes: 

• Episodes of Smashified (a pair of Commentary/Noncommentary videos are counted as a single episode)
• Episodes of Splatshine (same policy as Smashified)
  
• Episodes of Smashified Live (upon completion of the character art)
  

The first episode of Splatshine was posted the day that our Patreon launched. But as you might have noticed, none of your pledges have been charged yet. This is because we have to manually link the aforementioned videos onto Patreon to be included among the videos that get charged.

Naturally, we can do this any number of times within a given month, so we encourage you to set a Monthly Max so you don't end up paying more times per month than you're comfortable with.

Since you guys have been so awesome to pledge so soon after the Patreon launch, we decided not to charge the first episode of Splatshine on Patreon.

Going forward, we just want you guys to know how everything works just in case it wasn't clear before (and honestly it wasn't that clear =P). If that means that some of you need to alter your pledge amount in light of this post, by all means, please do. The last thing we want is for people to go commit to something of which they weren't aware.

SO! With that said, the here's a list of the upcoming videos currently in the pipeline, as well as our estimates on when they'll be finished:

December

• Splatshine Ep. 2
• Smashified Ep. 12
• Smashified Live Ep. 1 (Captain Toad) - artwork still in progress

January

• Smashified Ep. 13 - in progress
• Smashified Live Ep. 2 (Bandana Dee) - This one's still a secret!!

Hopefully that helps you all adjust your pledges if necessary. Again, we can't thank you enough for your willingness to support us monetarily, and we consider you all part of our Smashified family!  Please don't hesitate to ask us any questions if anything isn't clear to you.
