Re: Sounds like things STILL haven't been great....

I can do this every month if you need me too in order for it to sink in. Umm, no. I don't agree with your point, nor (I think) do many of Fred's Patreon supporters. But it's been fair that you should have the chance to make that point, as long as you are not obnoxious about it, and for the most par...

Re: One WIP Twitch thread to rule them all [SPOILERS]

It is a tip jar though. It was set up because people kept asking Fred about Patreon and donating. The goals on the Patreon are quite obviously generic ....... <snip> Honestly this is way more words and time than you've earned... Thats all fine and good, but words matter.

Just address the fact I pointed out. Its not a tip jar when you say I will give you X content for X money. Its an agreement. Words matter. This is not difficult to understand. It is a tip jar though.

Patreon complaints And no one is forcing you to put your money in the tip jar either.

Re: Sounds like things STILL haven't been great....

I don't think anyone disagrees with what you said as you surmised, its just how the patreon says at 2000 bucks per month support he will give 4 comics per month, which is again misleading. Doing 4 comics a month is Fred's intention and his goal, not a guarantee. He is trying his best to meet that, ...

Re: One WIP Twitch thread to rule them all [SPOILERS]

When this part time job started the patreon should have been updated to say in spite of 2000 dollar income level saying I will give in return 4 pages of a comic per month, this will most likely not happen due to my other job.

Ubu is right. And I am an old fan too. Since 2010. I admired what Fred did, and enjoyed his works. But The trend I have seen over time unfold has been giving less and less but asking for more and more. I have also seen him toss around emo stories about how bad his art is on the one hand, while valui...

Re: Sounds like things STILL haven't been great....

Why would anyone admit that they could go back to a regular 40-44 hour work week at a mundane full time job, when they can draw 2-4 pages of a comic a month and have total freedom from accountability? In a real job you can't keep living off excuses and personal reasons.

As an old friend of Fred who knows the very early days of MT, I don't think he tried to deceive backers regarding this project. However, I don't understand why: 1. he does not disclose his project finance. 2. he does not post updates at Kickstarter, although it seems like he does have time to updat...

Tell him to close the store if he can't fill orders and is back logged for years.

He should really stop accepting peoples money for things he has no idea when or if he can provide. He should also change his patreon goal of 2000 dollars = 4 comic pages per month, cause hes 12 bucks away from that and he barely manages 2-3 per month as is.
