Hello! Here with a bit of a general update to patreon.
I've been taking some steps to improve the general usability of my patreon for all of you.
First, I've switched my patreon over to the new layout, as of last week. Something you probably already noticed, but hey, might as well mention it. I think the new layout looks overall much better. I'll keep tweaking it a bit too.
Second, I've gone ahead and made new collections and updated old ones. I'm not 100% done, but it's most of the way there. Instead of one single BIG audio collection, I broke them into collections by year. I'll leave the old big collection in place for now.
Patreon is, at times, difficult to use to actually go back and find old audios. And while I've tagged a lot of them, my tagging has been flawed at times. I think a lot of my old work is still REALLY good, and I want people to be able to find it, especially the newer folks who haven't had a chance to hear it. At this point there's over a hundred audios, between my major releases and bonus audios.
While I do have MegaUpload set up in a similar organized fashion, not everyone here uses it! Some folks aren't in the $5 tier for it, and others don't have interest in getting into the MegaUpload archive since it requires discord integration. I should've honestly done this sooner, so my apologies.
I've tried to be thorough, but I may have missed some posts. If you come across a post that isn't in a collection and you think it should be, please DM me and I'll check it.
Next, I bring to you... a map! I've had this for a bit now, I shared it in the discord patreon channel, but I kept dragging my feet in regards to actually sharing it here. One of my friends has a background in cartography, and I worked with her to create a map of the eastern part of the main continent of my setting. This is where MOST of my fantasy audios take place (not all of them, for example the Kitsune Village series is wholly unrelated).
The map attached to the post is only 25% of the full size. I'll toss the full version up in MegaUpload for now, and then when I refine it more with locations and notes, I'll add it to Patreon proper.
One thing I'd like to do, if I can find a good place to set my tablet up, is do a stream on twitch where I go over the world map and connect every one of my audios to where they belong in the world.
I've wanted to have this made for a long time, and I think creating more visuals of the world like this, whether on a grand scale or a smaller scale (like what a city looks like) will go a long way toward improving the immersiveness of the audios and my setting.
