    The State of Ko-Fi

    Posted by Mastafran - January 3rd, 2025


    I’ve lost track of what I’m doing with this Ko-Fi Page. It’s been months since I updated it, so I don’t blame anyone who supported me in the past that stopped now. Now, I’m debating about keeping this page or abandoning it all together.


    Incentives

    My biggest failure is not no knowing what incentives I could offer on Ko-Fi. I fell off of early access content because I’m unfocused. Blackmask development notes and blogs are tough as there’s not as much I can talk about as a pixel artist that I haven’t mentioned in my Twitch streams. I’m not familiar with programming enough to explain or teach what my programmer does. The most I'm working off of is lore stuff I post on my sketch posts that's in a vague pile of ideas and themes I want to explore. But lore dumps aren't storytelling. I haven't made any narratives that are cohesive for anyone and I'm insecure about making a blunder of what the story I want to tell.


    Keep or Drop?

    I don’t know if I should keep this Ko-Fi page or start again? It costs me little to maintain and I already have the page. I wonder if it's better to move myself to Patreon where there’s more people who know about it and are there. There's still the matter of a real game plan of what I even do with it. The easy thing to do is to restart early access stuff and discipline myself to finish artwork in a timely manner. I can worry about the other stuff alter.


    Conclude

    There’s so much to learn about making this art thing work. I’ll admit there’s times when I want to abandon my online activities on favor of direct real life events. But, I know I’d be shooting myself in the foot. Perhaps if I take more time to step back, I’ll know what I can bring to this table.
