Karniktus - Some Changes


infoAbout This Title

This change won’t happen immediately. I need to test the format first and see whether it’s feasible. For now, I’d like to hear your opinions and suggestions.

Most people, including me, prefer longer animations, but not ones that drag out a scene unnecessarily, with most of the runtime spent on cutscenes and only a small portion focused on the spicy content.

If this plan moves forward, I may discontinue the current format of releasing one public video and one Patreon-exclusive video.

The amount of effort required to make two animations in that format is often nearly the same as producing one longer Early Access animation. When combined, the public and Patreon videos usually have a total runtime of around 4–5 minutes.

Early Access Route

Following the Early Access Route would involve the following changes:

Longer animations would become A BIT MORE COMMON.

The estimated runtime would be around 4–6 minutes, excluding the thank-you message at the end.

A longer animation would allow me to combine two or three kinks into one video instead of splitting them between a public and a Patreon release, similar to my Zoey anniversary animation.

Early Access releases would remain exclusive for an extended period before becoming public. Possibly two weeks, one month, or I wouldn't announce it at all. (suggested by my discord mod @BringaBones).

I understand that some people, especially those who watch for free, may not like the idea of waiting that long. However, I think an extended Early Access period is a better compromise than putting the animation behind a permanent paywall.

Short Videos Under Two Minutes

I’m not sure yet whether short videos would also follow the Early Access format. If they do, they would surely become public after one week.

Short animations would be released between longer projects to give me a break. Some concepts work better as short videos.

Short animations would be under two minutes long, similar to the Susie public animation.

Allow me to experiment with old and new kinks and see whether they could become recurring themes. An example is the Facehugger.

Shorter Videos Under 30 Seconds

I’ve mentioned this idea before, and I still want to try it. Sometimes I want to create a concept quickly and see the finished result without turning it into a full lenghty animation.

These would function like short demonstrations of a specific kink or idea.

Everyone would be able to view them, with no Early Access period. They would be marked as “Free for Everyone,” similar to the thumbnail for Grace x Licker.

Occasionally...

There will be some animations that will be PATREON EXCLUSIVE ONLY, especially for long and short animations. I'll think about this more and decide.

Why Long Animations Can’t Be Frequent

I said longer animations would become “A BIT MORE COMMON” because the workload involved can be exhausting. In fact, I started forming this poll post after the pt. 1 Soraka animation, along with suggestions from the community.

Long animations usually require voice-acted dialogue. Writing a script is challenging for me because I try to avoid familiar tropes. I also have to work around the fact that I haven’t yet learned how to animate characters speaking.

For now, I would need to rely heavily on background characters speaking to the main character, a voice inside their head, or an external presence like the Entity in the Soraka animation.

A 5–6-minute animation also can’t consist of nothing but moaning from beginning to end. It needs dialogue, pacing, transitions, and other elements to keep the scene engaging.

There are several other reasons why I can’t produce long animations frequently, but one of my main concerns is not just burnout, but the amount of time required to complete each project.

I don’t want to leave people out waiting for an animation that has no definite release date, especially since you are being charged for it monthly.

I also can’t guarantee exactly when it will be finished or how well it will turn out, since tbh, I’m still learning and improving with every project.

I want to maintain a consistent release schedule because subscribers are charged consistently. My goal is to provide content that feels fair and worthwhile for both free viewers and paid supporters.

Why I Haven’t Changed the Format Yet

I’ve explained before why I use the one-public, one-Patreon format. It allows free viewers to receive something while giving paying supporters an exclusive additional animation.

I genuinely appreciate everyone who supports my work, whether you watch for free or subscribe. At the same time, I need to offer something extra to the people who support me financially.

Also, I can't please everyone. Not everyone is interested in the same kinks I do. Worm invasion and birthing content, for example, are relatively controversial themes, and I was surprised by how many people enjoyed them.

Some people were hoping for a urethral video or another concept but received a milking animation instead, which others were perfectly happy with. Combining multiple ideas in one longer animation could make it easier to accommodate different preferences.

What Do You Think?

What do you think of this approach?

Suggestions and ideas are welcome. I may have overlooked some details, so feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.

Also, I'm still on my break period. I'm keeping myself busy with games, friends and family, and model kits. My mind is off NSFW work thoughts, so I can enjoy those moments.

Tbh, kinda feeling a bit burned out already, but hey, sometimes it fades away quickly.
