Help Save “Mariotravel209 Animations”
Here we are, ladies and gentlemen! The very first draft of the Goals chart is finally here, highlighting the rewards for my followers and milestones needed for the channel to thrive. Once again, this Goal chart is not final and can be changed depending on follower feedback.
How does the chart work?
The chart contains a set of milestones. 500, 1000, 2000, 3500, and 5000. These numbers represent the amount of monthly Patreon earnings needed to reach the goal. For example, if the Patreon page reaches $500 a month in earnings, followers will be rewarded with a new Shadow The Hedgehog animation. When a Goal had been met, it’ll turn into gold.
The green on the chart indicates the Patreon’s current progress. The horizontal bar also contains the number of active paid members.
Now I’ll go ahead and take this opportunity to go more in depth with some of the rewards you see here.
500
Shadow The Hedgehog Animation
When we reach $500 /month, my followers will be rewarded with a new Shadow The Hedgehog animation with a special crossover. This was an animation originally in production, but was put to a halt by the “Made For Kids” issue. The animation is estimated to be around 2-3 minutes in length. A special teaser trailer is also planned for this animation.
1000
Started From The Bottom and Headstrong 3
Reaching $1000 /month will put production back on music videos, “Started From The Bottom” and “The Mario & Sonic Tribute – Headstrong 3”. Teaser Trailers will also be released for these two projects on my YouTube channel.
Private Movie/Game Nights with me on Discord
This will also activate the perk of joining hosting gaming/movie nights on my Discord server. Here you’ll have the chance to watch movies or play video games with me and my followers! You must be a platinum patron to have access to these events.
2000
Luigi Meets A Combine Soldier (Remake)
Reaching this goal will resume production of the highly anticipated short film and remake of the 2016 classic, “Luigi Meets A Combine Soldier”. In order to resume production for the sequel, new scenes will have to take place in the remake for consistency in the story.
The remake will feature an overhaul in animation, vastly improved visuals and graphics, brand new scenes, new music soundtrack, and a Dolby Digital 5.1 sound mix with uncropped Blender shots (for platinum patrons only).
Since the scale of this project is bigger than other projects, the channel must be in a good state to resume production, which is why this is placed under $2000 /month.
3500
Short Films will Return!
You’re probably wondering, but I thought that’s the $2000 /month? That’s only for Luigi Meets a Combine Soldier, a project which was already in development. Reaching this goal will give me enough room to start work on new short films.
With every short film becoming more ambitious and complex, it becomes clear that one man can’t work on these films by himself. I’d like to jump into the opportunity of hiring teams and artists to work on my films, but I have to be financially stable to have this privilege. Here’s a sneak peak on some of the projects I have in place when reaching this goal.
Luigi Meets A Combine Elite
The sequel to “Luigi Meets A Combine Soldier“, where Luigi gets himself trapped in the world of the corrupt Combine Soldier and must confront his new enemy, the corrupt Combine Elite.
Resident Deathmatch
Hunk, the cold killing operative from Resident Evil finds himself trapped in the Half-Life universe and must find a way to escape the ensuing death match between the rebels and the Combine.
Art of Justice Sequel
That’s right! I’m even throwing a sequel in for the Art of Justice. Scripts were already being written for this film, but were shelved to focus on the growth and success of the channel.
Two years after their stunt in infiltrating the RED base in 1974, The Scout and the Sniper were hired by a mysterious corporate figure to infiltrate a top-secret base in South America, with the help of an old friend.
5000
Full Production and Independence from YouTube
Once we reach here, Mariotravel209 Animations will be saved from YouTube’s harmful policies and practices. My channel will resume in full production mode for new short films, short animations, documentaries, and much more. With this kind of revenue, I’ll also be looking into making animated films with original characters and stories.
If anything were to happen to the channel, I’ll simply continue uploading my work here and worst case scenario, I can always start a new YouTube channel.
What about Livestreams?
I know this was something I brought up, but after receiving some feedback from you guys, a good portion of you would prefer to see me focus on my work. While I appreciate to hear this, I still want to leave this on the table for you all. If I receive enough demands for this, I’ll add Livestreams to the goals chart. Once again, no plans are in place yet for Livestreams.
Let’s do this, guys! Remember if we can’t obtain these goals, it’ll be a bittersweet end to the channel as we know it. We can’t rely on YouTube for support, so it is up to us to make a difference. All it takes is $1 a month.
Choose any of the paid tiers above and let’s save the channel together!
