January Patreon Topic Vids Finished (I believe), also Announcing the monthly Video 2x Topic Vote!

Hi everyone!

First off, I believe I have now finished everyone's January video topics! If I have not finished your Jan video topic, please feel free to message me and let me know and I will make it happen :-)

So I am now beginning on the February video topics :-) Just a reminder that the earlier I know your topic, the faster I will be able to record it :-D

Finally, I got some awesome suggestions in the last post that talked a...

Feburary will be the last month of Patreon Video Topics for the Shmup Illuminati (None in March)

Hi Everyone!

Here is an update that I am communicating as early as possible. This month, Feb, will be the last month of Patreon topic videos for the shmup Illuminati. I know it's definitely a bummer because that is a really cool patreon reward. However, the reason I am going to discontinue them in March and onward is simply because I don't have the ability to sustain delivering this reward at a high quality moving forward. I also never w...

Now accepting Febuary Vid Topic Submissions! (reply to this post or message me in patreon)

Hi everyone! 

I am now accepting submissions for the Feb topic videos! If you can , please try and get me your idea ASAP, because on Feb 7th I plan to drop a topic video each day of the month. There are still Jan topic videos that are going to come out. So the 7th of February is when I start switching over to the Feb topic videos (hopefully this makes sense ha.) 

Feel free to post your topic idea here or message me, I hav...

Everyone's Patreon Topic Vids Are Finished! (Pretty much)

Hi everyone, just letting now that I have completed recording topic videos for all Shmup Illuminati members that have joined. However, rather than blasting them all out at once, I will release them one per day, so some will land in the start of Feb, but those won't count for the Feb topic videos. I'll open the submission for the Feb topic videos on 2/7/2020. Thank you everyone for supporting! <3

Update on Patreon Topic Posts for Those Who Haven't Submitted a Topic to me yet

Hi Shmup Illuminati! So I have messaged everyone at the $5 tier about their video topic ideas, and I have gotten responses from most people. However, moving forward I could see that some people may not have ideas or be interested in submitting a video topic idea. In this case, what I have decided to do is open up the option for the patron to have me choose a topic idea and then dedicate video to the patreon. I'll start doing this if I don't ge...

Monthly Game Vote Instructions

Hi Patrons! 

Here is the structure of how the monthly game review (or reviewplay) vote works. 

Homies have 1 vote. 

Illuminati have 2 votes. 

Everyone has the ability to nominate a game (doesn't have to be a shmup). However, if a Homie nominates a game, the Homie cannot vote for the game that they nominated. Still though, that Homie still retains their vote towards a different game. Illuminati also c...
