With 50 or so $20 patrons, you have quite the number of personal renders to create. Last month there were only about 20!

Yeah I know.... I will announce that it is the last month where I make a personal render for ongoing $20 patreons because I won't be able to cope with it much longer... Only new $20 patreons will get one starting September...

Sorry to hear that, but it's completely understandable. The $20 renders were basically giving you a new workload early each month to go through before you could focus on the game. And with so many $20 patrons, it'll sideline you for a longer period of time.

Maybe instead of personal renders, you can set up a poll for $10 or $20 patrons on what kind of exclusive standalone renders they would like to see each month and the winning choices would be the ones rendered. That would leave you with only rendering a handful of special pics instead of rendering dozens each month. Or you could go with creating a really expensive top tier and limit it to only a handful of patrons for the custom commission.

Err. sorry, I don't get the question?
Right now, I have quite a bunch of "declined" patreons. But if I remember from last month, they get the chance to update their credit card details, bank approvals etc... and then, they can be charged normally. I only had one guy marked as "fraud" by patreon last month. So if your pledge hasn't gotten through yet, it's not too late (only half the pledges have been processed so far anyway as I type this...)

I also did get quite a few "new" patreons who pledged $20 in the last day or so. Which is rather fishy... They will not get the link I will send later tonight since their pledges are too late to be processed this month. I wasn't born yesterday...
I had a similar issue this month, had to reroute my payment through Paypal then straightened it up with my credit card.

Still generous of you, I thought it a one-time only thing.

You're not an "epic fan" (that's for $2 patreons...).
You're an "epic stallion"!

I got a message from my bank that said my charge was declined. It's not a money issue. Could it be that you're out of the country?

I fixed it with my bank so it should process tomorrow
Apparently, Patreon decided to move their company to the UK and this is happening a lot with U.S. customers this month. So, Tim, if it seems like a lot of peoples pledges didn't go through this could be the reason.

Yes, I was just informed. What a bunch of amateur bozos.
I'm keeping track of those whose pledge was "declined" so that they will be sent the links when their pledges finally get processed.
Until then, I just sent the link to processed $20 patreons a moment ago.
