🌿 Hey!
👉 I've been working on a new licensing system for the shaders that should make things a bit easier for ya'll.

To keep it short, here's the rundown:
* Old system requires constant internet connectivity to Gumroad's servers. This can get annoying.
* New system requires connectivity every 48 hours, so you could lose internet access within that period.
* New: allows for more storefronts, such as ones that accept PayPal.
* New: lets me find license key leaks.

The new system would use our own servers, which opens up a can of worms with data privacy. I'd like to be transparent and have disclosed the data that would be collected and stored here: https://shader.gay/privacy.html

This isn't final or being launched yet! I want to gather opinions and feedback in order to make this as painless as possible.

If you have thoughts or questions, please let me know in our discord: https://discord.shader.gay or comment under this post

Thank you! 💚

Store & PayPal Update!
🌿 I'm in the process of rolling out Lemon Squeezy which has, among others, PayPal support!

As a start, the 💦 Goo shader is now available on Lemon Squeezy! You can find the links here: https://goo.shader.gay/
License verification and Discord bot verification are all supported, so you can get it and start using the goo shader now!

I'll be slowly putting up all the other assets up as they're ready!

--
In other news, the recent goo and hypno updates have fixed an issue with the verification asking you to activate your license when going into play mode. So if you're having that issue, try out the update!

Thank you! 💚

ValueFactory Holiday Sale! 🎄

🌿 Everything is 33% OFF with code PINE until Jan 2nd!

The Future of Gumroad 😩
Starting Jan 1st, Gumroad will increase it's fees to 10%+50c and 30% for any purchases made through Discover. This affects ALL creators. You'll undoubtedly see a lot of change in prices and platforms from creators in the upcoming year.

Knowing this, I'll be experimenting with 30% price increases and changes to how my products appear on 'Gumroad Discover'. If you insist on using Gumroad, this is the last chance to get my assets at a cheaper price!
My Lemon Squeezy store will retain original prices come Jan 1st!

Giveaways 🎁
A holiday sale means we're hosting some giveaways too!
Hosting a Bluesky and Twitter one, check them out!
