Cooling down and to all Patrons
Added 2019-03-07 16:58:35 +0000 UTC
It has been a very humbling time for me. Things have been hectic and I spent lots of time thinking about my project. To put things into context, I was sitting at around 100 followers for a year. Things were calm, I had no pressure, and I was thankful for everyone that supported me. Within a week, I gained 15k followers, received a variety of offers for help and publishing deals. Being a person who doesn't handle publicity and stress very well, it was a time of panic.
That said, I have calmed down and would like to address what I want to do from now on.
My plan is to keep doing what I've been doing for the past year. I want to continue the project as a hobby, which means the priority is for me to have fun with game dev and focus on school. I want to try audio design, animation, coding, and just mess around with whatever gamedev offers me. It is what I've been doing when I had 0 followers, 100 followers, and I'll continue to work with the same mindset. Thank you to the people that gave me advice to help me find this conclusion. I hope you are very very patient with me and enjoy the long process of gamedev with me.
That said, I usually spend a lot of time doing gamedev, pulling all nighters and filling every minute of free time into gamedev so I hope my mindset doesn't come off as lazy. I honestly didn't expect so many patrons and I've been feeling a bit guilty, so I wanted to make things clear. I also hope to not be crushed by the hype and expectations that were given to me.
Anyways, I'll be making games in peace and update on the progress as usual. Thanks for reading (ㆁωㆁ*)

Take your time fam, we're not patreoned because we want to play your game as quickly as possible, instead, we've patreoned to help you out with what we can, and get a few insights on how the game is going every now and then, but no stress. The last thing we would want is to rush you, that would be nothing but detrimental to your game, take your time and enjoy it :)
The person reading this is sexy and epic

I'm sorda the same way, this would just help inspire me to continue doing what I do best and I hope it helps you to! Just think of us as fans of your work and nothing more, a place to post your ideas and share your work for testing (as soon a you put out a reward for BETA testing I'm snatching that offer up XD). I hope we can be a helping hand in your future in game development! Thank you for messing around in game dev and making art!
