Consider This... (Patreon)

I'd like to gently bring something up.

I completely understand the temptation to subscribe when an update drops, grab the new version, and then cancel until the next one. Especially with how many games go months, or even almost a year, between updates.

I release updates just about every month, with fixes, improvements, and smaller patches in between. I'm working on this game around 120 hours a week, and I'm here every day talking to you guys, showing you what I'm working on, answering questions, listening to feedback, creating tutorials and trying to make each update worth supporting.

So if you play an update and decide, "Nah, this isn't worth my money anymore," then absolutely cancel. I absolutely mean that. I don't expect anyone to financially support something they aren't enjoying.

But if you're enjoying the game, you think I'm doing a good job, and you already know you're probably coming back next month for the next update... I'd ask you to consider just staying subscribed.

The reason is pretty simple: consistent support is what allows me to build this into something bigger.

I'm trying to grow Patreon enough that this can become my full-time living, and eventually give me the resources to do even more with the game. When a big chunk of people subscribe for an update and immediately cancel afterward, it makes that growth incredibly difficult to predict, even when the game itself is growing. It also sort of gives me anxiety watching all the cancellations.

I'm not asking anyone to support me out of guilt. I'm asking because if you genuinely believe in what I'm building, staying subscribed is one of the biggest ways you can help me keep building it.

And in return, I'll keep doing my part.

I'll keep working my ass off. I'll keep communicating with you. I'll keep releasing regularly. I'll keep listening when something sucks and fixing it. And I'll never disappear for six months and come back acting like you're a nuisance for asking where the update is.

You're supporting the development of the game. I think that means you deserve to actually be treated like you're part of it.

Anyway, just something I wanted to put out there.

And seriously, to those of you who have stayed subscribed month after month: thank you. That stability means more to the future of this game than you probably realize.And side note, my PC is on it's way out. It completely crashes on me at least twice a day now. So I'm starting to save for a replacement and the bigger I can grow this Patreon, not only the faster can I replace it, but the better parts I can get, leading to faster renders. :)Thanks guys.
