Hello again! It's the first of the month, and that means it's credits update time!

For anyone who's new or doesn't know what these are:

Every month, I update the credits in the game to include Patreon supporters who paid $20 during any month of production. People who pay for more than one month will be credited as such [ the number of months is under everyone's name ]

If you paid $20 or more during any month of production, your name should appear on this long screenshot of the game's credits! You can also message me or comment on this post to have your name changed in the credits to whatever you want- you paid so it's up to you!

I have to do all of this by hand and brain so there could be mistakes! [ Patreon buggered up their search function for members and it can miss people as well ] Please check on the credits if you've ever paid $20 or more and make sure I have you on there properly.

 

Thank you so much everyone for your support! Not just the people on this list but everyone. It's been a bit of a tough week and my anxiety about censorship is very high. Looking through these credits reminds me that there are people who believe in the freedom to make dark content, and that hopefully I will be able to maintain a creative home no matter what happens.

It's cool to have watched this list grow! it's nice & comforting to see everyone in here that continues to support you and your work, too! 😇 You deserve it so much. I can't imagine how suffocating it probably feels to worry about censorship and dark content. And since I entered the scene after the og BTD release (maybe like 2ish years after?) I am perhaps biased and probably uninformed lol ... but I truly think you have been a pioneer for the genre! (I am also waving to darqx from all the way over here in thanks!!) but other than my rambling. Tldr; I think I'll always be here for the Hayao Miyazaki-ism of Gato's future projects!

I hope to be on that list someday when I’m able to! :) And I totally get your anxiety about censorship. Whenever I’m out of this circle I sometimes forget that this type of content isn’t respected or enjoyed by most people. I’ve seen Instagram “reviews” on books with similar content to your work and the comments are just a hive mind saying how terrible we are for making or enjoying this type of content and that it should be illegal instead of just ignoring it and moving on with their lives.

Keito Bun

hello! I was a supporter since Jul 2023, but it says 1month supporter, so Im not sure if Im just dumb or its a silly mistake. 😭

Gatobob

I looked into it and according to my records, you pledged $20 in August of last year- the numbers here only reflect the number of months that a patreon member was pledging $20 or more

Keito Bun

Ahhh okay, that makes sense, thank you for the reply. <3

I’ve been on the list for half a year now! 🥳🥳 I really love your work; it’s terrified and excited me in a way nothing else has, and your characters completely fascinate me. I’ve had a lot of fun playing the games alone, with friends, and making new friends through them too. Your games have inspired me to work on my own projects and overall have been a very positive thing in my life! I’m excited to continue being on the list for the rest of the YKMET: Strade and your future projects as well.

"It's been a bit of a tough week and my anxiety about censorship is very high." Sorry to hear that's been a concern for you, Gato. 🥺 You can only hope people will be able to regulate themselves after doing what you can to put up content warnings, instead of them projecting their emotions/wounds outwardly onto the wrong target (ie. you). Humans are funny critters, man. 🤷 I seriously admire you for taking your hard-earned gift for drawing & telling stories, and choosing to bravely share them with us even when knowing such content won't be palatable to everybody. While I've written my share of original NSFW/"Dead Dove" dark content, I honestly never posted it publicly anywhere so I give you serious props for being so vulnerable and unapologetically yourself even when it's hard on some days. 🫂 Just know the content and themes you touch upon have been around for millennia. Even if one platform/institution tries to pretend such facets (or "shadows") of the human experience doesn't exist, doesn't mean others will and they'll create their own channels for exploring, transmuting, or healing elsewhere. Hell, even in more heavily censored countries like China, people always find covert ways in the age of the Internet~ 😌✨ Let yourself feel however you want to feel, but just know you're not alone and countless people support you or understand the need to explore such themes (even when it's not content they enjoy/prefer themselves). Such fair and open-minded people still exist out there--in both the real world AND online, thankfully--despite some loud, dogmatic types you may find online. 💪

P.S: Perhaps let us know (via your other website?) if you ever need us to send (polite) correspondence to any platform that may be suspecting your content. 🤔 I would say that IF I were in your shoes, I would come up with Plan B's just in the worst scenario your Patreon was temporarily suspended for an unknown period of time. Try having emergency savings already set aside for sure, but also maybe a "regular" member-payment/sign up system via other channels: "These Are The 17 Best Alternatives to Patreon (2024)" - Mightynetworks.com https://www.mightynetworks.com/resources/patreon-alternatives#:~:text=Onlyfans%20is%20an%20alternative%20to,creator%20with%20a%20subscription%20model I like this article cause it cleanly tells you the pros/cons behind every alternative subscription service website, IMO. BUT, only take my idea as it resonates to your unique personal situation though! 😅
