I can take criticism. You can call me slow as fuck and I’ll be okay with that. I agree I’m very meticulous… and put way more effort into the script and the buildup than is probably needed, but that’s the way my brain operates. I will, however, get defensive when people claim this is a milking operation, because it’s factually wrong. If you don’t want to believe me that’s on you for being stubborn and lazy. All you need to do is the math to realize after I pay taxes on 100% of the receipts and pay the artist, I’m not Scrooge McDuck here swimming in money. And people want to call patrons morons for feeding the beast, but the alternative is no money coming in… how is that going to make the process any better or faster? Still waiting for an answer on that.
As for the lack of sex/nudity stuff, I can take criticism for that. The story won’t always be like that, so it doesn’t bother me at all. I’ve said before, the way I’m crafting this is like a Hallmark movie that turns down a dark path. You have to establish the Hallmark element of it first in order to make the dark turn unique. Whether or not it ultimately falls flat I can’t say, but my intent is to make it an extremely enjoyable experience for those who have invested all the time. That’s not a milking strategy. That’s always been the plan. But guess what? We are at the point where shit starts to get real, so relax.
