I must say guys... I woke up this morning and I logged into my Patreon as usual to check on my notifications, see if anyone has commented on posts and so on... And I realized something.
I posted the first version of my game on August 15th in the morning if I remember correctly, and I then posted the update allowing everyone to change the names of the two main characters because it seemed that was something that needed fixing ASAP. It took me roughly 8 hours to figure out just how to do so without the game breaking and having to redo all my script. But I did it, and it felt great to please so many fans. The game itself has surpassed 60,000 views on this forum...
I created my patreon officially 5 days late, due to the review process. But even after launching late, you guys blew me away...
In 10 days we hit 100 dollars in support per month. This was my first and only goal. And to be honest, I didn't think i'd achieve it until 6 months down from my initial demo. But you guys killed it. Every one of you who has taken the time to view my game and play it are changing my life in such a positive way, because for once, something I've done has garnered praise and support.
I've never really been one to cry, because I've always grown up in a home where everyone around me has always broken me down until I couldn't be phased by such words and lack of support and motivation. I started working the day I could and have always had to support myself and until recent I never really did have much money for anything but necessities. Now i'm a server at a nice mexican restaurant and have your guys' support online.
The messages I've received have been nothing short of amazing, and I truly have cried multiple times reading them. You guys push me to learn, and to continue moving forward.
As of today, I'm promising to never give up on you guys, so long as you keep encouraging me to move forward. The updates will always show that I'm giving you my 100% effort every month. No simple dialogue changes after an entire month. Full scene renders are to be expected, and I will treat you guys the same way I treat the customers I serve. \
If I wouldn't eat the food I'm serving, I will never allow my customers to.
So if I'm not satisfied with my game, I won't let you experience that dissatisfaction either.
Thank you guys for everything, I look forward to the future. -The Typist
