While I agree that information about any given project you might be willing to support is good, the information I shared was meant as Patreon only.I don't understand why you think pessimistically about the news. There is nothing wrong with sharing news about the game. By sharing the news, you make it clear that the author is alive and the game is also alive and continues to develop, and then new updates for the game continue to be created. Having also shared the news, there are good chances that one of the fans will decide to support the game both morally and financially. ((And if there is no news about a particular game for a long time, how will the fans know if this or that game is alive and whether they should become a sponsor of this or that game.)) + The news shows and tells how this or that author treats the creation of his own game. (( For example: Some authors release updates 1-2 times a year or news about the game comes out 1-2 times a year also, all news about a particular game tells how the author treats his sponsors, whether the author listens to the opinion of his sponsors or the author is not particularly interested in what the sponsors say to him)) ((All news shows the author's attitude both to his game and attitude to sponsors. And if a fan sees that the author is communicating and doing something for his sponsors, then everything is fine and one of the fans may want to become a sponsor of this or that author!!! Or on the turnover, knowing that this or that author is not interested in the opinion of his sponsors, the fan will not waste his money!!!))++ And another main plus of the news. Fans and sponsors discuss and share their opinion about the game-about updates or about errors, if there are anyAll these discussions are also a huge plus for the authors, since the author will know what and how fans and sponsors think about this or that in the game. So such comments like ((Oh, maybe they weren't worth sharing the news)) It's not clear. When creating a game and writing new updates, it is always good to know someone else's opinion, especially ((Sponsors and fans))
Not knowing the opinion will not give anything.
And to share good news about a good game is good.
It's up to Mulan to decide how to run that Patreon, and I sorta broke that trust by sharing Patreon only pictures and information for future releases.
My thought process on this at the moment is that if Mulan want more people to support, then he should make a free update on the side of the payment only ones just for information on how progress is going.
If I want to support Mulan, then I will do that through patreon. If people are asking about updates to it, I will answer in a abridged version of what the news is about, rather than linking the whole thing. If they want to know more, then they are welcome to toss in support on the lowest tier there.
It's not my responsibility to create hype or share everything that I am paying for myself.
