Sorry. All I've really got time for this morning except for a couple of final points.
I'm really touched by the concept of trying to crowd source some additional funding or indeed the consideration of increasing your own contributions. Truly. But please don't.
I know that may sound counter-intuitive when all I do is bitch about my IT assets but I wouldn't want any further additional contributions from you other than what is already being given by the Patreon side of the house. Let's say I finish H5 around June 2020. Some of you have been with me from the start and, let's say and adjusting for refunds etc, at the $5 tier that would have been a contribution of $75. That is a lot of money. About the same as a AAA game on release day. Now, arguably H5 is more fun
(hell, it might even be better looking by the time I've finished!) but it's still a lot of cash and some of you, bless you, are on higher tiers than that. So...no. Thank you but no.
Many of you know my feelings about giving value for money. I simply have to be able to sit back at the end of this project and go "Yeah...they got their bang for their buck". It's important to me.
On the subject of the new graphics card and set up, thank you all for your input. Again, I'll settle down at some point and consider my options. The big decision is do I buy early and get some improvement in speed now, but - having spent the cash- then be stuck at that improved speed for some time, or do I wait and make a bigger leap. I'll think on.
