RomaniaPretty sure he's in the US, but not 100% sure. Doesn't matter now, with the "tariff wars".
Oh, that's right, was thinking of another dev.Romania

I hope you're all doing well. I wanted to share some news that I received this past Saturday, which has had a big impact on my life and made me reconsider my priorities. After much thought, I’ve made the difficult decision to pause all activities related to RoyalCandy for the time being.
This wasn’t an easy choice for me, especially considering how much your support has meant in helping me live my dream of becoming a game developer and achieving financial stability. I’m incredibly grateful to you all for making that possible, and it’s tough to step away from something I’ve worked so hard on. But right now, this is the best decision I can make.
While I’ve always aimed to be open and honest with you, I can’t go into details about what’s going on personally. What I can do is pause all billings, so no one will be charged moving forward. It wouldn’t feel right to continue accepting payments without being able to deliver the work you expect, like some others might do in similar situations.
Thank you so much for the past seven years. It’s been an absolute pleasure being part of this community, and I’m deeply grateful for your support. I’m not sure when, or if, I’ll be back, but for now, I have to say goodbye.
Take care,
Jason

That above means what exactly it means, that the game is on PERMANT HOLD, and it MAY NOT come back.
So, yes, this might be the end of RoyalCandy (Jason), and No More Money, and any other games he had in the works
I wish you luck Jason, my dad had a heart attack 3 days ago, so I can relate to sometimes you have to step away, because life is more important.

WHY is it ON HOLD
Yeah trust me there are just a few jobs better payed than what he was earning on patreon and one of them is the president of Romania... soo i'm very sure this is not the reason why quit, he was making bank with this game for the country where he is...I can only assume that some new life circumstances require him to return to a higher paying job other than game development.
because no matter what, you can't quit your job( if game dev is his main job), because bills always have to be paid, unfortunately.
He wasn't doing 9k per month you can see his patreon its around 5k which is still very, very good for Romania...lets do some math......
1 USD = 4.82 Romanian Leu
+- $9,000.00 USD per month = $43,380 Romanian Leu
A family of four estimated monthly costs are $2,147.0 (10,308.50 lei) without rent.
A single person estimated monthly costs are $618.4 (2,969.20 lei) without rent.
Cost of living in Romania is, on average, 47.0% lower than in United States.
Rent in Romania is, on average, 76.0% lower than in United States.
this guy is buying a really nice house
go go royalcandy, start popping out those babies
his patreon dropped by $3,000.00 per month since yesterday + how many other platforms is he taking payments from ??He wasn't doing 9k per month you can see his patreon its around 5k which is still very, very good for Romania...
