Brother Chris Eman never finished his project
It's difficult. During these years, I worked with almost no support, earning no more than $10 on Patreon, for the love of art.
I never managed to earn $100 per month, which was one of my goals.
I was always grateful to the small part of the community that at least showed me that they liked it, but they were always overshadowed by people who didn't like it and gave it negative or very negative ratings.
Now this IHII 0.5, because TESS demands a lot from me, an updated version is coming, I already talked about it on Patreon, we're going to have to start a new game, because in addition to what is being added, several things that were criticized are being changed.
I'll leave it as “prepared,” but the priority will be IHII; even if it gets negative reviews, and everyone leaves Patreon, and only one person downloads it on Itch, it's the one I feel most connected to and doesn't demand so much of me.
And then I'll see; I'll probably close the Patreon for a while, unless a “miracle” happens and I feel it's worth it.
In the end, my own desire is my own fuel.
