LOKP - The New Adventure - Act-2 (v0.07) Progress Report 3
🕑 Added 2021-08-27 11:07:43 +0000 UTCHi,
work on the text is moving slowly, but I have already managed to write about 30-35% of the dialogues from their total volume, however, I can already see that by the 30th of August I definitely will not finish my work on updating the game 007.
Should I upload a version of the game with unfinished dialogues, in case the work is delayed for more than a week, or should I just continue my work, and then upload the completed version of the game?
I ask about this because I see that migration has started from my patreon page (about 7 people have left for this month), and maybe someone simply does not have enough patience or they simply do not want to enter my position (because of my health) , and in this way express their dissatisfaction. I do not know. But I would like to remind that from 1 dollar tier, after all commissions and transfers - I barely get just over half of this amount.
And it's not just about money (even now, video projects still bring me more income than work on a game (and they are much easier to manufacture), and I can prove this easly by showing statistic of income from my video works, which bring me each 40-100 dollars in total, and the income from Patreon itself, even when I did not work on the game at all, averaged $ 150-200 per month), even in spite of all the problems that happen to me this month - I already spend more than 30 hours in total on a game project (not to mention the fact that I'm sitting with a temperature and still find the opportunity to slowly, but still write dialogues), and I would like more respect to my work.
Thank You for Your attention

Thank you, and maybe you're right. Just a bit to much crap falls on me for this month, so I became a bit drama maker, what is not typical for me for a long time. I’m just offended that I let the audience down, and although I have a more than good reason, I still don’t like it. Although I understand that if things with my health continue to deteriorate, I will have to say STOP, and cancel my patreon channel (or else give up difficult work here, in particular, cancel work on the game or freeze it), but until I hope it doesn't come to that.

I certainly don't mind waiting, because the content you put out has been very good. It may be that some people are leaving due to financial difficulties, as the pandemic has caused problems in some countries. I wouldn't take it personally, though I'm sure it is frustrating. I hope you start to feel better, health issues can be difficult to work through. I do hope more people find the game. What may help is posting short clips or single renders on some Rule34 sites. Most of them let you link to the source, and it may help some people find the game.

Thank You for understanding and sweet words. I also tend to believe that I need to upload the finished version of the game project, just the combination of certain facts made me a *little* more emotional than I'm usually am, that's also one of the reasons why I created this post.
I greatly appreciate the fact that you are communicating what is going on. Things don't always work out on schedule, the real world happens. I like the idea of finished dialog before releasing the next update, if it takes longer to receive a quality product, I am definitely willing to wait. Again, your health should come before anything else. Thank you, thinking good thoughts your way.
