Not with the level of quality that we've achieved now. Remember how shit the background art used to be? Or how boring the soundtrack was? Or how Alicia had terrible anatomy originally? All of that was improved because I was able to hire people to cover my weaknesses, letting me focus on the things I really love and excel at. Not everybody is interested in or capable of being a one-man-army.

Not to sound like an ass,but you started this solo,i'm sure you could finish it that way.

Yeah, I'll be fine. I didn't mean for the focus of this post to be on the drop in pledges, I just brought that up to explain why I'll be focusing on the early areas of the game for a bit, so I can put out a new, more polished public demo and hopefully give people a better idea of what they'd be pledging for.

This post wasn't so I could whine about losing money. I am fully aware of why it's happening and that it is 110% my fault, no matter why my work has been slow. The only reason I brought it up was to explain why I'm going to be focusing on the stuff early in the game for a while. As for your suggestion on tiers; the $5 tier is identical to the $10 tier aside from the price. If I just removed the limit from the $5 tier and did nothing else then I'd lose even more because none of the $10 patrons would have a reason to keep pledging that much. I've already talked about my plans for changing pledge tiers in the past, and I still plan to modify them soon. However, my first priority is to the game and getting it back on track.

Just a thought... If you didnt limit your $5 tier youd have a lot more subs... Theres probably plenty of people (like me) that think "Man, I wanna support this game... But I jsut spent $60 over 6 months and got literally nothing for it because this guy doesnt actually do work." I unsubbed from you for quite a while, only came back cause I wanted to see what was new... And the answer was fucking nothing. If you had a $5 option I probably never would have unsubbed and youd be up $30 instead of out $60.

Well I can personally say I'm happy with the overall game I can also understand why some people pulled their support with how slow it has been. I also know there's been more then one dev on Patreon that has sort of just fallen away from their project due to real life issues or even just lack of interest so people might have just been scared that's what was happening. I'm sure once you guys show that you're back in regular swing of things a fair few will happily return. Hope you're still making enough to make it a little while at least.

I still do most of the work for Crisis Point. The only things I don't do are the things I'm not good at - such as art, music, and sound effects. The only reason the artwork in Crisis Point has improved so much is because of the other people working with me.

I think solo working would be more productive in this case.
