// Long Rant Ahead //
I have self-reflected a lot for this past few days.
I had a lot of realization regarding my own passion about modding and my patreon content. I realized I lost the self that was the reason that I became a modder in the first place and realized that this self was consumed by greed for money.
Ever since I received my first monthly payment from this patreon account, I became greedy. I immediately planned on my mods locked behind paywall and was delighted to see it work. But to my old self, to the self that made me become a modder that I am right now, this was extremely unfair.
"I want to make mods that people can experience without waiting for months to be public."
That was the first statement that I uttered when I entered the modding world. I remembered being in awe with different mod creators having big audiences and being active in their own patreon accounts in general.
"I want people to support me for my own passion."
This was the second statement I remember so clearly after succesfully creating my own mod from my own assets.
To think that all of this, I easily forgot because of the momentary money gain I had, was sad and unfair to the old me.
Hence, this is why I am contemplating on whether I stay on this path, of scheduling the mods I create, or remake the way I release content, and remove some of the features I locked behind a paywall.
I will still retain the 'released 30 days early for members' feature for my supporters, as this is the sole reason they became my supporter. I will also retain the exclusive WiP and Poll features for them.
My modding journey was full of twists and turns, and I want you, my supporters and those who chose to be my audience, become part of it.
Modding is one of my passion, and is one of the reason I enjoy games. And I would like to share it to everyone.
// Option Description //
Option 1: I publish my mods whenever I actually make them, and give heads up if the upcoming months would be devoid of any mod content from me. I am in college, and there will be a long period of time where I will be focusing on my academic journey, hence having no mod content on specific succession of months. I hope you respect my decision about this.
Option 2: I retain my current way of content releasing, by scheduling the mods I make. I don't need to worry about having no mod content if I retain my current way.
// Additional Note //
I sincerely hope everyone understands why I am making this. This is a big realization of me and I really think I need to do self-reflection once in a while so that I won't lose the reason why I do this in the first place. If you have any concerns or reactions regarding this, please don't hesitate to comment it or message it to me. I am still struggling with the way I interact with all of you, but I sure will be responding to any messages as soon as I can.
Thank you for supporting me. Shout out to TeaMeDaddy for being one of my longest supporter. And shout out to my other patreons who decided to stay being a supporting member. Love you all, and see you next month, after this poll ends. <3

colorful cookie is right retaining a healthy work-life balance between your hobby and your studies is the key. dont force yourself creating content and do it whenever your in the mood and have time. in the end creating something with passion rather than making yourself anxious, by saying "i must do it now", results in much higher quality both in mods and your mind. so please relax and rest, we wont leave you cuz you havent much time for modding, just take one step after another and slowly make your way!!! <3

Easily option 1, passion is something you want to do, not something you have to do on a schedule manner. Because it soon have it deadline and that is when it will start to affect you. Beside your mod will become free at the end, if I, can wait for a month before, I could wait longer lol.
