Here is the skinny!
🕑 Added 2019-04-23 11:19:51 +0000 UTCI would like to start this post with an apology. I try and set myself a goal for patreon and I failed this by not posting at the start of this month. I don't believe that I have any real excuse for this and I am very sorry.
I will do everything I can to be more transparent in the future.
Now we move onto legal stuff. As with things of this nature, I can't be as open as I want to at the moment. What I can say is that over the last few weeks things have started to move forward and a massive amount of stress and worry has finally been lifted from my shoulders. This might come off as sour, but I still cannot say how it will end for me as it would be silly of me to assume the future. What I can say is that I am finally able to sleep (something I have been doing a lot of). I still have things to take care of and that has taken up some of my attention.
Third matter is that I have to move out of my flat. Nothing bad, it's just that my place has a new landlord and it turns out that my place was the only one that met the minimal requirements for living standards. So the new landlord is fixing up all the other flats and I need to move out. But, the guy is very chill and as I have been up-to-date with my rent, he is letting me move into the flat above mine as it has now been fully done (yee). So I'm also in the process of moving things around and making one hell of a mess while I'm at it. Don't worry, the bunnies are fine and are having a lot of fun playing when I move things around (I should charge them rent).
Last is something that has been on my mind for some time. I have had quite a few people come and ask me why I have not set-up other tiers and goals on here. Well, for one thing, as far as I am aware people can set what ever payments they want when it comes to patreon (unless it has changes). I've still never liked the idea of asking/begging for dosh (even though I really need it). I want to improve and earn my income. If I was to add more payment options on here, it will only be because I am able to offer something in return for it. On my last account I was offering a request to someone random and depending of the tier you would get a different quality drawing. I felt really iffy about doing that.
What I have been thinking about is setting up a goal of some kind. I've had many ideas in my head that I've wanted to do, but time has always been a deciding factor. Two things I've wanted to do has been a Visual Novel and a game of some kind (something simple). If I was ever to do something like that, I would have to make a proof of concept/demo. Plan out as much as I can (having a completed road map would be best) and have a fair goal per month that I would have to stick to (within reason). I also have to remind myself that with the cost of living here and the conversion rate between USD to GBP, the monthly income goal has to work for me. A quick look at things tells me that in order to keep me covered without problems, I would need to get at least $120 a month from here. This is before I even think about a monetary goal for a big project. I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm coming off a ungrateful. I am so thankful to every that has helped me here and other places and the income I get from patreon has saved my bacon more then once (in fact, it's the only reason I am able to pay my rent right now). As I said, I won't come to you with a promise of something and not show anything, I would do this right.
Anywho, I've tooted on long enough. That talk of bacon has made me hungry.
I will leave you for now with a picture I have spent too much time laughing at.
