Hello everyone, apologises in advance for the text wall that this post will no doubt turn into. Some of you may have noticed that for the first time ever, I missed a weekly update last week. There's no easy way to say this but... I've decided to remove the paid tier from this Patreon, development updates will now be free to everyone. This has been a difficult decision made for a number of reasons.
1. Daz studio. Around 2 weeks ago I was forced into updating Daz. This has broken it rather spectacularly, making it far harder for me to render. I am in contact with customer support but we don't seem to be any closer to fixing my issue.
2. Family and life issues. A member of my very close family has been in hospital for nearly four weeks now, I've been told today that he won't recover. Frequent hospital visits alongside a recent promotion in my full time job have reduced the amount of hours I have free to spend on development.
The sum of that is there is no way I'll be able to meet my Christmas deadline for delivering the final update to the novel. So as I expect to overrun by a few months, I don't think it's fair that anyone should be paying for that extra time. This is why I have decided to remove the paid subscription.
I remain committed to finishing the game, and making updates free is the best way to remove the pressure of having to finish it in the face of the issues mentioned above.
So on Thursday (28th), at a similar time to this post I will be removing the paid tier. Please if you haven't already download the latest version of the game. My plan is to remove access to the game until the final update, and then release it for free to everyone. Photo updates may be less regular than before but will still be here on Patreon and they'll be free to view.
Hopefully you all understand my reasons for doing this, I think this is best for me and for everyone who's supported this project. To you kind supporters I would like to give my heartfelt thanks, this project would never have been possible without the great people on here.
If anyone has any questions or thoughts I'll answer them in the comments below.
This is not the end, I just need time.
