A Big Thank you
Added 2022-10-04 12:22:45 +0000 UTCWell, it has happened again. Once more, the lofty Goal on the frontpage has been reached. So I guess I have to say a few words about it (prepare for incoming cheese)
Back in April 2020, The company I work at got into some really rough water, and so me and most of the other students there were sent home.
Suddenly faced with a lot of free time on my hands and the usual horny thoughs, I got back into modding and actually published something this time.
The reception was great, so I kept going. And now we´re here.
It has been an unreal experience so far. When I opened up this Patreon-account, I though it would at best be a means to finance 1-2 additional pizzas per month, but Instead, the unbelievable has happened and I´m now in a position where I can actually make a living out of this.
I really cannot express how grateful I´am to you. Not only did you enable me to do freely pursue what I enjoy, but you also gave me a community. This might seem trivial to many of you, but for super-introverts like me, the Discord server full of like-minded people is something extremely valuable. But your feedback directly here on this site is also more than welcome, be it a bug-report or some just something like: "great, thank you!"
So, enough cheese and back to the practical stuff. what does the reached Goal mean for us?
when I formulated it, I only really did so because Patreon urges its creators to do so. "Dream Big..." or so they say. I set something (relatively) high, convinced that I would never actually reach it. but here we are...
By now, I actually have scored a really nice job in a mid sized IT-company, which would be a mistake to just throw away. Turns out I enjoy tinkering with Linux servers almost as much as I do making gaming stuff.
Buuuuut, over the last 2 weeks I had some discussions with my supervisors and managed to arrange a reduction of my workload to a 12-hour week.
This leaves me with plenty more time to make more stuff for you, and still allows me to gain some more experience within the conventional industry.
I hope that's an acceptable compromise for you.
So, once more
Thank you.
For your support
For your patience
For making skyrim a better place
Looking forward to whats up ahead.

But on another note. Thank you for using your time and wonderful mind to make these wonderful mods.

2022-10-04 15:36:19 +0000 UTCWhen it comes to your livelyhood, I would suggest not making compromises. Patreon support (and other similar donation/subscription pages) can build up, yes. But it can as easily evaporate within a short amount of time. So relying on it exclusively for your livelyhood is, in my personal opinion, risky. Having a Plan B if the donations tank is always a good thing. So I am quite happy to hear you have another job in a "traditional" industry. That is a good thing and nothing you need to apologize about. But yes, I am also looking forward to what may be coming to Skyrim... ;-)
