We are at $37 USD. It's just been a month. Thank you so much! I want to inform you or say something about our spending, but please do understand one thing... I paid out of pocket because I love this and believe in this project, but this patreon is showing it might shoulder the financial burdens by a lot. I'm so thankful for it, and excuse what seems like mad spending. I have my reasons for all of it.
I spent $203+ for all arts, +$20 on gpt plus, +$20 on chat.nbox.ai, +$10 on copilot for coding, and $153 on vast.ai, where I rent an RTX 4090 for $10 something a day. I have an assistant who helps me in general. I pay $600 USD a month. He isn't full-time on this, but he helps with stuff here and there. He will join the project to help with scripting and work alongside me. He is anonymous for the time being.
totals $803 USD spent. All of it is my money.
About my assistant, I contracted him for other things; he manages my schedules, does the occasional Photoshop, is shocked the project is getting traction, I have other responsibilities, he is not part of the project; he helps me with a lot; he is a solid guy. but we might look at a different person if the number climbs any higher for the time he will aid, as it seems.
I want to show nothing of this is for free and where your money would go, we received $37 usd this month its literally going to this right here, i work 16-18 hours a day and slotting this in is such a joy so don't worry you are covering something i want to do.


the 37 usd we're receiving is first directed at the server cost, and my assistant is fully human my goal is to eventually cover his salary and afford a gpu so we stop renting. Your money is literally being used to speed up the development i have more freedom allocating more time to this.
