Over 100 Patreons and other news!

The original plan was to celebrate my first 50 subscribers but then that level was blown past and it's time to celebrate a whopping 108 (at the time I write this) supporters! Thank you all so very much!

I have also awarded 1,279 🧩! That's an eff ton of personalized commissions when I get an editor back together!

So how does this line up with expectations? 

• Sheer amount of patrons is higher than I expected, I was thinking I would have around half as much at this point. 
• Income per user is smaller than expected but that is mostly because of higher Patreon fees than expected. (Around 20% once you consider currency exchanges!)
• If everyone cashed in their 🧩 I don't know if I'd be able to keep up with the demand! Keep earning those triple May 🧩!
• Less comments than expected but I'm sure that will grow organically with time.
• More "traffic" than expected.
• It all makes me want to get back to creating because I can see a potential future in this and I'm glad to have so many appreciate the work!

Milovana News:

The short of it is that it is still completely down. I don't have a true way to edit or add content to any of my creations without it. Adding to that we found out that the Milovana domain itself is up for renewal this week with no knowledge if it is paid for. This has an unknown % chance of being the end of Milovana completely.

Now I don't think the sky is falling yet but the sky is definitely concerning. I have put tons of time this week into trying to help as many creators as possible get their content in a downloadable form to prepare for the worst. Much of these actions were flagged by someone as a virus which made it frustrating to everyone involved and greatly shrank our reach. I don't believe it was done maliciously, just out of a high degree of concern.

IF there is the unlikely event that Milovana does not return I would have to wait for a true offline editor to appear to continue TOTS and Keystroke. I could port them to renpy but considering how massive of an undertaking that would be, I would likely have to make a third standalone project. I am not personally interested in putting them in a html type game.

IF Milovana returns - I have a lot of content I owe you fantastic fans! I will keep you all up to date with all the big changes.

This is all a massive shakeup for all of us and I am trying to pivot the best I can. I will press on until I simply can't.
