A boost in awareness

Hey folks,

High time for an update. In the background, I'm working hard:

• I've changed DarkEdif SDK things so someone can build for Windows and Android, I've set up a property system that's smart enough to recognise when a user reorders properties, fill in defaults of new properties, etc, even when a user opens a MFA saved with an older version of your extension.
• I've done plenty of Bluewing fixes and an overhaul to the thread-safety system that Bluewing system uses, cutting down the crashes to barely existent. That's in pre-release, but I'll likely release it soon.
• I've optimised the repository of open-source extensions, and made all the projects inherit from one shared property file.  That's all here if you're interested.

Now to business... my first goal was Lacewing Unicode. I fully expected the first goal to be met by the end of 2019 at the latest, but it's not even met now, a full year later.
I really love to make free things and give to the community, but so far it's been regrettably bad with giving back... and I don't think that's a fault of the Clickteam community, which has always been close-knit and friendly, but more a fault of awareness.
I'm a very reserved individual, and I don't like broadcasting things I'm doing before they're done and polished, but it's kind of backwards to what a Patreon should be. I'm not getting the outreach I need, because no one knows who I am or why they should care.

I should be writing more on this Patreon, because you folks help me provide more for the community. So here's to it; I'm gonna try to keep you guys more in the loop on what I'm doing. You guys are getting me hours on the community work after all!

I'll post more on these at a later date, max a month from now :D

My current non-community project is porting LZMA2 compression to HTML5; it's fully funded by a client, but only part-time work.

I hope more folk give this Patreon train more momentum, but thanks to all for being a sponsor so far!

Cheers,
~Phi
