Friday Update - September 30, 2022

Hello, Patrons and public alike!

I am making this post public in order to talk to you all about the poll results that you see above. These are the results for the poll asking if you'd like to see Subscription Billing turned on (so it bills you on the date you first subscribed every month) or keep it as is.

I ran two polls; one for the patrons and one for non-patrons. A couple patrons voted in the non-patron poll and I wanted to make fun of them here but you can see that I accidentally voted in the patron poll.

Anyways, the results! My assessment is that the patrons don't really care either way, which makes sense considering this change doesn't actually affect them.

Non-Patrons (people who will hopefully one day become patrons) are generally for implementing the change, though it's not a runaway. Looks like it's not a huge deal to any of you guys, in general.

My thinking, therefore, is that I will likely go ahead and move to Subscription Billing. I think it's likely more fair for you guys and if you are a current patron it allows you the flexibility of cancelling your subscription and re-subscribing in order to move your payment date, if that is your wish.

However, because this is a permanent change and there's no going back, I probably won't make the move for another couple weeks. I know some developers have already made the change and I'm going to let them be the guinea pigs. I can't imagine what kind of problems would possibly come up, but lord knows that payment processing, especially for items of an adult nature such as Unleashed, is a sketchy business. So I'm going to give it a couple weeks to be safe and if I hear of any problems I might keep things the way they are until the problems are ironed out.

Phew.

Oh yeah I've also been working on Unleashed this week! Things are coming along a little slower than I'd like but they're still coming along and I promised it would come out in October and nothing's gonna keep me from doing that.

I'm very happy with how this update is turning out and I'm really looking forward to confusing you guys with the surprises I have in store for you! :)

Until next time, have a wonderful week! And thank you all for your support!
