Pausing billing and the future (Patreon)

I was hoping I wouldn't need to do this again but I'm going to need to pause billing for the forseeable future.

I had planned to assemble a patron-only build with missing or placeholder assets by Halloween but unfortunately that isn't going to happen. The editing process has taken longer than I expected and the coding process is barely started. I was going at a fair rate back in September but October has been tough and at this point I think I'm at risk of burning myself out. It's my fault of course, this is what happens when you procrastinate.

However, the other reason is that Nerton has being going through a rough time. I don't want to go into details because, frankly, it's not my place. But I don't want to pressure him to make assets or pester him at this time.

I know we've been here before, but it's just not fair for you to pay when I can't give you a deadline anymore. I pondered unpublishing the patreon which would freeze payments but wouldn't delete everything, but Patreon now charges a pretty shocking 10% flat fee on all earnings, something I've avoided because I started this one before the fee was introduced. Unpublishing and republishing would change that.

So for the forseeable future, I will be pausing billing. I won't be pausing posting, but I won't begin charging again until at the very least I actually have a build ready to provide to you. As deeply grateful as I am for your patience and contributions, the lack of something to show for it is really, really weighing on me.

This isn't a cancellation or even a hiatus (at least for me) and I will as always keep you informed.

Thanks as always for your support.

Edit: If anyone would like a refund for this month, please reach out and I'll look into it ASAP.
