Billing Paused, but Still Development Continues as usual
Short Answer: As you may have noticed I've turned the page on to Vacation mode this should mean you are not being billed, anymore but despite being called "Vacation Mode" I am still working on the game same as always I just don't feel comfortable taking anyone's money for a while.
Long Answer: I originally created my SubscribeStar page mostly as a free blog where I could host my games and share development as I make them, the idea of donations was secondary. Then I released First Date and the support was way more than I could have expected, and I am forever grateful for the support, however I always feel I am letting you guys down not offering nearly enough in return, and as the end of each month draws near my nerves over this give me really bothersome stomach aches. So it makes it right, I've paused the payments If I understand the feature it should allow the tiers to still access anything I post, but you won't be charged. I am still going to be working on the game in all of my spare time, nothing is changing on that side.
But I am spending very little time in Daz modelling and rendering as that's mostly done for Chapter 1 and instead working on getting everything into Ren'py, so my rate of Random Lewd posts might be slower.
Attached Pic unrelated, just wanted to give something cute too.
I understand using SS's vacation mode when running into longer-than-expected delays in future releases. I'm doing the same, though I have yet to make my initial release, I have a few people subscribing to my account and I felt awful taking their money but not making that opening release.
I understand IRL being a bitch at times. Hell, my life is pretty much a living firey pit from time to time. So, take care of your IRL responsibilities and leave working on the game when you have the time.
Unless you abandon the game, you can make your releases when you can. No one can blame you for taking longer than those whiney little trolls on F95 and lewdcorner bitch about. 😎
Thank you for understanding and your kind words of encouragement. Funny story I actually only discovered the vacation mode feature when I was looking at your page a while back.
I know telling you not to worry about it probably isn't helpful, but, I fully understand things sometimes take longer than expected. To echo Rycharde's Realm, take care of yourself. I would much rather wait, than have you get super stressed out over something that should be (mostly) fun.
Thank you! I appreciate the support, I'm glad everyone is so understanding. I think I'm just a bit of a natural worrier, I sort of can't help but work myself up, but I think pausing the billing will allow me to keep the fun in the project (not that I had lost it)
