Just out of curiosity, do you have any particular reason why you won’t make a patreon?
Fair enough. But if you feel like you built a solid enough fanbase (even if it’s small), you should consider it. It’s also a good motivator for you to keep working on your projects. You should also make a discord server as soon as possible, it’s worth it to have an official space to discuss you work early on, and its pretty easy to do. Best of luck to you, I’m looking forward to more updates to the game (I 100% completed it but still do runs every once in a while).
