Thank you for your opinion. I've considered that before, but allowing public funding seems like allowing patrons to comment negatively when we are not in perfect state to me. We are not producing popular literary content, as you can see. The Ash Boat is written in poetry and poetic-novel language. It's hard to understand, and I fear it might seem controversial to open up public funding under such circumstances.
Ash Boat is essentially a free commons package, as it's published under a CC license. I know it's difficult and costly to produce a visual novel, so Ash Boat project is actually aimed at other producers, and those who want to be one. Anyone can use the artworks in Ash Boat's package under the license. I feel that this is a way to aid the entire furry community to the better.
