Hey guys.

As you have read my last post about the future of the Alpha Brotherhood, I'm frustrated about it. In fact, I have been frustrated for months in my personal and professional life, and due to many things, last Friday I ended my 6-year relationship. I wasn't feeling happy and now I realize that I lost myself as a person. I'm not sure what I like, what makes me happy. Anyway, I'm not feeling totally bad, I'm actually feeling a bit of relief, and I know in the next months I have a long way to reinvent myself.

The reason I'm telling you this is because I need to think properly about what I want for myself and for my company in 2024. Today I have 4 brands (including Patreon which is separated from Male Doll's team) and I need to define their priorities - that includes defining what kind of games I really want to do.

As much as Patreon brings me a large and incredible audience, financially it doesn't pay for a dedicated team yet and requires a lot of work on my part at a time when I need to focus on myself. So committing myself to a new project could frustrate you if, in the coming months, I decide to change the Patreon format or even leave it aside. In this scenario, considering you all came here for Alpha Brotherhood and my goal about Patreon's future needs to be defined by the end of this year, I'm thinking of making special events for Patreon supporters only until December - like the Orgasm Day (OD). I definitely can write something short (around 5k words) like we had in OD and you all can suggest themes that would help me not focus on the main story. What do you think about it?

PS: if the Patreon-exclusive events win, we'll start a poll next week to have our first event at the end of October.

I'm sadden to hear of the difficulties you have been experiencing. (This has not been a good year for me, so you have my deep sympathy.) You wrote: "Considering you all came here for 'Alpha Brotherhood'..."; well, actually, I did *not*. I came here because of "Wand Out" (which I purchased on Steam). As I said before, I consider "Alpha Brotherhood" to be rather cliché, but I really like "Wand Out" and some of the 2-D fantasy games you folks have made. So, for me, I wanted to support you and, honestly, I just was hoping whenever you were done with "Alpha Brotherhood", you might do another 3-D fantasy (maybe Dark Fantasy/Urban Fantasy) game. (Or even Science Fiction!) Regardless, you are obviously dealing with a lot of not-good-things, both professionally and personally. As I wrote before in your earlier poll, maybe you can get someone else in to finish up "Alpha Brotherhood" quickly, so you can just put it behind you. At this point, it seems the most emotionally healthy thing for you is to move on from this game ASAP. And if you do leave Patreon, it is understandable, though I suspect many of us will feel sad as it offers a great way for creators and fans to interact. But if you do, I will still look for future Male Doll games and, hopefully, will one day find a *NEW* 3-D Urban/Dark Fantasy game by MD that I can buy! Meanwhile, please, DO take care of yourself FIRST. **
