Weekly Recap #85 (+about the Patreon situation) (Patreon)

I might have written about more stuff than I intended to, so here's the essential Patreon-related stuff:

I had big plans for the start of 2018 and a lot of it relied heavily on an overhaul of my Patreon. I wanted to give you exclusive access to a trove of WiP and unfinished games, and other exclusive projects. All of it resting on a donation/subscription hybrid type of deal such as Patreon provides.

But with Patreon's recent fuck-up, the platform seems much less favorable to supporters and thus to creators as well, than it used to be. That's why, like a lot of other creators, I am finding myself looking for an alternative platform or maybe an alternative plan. For me, the best alternative would be Itch.io if it allowed creators to set up subscription deals. But there's currently no way to tell whether or not that is going to happen.

And anyway, some of you have already stopped supporting me and I have no doubt more will follow if Patreon does not change its mind, which seems unlikely.

In any case, if you choose to quit Patreon, please subscribe to my Newsletter! I never actually used it but I will as soon as I have something to announce about this situation.

I hope to find something to rely on by the end of the month.

Thank you.

Have a nice week.
