Dev Diary, April 1st, 2022 (Patreon)

A bit different update than normal today (and no, none of it is April fools jokes). :)

This week I've taken my first small steps toward becoming a full-time developer. I've set up a real stock company, so when the time comes for me to quit my normal job, the transition should be as smooth as possible. 

Just to be clear, I haven't quit my normal job yet, but since I started this, I hoped that by the time I started my second game I would be able to, and I'm glad to say that it seems I'm en route for that as it is now.

Unfortunately, the drawback has been that transferring the economic part from me as a person to this new company took a lot more time than I would have wanted to, and I've spent several evenings in meetings with those doing my accounting to set it all up correctly. It doesn't help that it's tax season in my country (and probably many others) right now, and it's all eaten into my LoF time.

I've also received all the parts for my monster render rig, and right now everything is being transferred to it. That's also the reason I don't have any render numbers this week, as my normal computer is shut down for the moment.

So sorry for the lack of information/numbers right now, and the slightly later than normal update, but I'll be back to normal next week, I promise.

Oh, and the girl above you should all know well by now. She's the one I'm working with at the moment and she needs a good ending too.

Everyone who ordered a figurine should have gotten a message from me, and it's now too late to reserve one. I will order them all in one go as I receive your payments from Stripe. I've seen some comments on it being too expensive, and unfortunately, I couldn't go any lower. The way it's right now, I'm losing $2 for every figurine ordered, but since everyone who ordered are my patreons I figure I get it back by you just being here. :)

Cheers everyone, have a nice weekend and stay safe out there.
