The Most Important Poll Ever! (Patreon)
Content
I've been a creator since late March of This year 2017, but I've been a patreon for a least a year before that. I came onto Patreon because I was on the LOK forums and I stumbled across some games I liked (Breeding Season, SIMBRO, Resident Evil:Progeny, Mitsuko X: Space Escape etc etc) some of these have since died but I was a little impatient and wanted the latest versions so for those who were active I wanted to donate, i came onto this website very paranoid about putting my financial details in, but the lure of SIMBRO is very strong and with much trepidation I pledged my first pledge! £1 to SIMBRO!!!
I did that for about a year up until March this year when I stumbled across software that had an easy to use GUI, not like Blender or Zbrush or even the dreaded Daz3d studio, I at first used this for myself but after a little thought decided to make videos using it, they came out with low resolution and no sound so I learned video editing software and downloaded audacity and learned them both and came up with my first video:

Then in the April of this year It was voted to create SIMBRO: ORIGINS, which you guys will be getting on 5th May.
Now as you guys know 2 days ago I found a Visual Novel software that used a Python based derivative code system and if you haven't already download the post below this to have a look at a SERIOUS attempt at using it. The software allows for images like any novel but also....Video.
So here is my dilemma, from a patreon standpoint, Games are the top contender, you only have to look at SIMBRO, DerelictWulf, Kravengar Games, Cloud Meadow, Breading Season (now dead) or even Random Crow and many more to see the amount of people who flock to them, I assume because of the fact you can 'interact' and choose the path you take, rather than simply watching a low resolution video.
Now I'm grateful to all you guys, even the ones that have left like Amy Jones and John Do, even our new pledges, but Video can be so much more. So my dilemma for which as my Investors i would like your input on and as potential lurkers who could become my supporters is this:
Should I after SIMBRO: Origins, concentrate on learning and making a game using the new software, or stick to videos only. Remember of course that i can put the videos into the new software so I'll still be doing videos anyway.
It will require me to revamp my patreon page but pledges should be unaffected I only need to re-write the text.
Now for a guy who a year ago knew nothing about creating to have hungrily devoured knowledge of several software just to put something out there that people can enjoy, and sorry if that sounds like I'm 'tooting my own horn' to go to learning video, video editing, sound editing and the basics of Python derivative code is amazing. But it wouldn't be worth it without people like you, people who still think art in these days is useful and beautiful, and in less flowery language it wouldn't be possible without all the guys who want something to Fap to, whatever your motivation. I'm grateful for all you guys, now together, shall WE move forward?
