Gathering Suggestions (Patreon)

Hello, $10 backers! It's been a while, sorry - busy times. -_- I've had some things planned to mention here, but haven't gotten around to it because I decided to prioritize the game when things came down to the wire, as I assumed that would be your preference.

The main reason I'm here is to ask you all for suggestions about things you want to see during the Gathering. I'd planned to have more events or NPCs that you only see on a specific day, but only finished so many. So I'd like your suggestions for things like this to add to future versions - an idea for an NPC, a conversation, etc. It can be an idea of your own, or just a request to fill out the world or answer a question in a specific way. Anything to make the Gathering feel more lively and diverse day to day.

Some guidelines:

 - I'm not intending to add quests, battles, or items. This is lore and flavor.

 - Probably not going to add sex scenes, but I suppose I could be convinced.

 - More from existent NPCs is fine, but I'm also looking for new encounters.

Later on, I intend to make a more general requests thread, but that will have to come after Simon's route. The double releases seem to have gone fine, but I'm not exactly ahead of schedule here.

I'm still vacillating on the question of going full time. The idea that Patreon could collapse overnight and wipe out most of my income is a scary one, and not something I'll enter into lightly. I don't want to be another creator begging for donations in six months, that doesn't benefit anyone.

For the time being, though, I have a comfortable interim period where I don't need to make any career decisions. In that time, I'll be devoting myself as fully as possible to making games and trying to make this work. So fingers crossed. >.<

More on this as it develops. Whatever happens, you guys will be the first to know.
