Update (Patreon)
Content
Hey all,
Patreon's done some major reworking of their banking, which is causing problems for a lot of people's pledges. If you're one of those having trouble, please take a look here for some common solutions:

"Quick tl;dr: You’re possibly having issues due to your bank marking Patreon as a fraudulent charge, or you’re using a gift/pre-paid card, or you’re using American Express cards directly instead of through PayPal or something else similar."
And of course, sorry for the trouble. Presumably they have their reasons for this (sounds like it's due to pressure from the banks?) Unfortunate, very little us creators can do about it, except ride it out.

On the games side of things, I've finished setting up all of the menus for Rainy Skies, and am now in the middle of doing the battle system (which is the last big hurdle before I can start building game content.) At this point, I'm just gonna go full speed with this, and do my best to get a demo out to you guys this month. I'll save the next Lust Doll release for later (barely done much with it anyways, as I'm putting all my focus into getting RS's new engine done ASAP.)
Once it's out, I'll get back onto forums and what not and start doing proper marketing and outside support again. I've been completely neglecting that side of things for a while now, which is very bad. But all the same, I didn't want to be advertising when my most recent two project startups have failed to get anywhere.
Will also start investing money back into this, for things like commissioning artists and writers, marketing campaigns, etc. By now, I have enough savings that I can afford to start trying to find outside help and make this grow. I'll keep you guys updated on my efforts.
