Happy 2nd anniversary (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

I've been so caught up in finishing v0.27 that I completely missed that on the 26th of this month this Patreon page turned 2 years old! It's amazing how time flies...

In reality, it all started a bit before that. Around the beginning of April, 2 years ago, I finally decided to learn how to use Ren'py to create my own game. I spent that month working, drawing and writing and on the 26th I finally set up this page. I was quite excited and those humble beginnings were really fun. 

Every day was a learning experience and I had no idea how to streamline the process, but seeing the first results of my project, a working computer game, was incredibly thrilling and motivating. But what really made those beginnings so enjoyable was your growing support and appreciation of my work.

It grew so much faster than I had anticipated. What started as an experiment ended up becoming my full time job and the first opportunity ever for me to make a living out of my creative skills, the only skills I really have. Life has changed so much since then, from facing a barren horizon, struggling to make a few bucks with menial and less than fulfilling jobs, to being able to afford a life and a future thanks to my own talents. And that is an opportunity that I owe every one of you who has supported me at one time or another, or even through the entirety of these 2 crazy years.

That's why I try to pour my soul in each update,  refusing to cutting corners and trying to write the most compelling and complex interactive fiction I'm capable of. It means a lot to me not only your support, but your encouraging comments, knowing you really enjoy what I'm creating. 

I would've liked to offer something special for this 2 years anniversary, but I was so caught up I even missed it... Right now I'm feeling quite exhausted after finishing the alpha for v0.27 (the beta will be up as soon as the proofreading is done) and I have already started production on v0.28. Each update is more demanding and exhausting that the one before, and I still have to face the true test: the endings. That will be a task I'm very excited and afraid to take on at the same time. But even though I can't spare too much energy, I would like to know your suggestions on what would you like to see or get to commemorate this 2 years of uninterrupted work (I will need a long vacation after this is over).
