Hey there! Got some news today that my biggest subscriber over on Patreon is going to have to back out as they're changing jobs. So how does this affect the game's progression?

...It probably won't too much, if any, thankfully!

Thanks to all of your support this has gotten me to the point of being able to proooobably be semi-self sustaining in the near future. It's going to be dicey for the next month or two as I try to roll out a proper website and finish the novel (which should've been done like a month ago... I never said I was good at time management), and hopefully the novel sales will help to keep things rolling with your help! Anyone who subscribes at the $10 level will automatically get the novel free of charge, just by default when it's ready so yay for that! The game's still being worked on as well, just not as fast while I try to juggle a bunch of other stuff all at once. Don't worry, play testing is still going, most of the tests have come out really well with minimal changes needed for the most part as well, so things are going good!

I also welcome a new subscriber to SubscribeStar today so we're starting to recoup the losses already!

SubscribeStar's a bit weird though because it requires 5 active subscribers before it actually lets you make a withdrawal, meaning there's enough buffer cash sitting there I haven't been able to use yet. Which is good, because I would've spent it immediately on more artwork had I access to it, so it's actually kind of handy that it's just sitting there as a backup now. Soooo to my subscribers, if you could do me one more favour and ask about if your friends want to help support Saorsa with even $1/monthly, three more people will bump it over the edge, I can get access to what you've paid in already, and that can cover the costs of the initial setting up of the Saorsa website and putting the book up for sale with some early advertising, and should keep everything rolling!

Anyway, big stuff on the way, and by Christmas I'm hoping to have the website out, novel done, and the next major version of the game finished. ...We just discussed how I am with time management though, so we'll see if that happens. Maybe all of it will be, maybe not, I dunno honestly, but that's the hope! So yeah, wanted to let people know what's up!

There's more artwork already commissioned that's on the way but not done yet as well, so there should be more pretty stuff to show off in the next little bit, just not sure how soon yet.

Thanks again for supporting Saorsa's development so far!
