Important announcement!!
🕑 Added 2020-03-10 00:01:01 +0000 UTC--- PLEASE READ CAREFULLY !! ---
As some of you know, I have been very stressed with the Visual Novel topic. Last year, I didn't have a job, so I used to work on the visual novel 24/7, thank God, now I have a job (as a NSFW video game artist in case you didn't know) and the payment is good (or at least it's enough to be able to pay my debts at last, but not to live comfortably yet). Unfortunately, this consumes all my time, I literally finish working at midnight; Even so, I always try to spend at least a few minutes developing the Visual Novel every day until I fall asleep.
Unfortunately, I don't see the progress that I would like to have at all. Work a few minutes every day does not compare to working full time every day and this frustrates me a lot and stresses me even more, because you are PAYING for this content, and last month I could barely upload an animation to my Patreon. This is fucking unfair to you, my friends and Patreons. I mean, you are PAYING for content that is very, very slow. I was about to quit my job to continue developing my visual novel since the issue of not being able to fulfill what I promised to my fans did not let me sleep... literally!
One day I told my boss about my problem and he offered me a solution ... Professionally develop "Wet Nightmares" with professional programmers and Ui developers. They would handle all the marketing and distribution. "Wet Nightmares" would even be on Steam!
The only condition would be... that I will no longer be able to distribute my Visual Novel in my Patreon. This will be in their Patreon, but they will pay me for being the general manager of my own game! They even told me that I will have absolute control of everything in the story and they don't want to change anything about it. Their job would only be to distribute the novel and advertise it. So nothing about the content of the novel is going to change unless I want to.
Samara (my OC) will remain totally mine, and I'll continue uploading photos and animations of her to my Patreon. Only the novel would not be available in my Patreon.
And, as everybody I need money to live, but, believe me, I'm not a greedy person who needs so much money. My only purpose is to tell a great story with the best animations and illustrations that I have to offer, so if they try to change something in the story or ask me to modify something that I would not want to change, I will reject the offer completely and "Wet Nightmares "will still be in my Patreon. Sadly I'm thinking seriously about this, because Patreon is not giving me enough money to live so far.
My question is; What you think? I mean, I want you to have the last decision because it is for you that I am here. I was thinking of giving a free download coupon for those who are already on the "Spectrophilic" level or higher if they wish, for the official release day on Steam.
But I really want to know what you think? Believe me; Your opinion is very important to me. If you want another question about this topic, please, feel free to ask in the comments below.

Te agradezco mucho tus palabras hermano. Y si. Asi lo haré.
Hazlo, tienes todo mi apoyo bro. Todo lo que pueda mejorar el proyecto y tu vida personal debe ser considerado. Yo como tu fan realmente no me importa en que medio salga tu novela visual, con solo ver que la terminaste y ver tu hermosa animación estoy conforme. Lo compraría con todo el gusto del mundo, Sin embargo considera los términos de tu contrato y que no te afecten directamente.

Claro amigo derecho voy a firmar contrato donde todo esté estipulado. Y si hay algo que no me guste... adiós.
Me parece bien que te den esa oferta pero, tienes que verlo mejor con tu jefe para evitar malentendidos y que te vayan a robar el proyecto, platicarlo mas a profundidad con el para establezcan sus términos y condiciones mas específicos para que hace ganen los dos!

Try it! If everything works out well it`s the best for you and Wet Nightmares :)
I think you should do whats best not just for the project but for you. Im not at the tier that will give me the fownlad coupon but thats ok. Whatever you decide to do we support you.
Oscar Sessions
I don’t mind. You shouldn’t worry about us. You could do the project and then come back. Although like someone said it sounds too good to be true. Just be careful. Read all contracts entirely. Or maybe they just believe in you? Like we do? I’m a programmer if you want to run it by someone who knows. In games kinda.

I'll echo the others and warn you not to sign away your intellectual property, but as long as I don't have to pledge $20/month for content I don't care about I don't really mind you moving the project to another page.
I can only speak for myself and I'm here for the VN, higher than "Spectrophilic" level, because your work is simply something unique and I'm enjoying the story so far - if you assume, this would be a step in the right direction, then you have my trust.
Bazile Nicolas
as I already expressed, as long as you're sure that you won't get stripped of your rights on the characters and other things, I'm okay with whatever decision that would help your stress.

Maybe i'm not your best patreon, but i came here just cause i liked your art, nothing else, not "special rewards" (but i wanna play you Vn xD) and deffinetly not to make you stresed, just take that fckin dolar and clean your nose with it if you want xD
Alex Rodd
Well, first think if this is what you want to do, it is your project, and your work, after all. Be sure to think if this is what you want. I for one, would be OK with whatever decision you take, either getting it through patreon, or getting it by steam, I will support you .

I also prefer it as is but don't want to stop you from following this as a dream but it seems quite fishy.
Violet Isakawaii
I would be very careful. This sounds kinda fishy like a scam. I have seen lots of similar people get tricked like this. I would try to avoid doing this unless you really need to.
