Changes in the Goals (and why) (Patreon)
Content
I don't know how many of you keep an eye on the Goals part of the page. In reality, I've been neglecting it a bit myself in the past few months and I feel I should explain why (and also why they were changed to higher numbers).
When I first started working on Tennis Ace, I was still fully financially dependent on my family. But, as the game started getting bigger, I began to step-up in the house and share the expenses and bills with them so I could help out around the place. Because of that, a good chunk of the Patreon money was also going to that. After all, since I gave up on college to work on the game full-time, I had to start relying on its income to support myself.
And now, on the 13th of November (in less than two weeks), I'm supposed to catch a plane and start living away from my family. I don't really want to go in-depth about the why as I don't like the idea of airing dirty laundry in public. I just want people to understand that I'm not increasing the goalposts arbitrarily out of greed or anything of the sorts. Since I'll be living alone and paying for stuff like rent, food and bills all by myself, I will now have to dedicate a larger chunk of the income to keeping myself... well, alive.
I hope you all can understand that and I hope to continue working on Tennis Ace as I've always done. Hope you guys will stick with me as I get settle in after this big change in my life. Thank you all for all the support so far. You guys have no idea how much it's meant for me from the start!
