SaraJSHello. Here is a big dramatic Patreon post about The Future of my work:
The TL;DR: I want to make PokeyPoke. I want to make games. I still want to make useful stuff for other people, but I want to be a developer first again.
I am terrified nobody in my audience will want to really support this. PokeyPoke is a personal project and people support me cos I make stuff for *others*. But I've been doing that for ten years now and it makes me feel like my growth as a developer is stunted.
I will still do the stuff everyone is used to, but less often, better quality, and somewhat differently. If this doesn't work out, I will uh, get a Real Job finally I suppose! or Kickstart PokeyPoke, or find a publisher. Idk.
I just know I can't do The Same Thing I've been doing for ten years anymore. I wish I could. I envy those that can. But I cannot.
