I am going to be honest: I have been dealing with a lot of stress and depression over Patreon lately, which has only added to turmoil already caused by other issues. Not only is my PayPal account due to become restricted in 3 weeks unless the staff verifies my information, which doesn't happen because they mysteriously disappear into a black hole whenever they try to look at it; I have in a matter of weeks lost $150, and am now down to less than $300 per month. Yes... I'm literally at 3 quarters of what I released the first version of Vore Tournament for.

I've spoken to or know most of the people who lowered their pledges, and wish to clarify that this isn't anyone's fault! Several patrons ran into monetary issues and simply couldn't offer me as much as they did in the past. As someone who's in that situation, I perfectly understand this and suggested they make sure to take care of themselves first. Of course it offers me little comfort; Not only will I have what's probably the poorest Christmas so far, but I'm basically fucked as far as paying bills and mounting debts goes.

This post is mostly me thinking out loud on the situation and what I am to do next; I'm obviously not giving up on Patreon, but at this moment I'm far less motivated to work on a lot of projects... progress will therefore still happen but likely more slowly. I'm planning on revamping my Patreon page as well at some point, possibly adding new goals for extra rewards... I'll see what I come up with in this regard.

Your feedback here can be useful: If there's anything you don't like or believe I could do better, or if you have any suggestions for my page... let me know what you'd like to see done differently!

For the time being I'm in the process of posting previews for an ambitious rendered series I've been working on. Several sneak peaks are already available, with the reveal continuing up into December! If you're looking for an immediate reason to get involved, please take a look at my announcements which offer a brief description:
