Bad news about Patreon
Hi,
Unfortunately, yesterday Patreon put a very strict block on all IP addresses related to Russia, and almost no VPN was able to open Patreon for me except for one very ancient one, and I, frankly speaking, don't know how I can continue to use this service, because I can lose access to it at any moment.
Since I can no longer trust Patreon and save money there in the hope of a time when all this political and military madness will end, and since I simply won’t be able to access it at any moment, I had to literally withdraw money from it into nowhere, and I’m not even 100% sure that I’ll get it back in the end.
In view of this, I've stopped collecting donations on Patreon until better times, and I'd like to do the same on Boosty, but unfortunately I haven't found that option there. However, if you expect to get the most out of your donation, please switch to free users, as I don't yet know whether I'll continue working on the game or not. However, I will try to finish version 0.1, and then I'll need some time to wait and see how things go, until I see some light in all this madness and am inspired to work on the game again.
However, even in the worst case, if my real job continues to bring me a good income, I will eventually continue working on the game even with the Patreon not working, but for now I will not promise anything.

Anyway, if I have any good news, I'll write about it here later.
But for now, I'm going into standby mode, with trying to somehow get the money from Patreon to my bank (unfortunately, Boosty and Hippolink no longer work with PayPal, which complicates things considerably) and after that, I'll continue working on game update 0.1, and, once it's over, I'll go back into standby mode, with waiting for some truly good news that will motivate me to continue my virtual work.
Thank you for your attention, and once again I apologize for this whole situation, but unfortunately my boiling point has finally reached.But I will still hope for the best, because if everything goes according to the worst-case scenario, the current problems will seem like a trifle in the near future.
