Future, Free or Paid?

Added 2024-02-25 02:16:45 +0000 UTC

As you know I released TAA for ETS2/ATS almost 6 months ago. Continued with improvements for TAA and started to work on other graphic improvements such as lighting, clouds, environment etc.

My plan was making mods/plugins for different games to improve gameplay and enjoyment you get but keeping everything free as long as donations were enough. But looks like that plan is not going well.

Even though TAA has more than 10k users, there are only a few people (around 30-40) donating. I would like to let everyone use everything but It feels like Its not worth to time I spend. It keeps my energy pretty low to keep continue to development. I cannot work well enough compared to before.

So I'm planning to make some mods/plugins paid and with lowest tier patreon subscription you will have access to all mods/plugins I make for any game.

I hope you understand what I mean, I would like to continue making mods/plugins as my main job so I can focus better. But currently its not worth so I need to make it worth.

(If I make mods/plugins paid, It will be only 1$/month and you will have access to every mod/plugin I make)

EDIT:

Also I think I gave a chance to the community, waited 6 months after release. I said I'm going to keep it free if donations are enough when I released TAA first time. Sorry but 1:250 donation ratio is insanely low for the work I did. I wish I could keep all the mods I make free but there is a reality in this world.
