The End of The Road

So, this is it.

When I started rendering hijabi girls six years ago, I didn't expect that I would come this far. To have a lot of people appreciating my works gives me incredible feelings. And a boost, too.

As time went by, the projects evolved and I need financial backers to keep this going. And here we are. A group of people who are committed, and eager to see me improve and continue what I'm doing.

And I'll be forever thankful for that.

You are the same group of people that so stubbornly throw money to keep this project going, even though you are well aware that, what you are getting won't be exclusive anymore because in the end, eventually all my works will be released to the public. For free.

I swear you are the most generous people on the planet.

But lately, there are some people who slipped through among you - but they meant no good from the beginning. All they want is to see this project crash and burn.

For so long, I've been able to keep the gentlemen's agreement respected by the communities. That way, we as a whole - patrons or not - can enjoy things without hurting anyone's livelihood, and the project itself.

But that is all I could do. It's been a great run. But sadly, it has to stop.

Changes

I've been pondering about this for a very long time. But the nature of how the early access contents leaked gave me a lot of disappointment. As I can't pinpoint the culprit (for now), I'm afraid the general public will be suffered from this decision.

It's a tough one, but I got no choice.

I was thinking to quit altogether and leaving this project to dust. But after looking at patrons' records, there are some of you that are here from the very beginning. And it won't be fair to them if I just shut everything down - after everything they gave to this project.

With that in mind, I made some decisions.

Young Love: Episode 9 will be the last set I'll be releasing for free after some early access for patrons. Any set after that will be available exclusively only for patrons.

Yes, there's that. I broke my promise. But I had tried everything to keep it.

What's Next?

I will also make changes to the tiers, as they are no longer represent the best rewards for anyone joining to support me. The waiting time will be reduced and there are fewer differences than before.

From now on, I'm going to spend less time doing random renders and start focusing more on the comics. I know, I just released the 'Pick Your Girl for the Month' program, but I made that program way before all this happened. So at this point, I'm still recording your votes, but I'm still not sure if I can do it regularly as I planned.

As things go now, all the changes on tiers will take effect in the February cycle.

Thank you!

I know it's a long read, but I have to. It's an important turning point and I want to explain the background of these changes as much as I can.

Again, thank you for your support!
