Long Overdue Update
Added 2015-09-02 12:34:59 +0000 UTCHey, everyone. First off, let me express how sorry I am for keeping you all hanging for so long. Any messages I send through the Patreon are counted as "creations" and how I understood monthly payments worked was that if I submitted no creations in a given month, no one would be billed for them. I did not want people to get billed further for months where I had no work to show, but it seems like that didn't work out how I intended after all. When I checked on my Patreon balance, the amount of money within it was far more than it should have been from one month's worth of donations, so I can only assume it's been charging all of you guys for each month, even while inactive. I really do apologize if this has been at all an inconvenience for you, and I would like to refund donations made during months of no updates. Please e-mail me at khommissions@gmail.com with a PayPal address and the amount you pledged for the months with no work, and I will try and reimburse you all in a couple of weeks when I get paid next. I recently had to help my parents with an emergency payment that's put me out a couple of thousand more than I'd like, so I will need until then to refund everyone.
Second of all, me posting now does mean that I fully intend to have a new build of the visual novel up on October 1st. I should have enough time between now and the turn of the month to get everything in order for it. I have had some worried messages sent my way, but rest assured, everything is fine with me, and this long silence was due to the above and also because I was hesitant to make another promise I couldn't keep. As for why it's been so long since I've been able to get another build together for you guys, it's simply because I took too long of a break from the work and the longer I stayed away from the project, the harder it was to pick up again. That's no excuse for such a long delay, but I figure you all deserve to know the reason why. Things should return to normal soon, as I will have enough time to get back into the groove of things. Thank you for your concern, and especially thank you for your patience through all of this.

I'm not 100% sure, but I'll look into it! Previously, just making a new text post in my patron feed was under "New Creations", and that payment method was listed as "per creation", so I didn't want people to get charged for every little thing I post. It doesn't appear to use the same terminology currently, so I'll talk to Patreon's support staff to make sure.

2015-10-02 00:32:44 +0000 UTCThank you! It's very much appreciated!
2015-10-02 00:31:36 +0000 UTCI've seen comics on Patreon charge per page created (e.g. Ace @ <a href="https://www.patreon.com/pepperminthusky?ty=h).">https://www.patreon.com/pepperminthusky?ty=h).</a> What if you changed to this kind of system, but with builds instead of pages? It seems feasible to me.

2015-09-20 04:06:16 +0000 UTCMeh I'm fine with the patronage charge on my account. I know the next build will be awesome. So all the same to me that is. Can't wait to see which storyline you develop in the next update.
