So it's hard to admit, but I'm in a tight situation. I don't think it's wise to have all this stuff up for free, in spite of what I'd like to do. Some stuff I'll leave up, other things I'm gonna charge for.

My short story collection, Computruit, for example. Another thing I'm going to charge is The North. I put a year and a half of my life into that game, I see no reason not to ask for some money for it. My other three games are kinda joke games, just me messing around. I broke my back making The North. Honestly, it feels unfair to have put so much effort into something and for no one to even bat an eye at it. Life is unfair and artists get taken for granted, I get that, but it still stings.

I do feel that from here on out I should be a bit more discerning with what I make and post on itch.io.

I have a Patreon where I post zines and blogs more regularly, and am less candid with.

I'll be keeping some of the stuff up, but I'm gonna clear out a lot of things as well. Some of my projects are duds and are already archived on my Patreon.

It's easy to dismiss this sort of thing as me whining, or the usual hand-waving people do at creatives. But I'm tired. I have a lot of ideas, a lot of ambition, and it feels like it's all just either rotting inside me, or if I go out and make something then nobody cares. I don't think I'm some genius, or that the world owes me. I just wish it wasn't all invisible and that I could actually make some money doing this. I know every artist says this stuff, but it's true. I don't know. I'm just rambling at this point.
