I would suggest that you start up the Patreon, Subscribestar or Ko-Fi right now.
There are a lot of fans of minotaur hotel who will gladly join/donate which you completely deserve for this project, and people might honestly just be waiting for something like that to go up in general so they can show their support.
And thank you for writing what you love and I hope you love what you write!

I've been informed that Patreon will soon be raising their share of creators' earnings, so I want to get it out before that happens so we can secure a more advantageous split.
That said, before I go and do that I'm working on setting up a competent business structure to support the game's development both financially and legally. Patreon or not, I expect the costs to finish the game to be significant and that means dealing with taxes, deductibles, finding the best way to categorize Patreon/Subscribestar earnings, etc.
As a little piece of levity in these times, yesterday I had to talk with my accountant, a nice Brazilian woman in her 50s, to explain to her the exact nature of this work and our situation. She was much more enthusiastic than I could have anticipated and I'm still processing that.
