Hey everyone,
I haven't responded to comments in a while ( I'm very backlogged😅) but I just wanted to chime in here. Thanks for taking the time to play my games and leave feedback.
I want my games to be about the story, the characters, the world, and the romance, and I hope they’re a positive experience for everyone who plays them. As the creator, I want to maintain that space, so I hope this helps give a bit of context about how I work.
Just to touch on a couple things for anyone curious:
1. Writing and game dev are hobbies for me, so I create when I enjoy it, and I share because I hope others will enjoy it too <3 Right now, I'm not trying to make this a career or monetize any of my work. If that ever changes, I’ll naturally need to narrow my focus. For now, I'm just having fun creating things I love and sharing them online.
2. Yes, I have ADHD, which means my creative process comes in bursts. Even so, I've completed several long-term projects. Sometimes I won’t touch a project for months, and other times I’ll write multiple chapters in a few days. This rhythm allows me to complete long-term projects at my own pace. This is why I bounce between projects, and also why I don’t monetize my work. I don’t run a Patreon, Ko-fi, etc. because I know my work flow tends to be inconsistent and come in bursts.
I understand the concern about scope and burnout, it’s good advice for someone trying to monetize or make this a profession. I know that my approach isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay. That's just part of the process of sharing something you create with others. Thanks again for checking out my work and sharing your perspective.
