That means so muuuuuch <3 especially considering you’re pretty much playing all of my least-played games, haha.

This one is still the project I personally feel is the one I’m most proud of even if hardly anyone looks at/downloads it x3 It was such a blast to work on and the whole team was so amazing I wish I could’ve worked with everyone forever!

I’m actually hoping to make a spinoff story set in the same universe but with a totally different MC and outside of SSL for this year’s otome/josei jam. Well, I had hoped it was gonna be for the 2nd yanjam/stained red, but I don’t think I’m gonna have time to make it for that >.< at least not without absolutely destroying myself in the process xD So it makes sense to shuffle my schedule a little bit to push back working on CiQ until June so I can try and make the spinoff for otome/josei jam.

You’re so sweet ^-^ Kofi is always better just because they don’t deduct anything over there so folks get 100% of what you send. Whereas on itch, they don’t take anything themselves if you choose that, but they do have to deduct US tax, and since I’m not a US taxpayer, they set the threshold at the max of 20%. Which means any donations via itch always lose 20% of what’s sent >.<

Please don’t feel as though you have to send something though cos you’ve already supported me before, which I massively appreciate <3

Thanks so much for checking out this one too + for your support in general :3

Ohh good to know about itch, 20% is a lot :0 I usually try to buy kofi for creators if they have it, but wasn't sure how much difference it makes.

If you ever make a spinoff, I'll check it out for sure.

Also, dw about money, I'm in a privileged enough position to support others so Imma do it while I can 🫶 Plus tbf, if I could, I'd sponsor the whole game creation because it feels like whatever you do, I'm THE target audience. Like I couldn't ask for more if I commissioned it, and it all lives in my head rent-free.

Yeah, I think if you can submit like a tax code or something, then you don’t necessarily have to have 20% taken away in US tax, but because I’m considered too poor to pay tax in the UK, I don’t have anything like that to submit to itch as I've never been given one, so they have no choice but to take the maximum of 20% so they’re covered legally or something >.<

It helps that Ko-Fi is a UK company I think :3 And they basically tell you that taxes and stuff are your own responsibility so if you’re selling stuff on there, you need to keep on top of it yourself.

As far as I’m aware though after having spoken to an advisor on stuff like that a couple of years ago, because I’m receiving donations rather than selling things for an income, and because I don’t receive an amount in donations that breaches a certain figure, I don’t have to think about any of that sort of thing, and a good job too cos I wouldn’t have the clue wtf I was doing x3

Well, it’s very kind of you to consider supporting creators cos a lot of people probably still wouldn’t choose to even if they were in a position to do so :3

I’m actually just about to make a post over on Ko-Fi and set a brand new funding goal since the current one was just reached today! ^-^

And man, that means so much to me I don’t even have the words x3 I guess we have pretty similar tastes, haha. Somehow, I still haven’t managed to make the ultimate yandere that always lurks somewhere in the back of my mind just out of reach xD but maybe I’ll get there someday!
