Hi everyone! This post is to give some updates on current and future projects, as well as to share some thoughts.
First of all, the next release will be a revised version of SOTG with additional content. A few more scenarios for the aztec level, as well as scenes where we get to see Crania's impregnation from Quetz and taking care of the eggs. This almost got in time for easter which kind of feels like it was thematic of that. That was not the case but it almost coincided. I will also add missing content like the new "Free mode" and update the profiles mode to include new characters.
Now let's talk about progress, last two months were rough, i had my biggest amount of money pledged followed by the largest drop in supporters I've ever had, so it was a time of powerful emotions, i can't think of many reasons why, but most of my sources of income are also slowing down, so it might be a situation where not everyone is super financially stable. Maybe i took too much time between releases, which i do think i'm guilty of. So, best thing i can do is to work harder. Not as easy to justify more work, but i'm trying to be more aggressive with self-promotion and social media presence. If you know of any social media or forums where i could show my work, please let me know, i would really appreciate it.
I would also like to ask you to please consider following me on these social media if you have accounts there.
I post additional stuff there, for twitter i will start posting some of my "personal" screenshots of my games and promo images. Showcase of future features will remain here like always.

I would really appreciate it of you could join me there, i think sometimes numbers do matter, if you already have, thank you so much!
Now let's talk about the future.
Since SOTGv0.4 is almost done, I'm close to start working on the final version of ROAG. The first thing i'll work on is a new version with additional content before the actual final mission, i'll add more enemies as well as a fight between the goddesses.
So this should come sooner than a regular version. Right after that work on the final mission will start. This will be interesting, this will be the first game with a plot i ever complete. But i'm actually very excited to finish it and start working on it's sequel. ROAG has been feeling very limited, and i have so many ideas for the new project.
Anyway, i just wanted to share a bit of my pain, and plans for the future. Work continues and the chase for the dream goes on, i hope ROAG becomes a good learning experience so i can give it my all with the future projects, specially ROAG2 and BOTP.
Finally I would like to ask you to please do not share the content of this patreon page. I know sometimes piracy becomes a necessity and even i think it's ok sometimes, but please consider that i'm just a struggling wanabe dev that is trying to make this work. I won't make any excuses, I need to work hard, but if you have had access to my content from leaks and you have enjoyed it, please consider supporting me so i can continue doing this. If you think it has potential or if you like some aspects, please consider joining me and you can share your thoughts on what i could add to the games to make it better.
