I am the messiah
I spent the Kickstarter money on rent, because during a meditation retreat I decided I would be more productive having my own private place with a nice desktop computer, and it was worth it to take the risk of having a stable place for a year over living in a van indefinitely. The van is still a good idea for a backup safety net, and although it is an exciting way to live it’s not the most convenient way so if I don’t have to do it I shouldn’t. I may end up doing it anyway depending on how the next year goes. I lived on the $9000 (after fees) for a year which seems reasonably modest, but now I’ve run out, so I am taking some online classes and living off of student loans while continuing to work on the game full time. So now it’s a race against time; I’ll have to start shipping the game and hopefully start making income by the time I need to repay the loans. In the meantime I’ve put up a Patreon; your support is greatly appreciated.
