Ideally, I wanted to wait until I finished Hirdrih to make a Ko-Fi account.

One reason is because Hirdrih, much like Nortubel, is basically a hobby/amateur game.

(And ideally, Hirdrih is intended as a much smaller game).

Because ideally I wanted my third game (After Hirdrih, which is the second) where I want things to be better.

As in, being able to commission better artists or to pay someone to help with code, EVEN with my plans of making all my games free and available on GitHub.

Meaning the monetary gains would come from optional donations through Ko-Fi for anyone interested in my stuff.

But I thought I should try it sooner for two major reasons:

One being my PC which even after updating the NVidia drivers and formatting my PC to clear things up, the PC still has issues.

I still think it’s something physical, be it dust inside the machine, maybe a part being messed up etc but in my mind, I always wondered whether or not I should give Linux (Presumably Mint) a chance (Even if I should  research this better).

AND AGAIN, before formatting files, the crashes caused a GitHub file to be corrupted meaning I would be unable to update Hirdrih properly.

The second reason is IRL stuff: Someone in my family got sick, money got tight, bills etc.

Meaning the money I’d receive would either be for my projects or at least to help my family IRL.

Therefore they’d probably want to be aware of how much I receive and what I do with the money anyway.

Because I want these games and projects to be a major part of my life.

Even then, I should probably consider other ways to get money even though, due to panic and clearing files, I deleted some programs related to graphic design and other activities outside of my current interests.

(And if I were to get Linux, maybe some wouldn’t have alternatives that work? I dunno because the programs I used for my current interests do have alternatives and Linux versions).

About Hirdrih:

After thinking my PC was finally fixed, I did some minor updates and wanted to do yet another character design phase.

Because I wanted to come up with more characters and designs, just to update the MEGA gallery, THEN use the MEGA gallery as reference for a gallery system I wanted to include for Hirdrih.

So I started doing some characters and did like 6 so far until my PC crashed yet again while I was doing a 7th character.

I still saved the Krita file.

And yes, I know that coming up with characters and lore is not the same as actually doing level design or implementing a new gameplay feature like an enemy.

Because even with a Ko-Fi active, it should be obvious I would still work on Hirdrih with the same methods and ways I do stuff.

Again why I wanted to wait until my third game, which I always imagined would be the “break out” for me.

IN CASE I DO MAKE A KO-FI ACCOUNT SOONER THAN ORIGINALLY PLANNED:

I would want that to happen AFTER my PC is fixed.

BECAUSE it’s with a fixed PC I can actually work.

And because realistically, the money I’d get through Ko-Fi donations wouldn’t be enough to pay for how much I might spend for getting the PC fixed (Also did I mention that some years ago, we threw away the boxes of the PC and its parts? Terrible choice).

And I would also have to focus on working on my games and projects, so no dumb blog rants about stupid internet trends or my opinions or looking too much into other people’s art?

I keep saying that any mutual/friend who wants me to reblog/share/repost etc their stuff, feel free to send it to me and I’ll do it.

I also am aware that some of my peers also rely on Ko-Fi and stuff.

So in that time, I would also like to support them as much as they support me.
