Dear patrons,

Не до конца понял, что произошло, да и это не важно... Важно, что из-за одного гада много фанатов остаются разочарованными, как и сам автор игры. Как бы там ни было, спасибо Вам за все, что Вы делаете, мы понимаем Вас и поддержим любое Ваше решение, т.к. основания достаточно веские А тому человеку хочется пожелать того же "добра", что он сделал Вам и нам, в двукратном размере.

An important addition to the third point. Public versions will be released. This paragraph concerns art publications and news.

I'll admit that the prospect of no more TOML scenes disappoints me. That's that game that made me a patron and I always considered the potential for more scenes in the future to be a wonderful bonus. That being said, Novel needs to act in what he considers to be his best interests, and I will respect his decision and continue my support.

I always answer to the meanness in my address. No matter how expensive that answer is. Patreon is not a business for me. It my oeuvre. I don't have to follow corporate ethics.

Can you show me exactly where Novel said he thinks of his fans as a burden? Or is that your interpretattion because I don't see that anywhere.

it is a sad day when an artist thinks of their fans as a burden

I understand your decision, but i hope you can continue with the public posts. Tbh, i didn't like your previous work (sorry a bit too grindy for me :p). But i was on the fence to support this one. I wanted to wait a few release to see where you were going with it. But if you stop the public post..i am not sure how i am suppose to track the improvement of the game..

There is a Taoist story of an old farmer who had worked his crops for many years. One day his horse ran away. Upon hearing the news, his neighbors came to visit. “Such bad luck,” they said sympathetically. “Maybe,” the farmer replied. The next morning the horse returned, bringing with it three other wild horses. “How wonderful,” the neighbors exclaimed. “Maybe,” replied the old man. The following day, his son tried to ride one of the untamed horses, was thrown, and broke his leg. The neighbors again came to offer their sympathy for what they called his “misfortune.” “Maybe,” answered the farmer. The day after, military officials came to the village to draft young men into the army. Seeing that the son's leg was broken, they passed him by. The neighbors congratulated the farmer on how well things had turned out. “Maybe,” said the farmer.

I don't approve your decision but i do respect it. I hope everything turns out the way you wanted to be. Gl man.

I answer rather sparingly because I don't want to distract the interpreter. I am not sure that through Google my answer will be interpreted correctly.

I love ToML and i played the game with almost all endings, i'm a little bit sad, but i completely understand your frustration! Even if you no more make new events for ToML, its still very good game. <3

Why are you punishing supporters over what someone else did?

I'm not actually your Patron Novel , but i loved you previous work and what you are making with CoTV ; now i can clearly listen your pain and you fatigue . For what it can serve , i feel really sorry , i'm close to you ...

Dude, maybe don't make a decision like that, while you are still emotional. You might burn bridges here that will be hard to build again. Not trying to lecture you on how to run a business, but making such relatively grave decisions, while the wound is, so to speak, still raw, is never a wise way to go about, whether in business or private. You are effectively punishing people who support you, over the actions of one individual who seems to have become a patron with the sole intent to pull this stunt. That seems like something one does out of anger, not out of rational thinking.
