Patreon Updates and Future Plans

Please scroll down for the English content

hi 各位許久不見，我是Chimaki。 在最前面我想先跟各位說結論的部分。

• 這個patreon會開始調整，付費方可獲得的內容將有所調整

• 未來除了眼中的世界進度，會開始貼上其他遊戲開發/rpgmaker插件的內容

• 2025/12 月仍是付費會員的支持者，在眼中的世界榮耀的卡夫特上線後，可以得到一份遊戲序號

• 眼中的世界 - 榮耀的卡夫特 - 已經可以在steam上進行試玩Demo版

下面是一些我想說的話，文字較多，可以斟酌觀看

今年10月底開始，我失業了。其實在2024年底我就跟主管提過離職，打算全職開發獨立遊戲，很幸運的是主管慰留我之外，也承諾我在交辦的事情能妥善處理的狀況下，我可以製作自己的遊戲。這並不是客套的慰留而已，實際上這幾年我也確實在上班時期用了不少時間開發自己的遊戲，這是我比其他人幸運的地方，在台灣這種工作優先的文化中，這是很幸運的一件事

而在這幾年中我其實陸陸續續跟很多合作夥伴開發了大約10多款遊戲，由於大多是成人遊戲，所以進度我也沒有發表在Patreon上讓大家知道。雖然這期間我也是持續在開發眼中的世界的續作，而由於我是工程師，我也認為發布寫好的程式碼在patreon上並不會有任何人想要觀看，所以這將近一年我幾乎沒有發佈任何進度文章。下面這張圖是我這三年開發上架的10款遊戲 可以透過我的linktree找到 https://linktr.ee/chimakier

在這次失業，我跟老婆討論之後決定要再給自己機會。所以選擇了全職開發遊戲。我喜歡開發遊戲，我也享受開發遊戲，我依然想一直以遊戲開發者的身份開發遊戲到7, 80歲，直到我無法開發遊戲。

所以最後也決定不找新工作，而是更全心投入這個行業。我也很謝謝在這段時間依然持續支持訂閱我的贊助者們。

但問題來了，我一直是以開發眼中的世界系列希望大家能夠給予我支持，現在的我雖然有持續開發遊戲，但卻不是只以眼中的世界為主，這樣已經與當初建立patreon的想法有所不同，那接下來我又能夠給予支持的我的人什麼內容？這也我想了很久之後才決定po這篇文章的原因。我覺得還是有必要發一篇文章跟各位說明

可能在近期，也可能在台灣的過年期間，我將會調整贊助者方案可以看到的內容，方案可以取得的內容可能不會再是遊戲的兌換序號，而是其他內容。有可能包開發遊戲的插件諮詢權或是其他的遊戲開發近度。而在2025年12月~12月底仍有持續訂閱的會員們，在眼中的世界2上架時都可以獲得一份遊戲序號。由於我無法確定最終的訂閱方案會變成如何，如果目前的訂閱會對你造成困擾，你也可以先修改成免費加入會員方案，等待新的方案確定之後再修改成您想要的訂閱方案

最後，我很感謝所有訂閱者的支持。有人持續訂閱支持我進行遊戲開發，這對我來說一切都像是不可能發生的事情。在這之後，我也會繼續努力開發我覺得有趣以及好玩的遊戲。

在此，感謝所有會員的支持。我無法用文字去表達，但每位訂閱者的支持，對我來說都是無可取代的奇蹟。

謝謝你們一直以來的支持

Hi everyone, it's been a while. I'm Chimaki.

First and foremost, I'd like to share the main conclusion with you all.

• This Patreon will undergo some adjustments, and the content available to paid subscribers will change. In the future, in addition to updates on Conviction's progress, I will begin posting content about other game development/RPG Maker plugins.

• For supporters who remain paid members in December 2025, you will receive a game key for Conviction: The Glory of Kraft upon its launch.

• Conviction: The Glory of Kraft's playable Demo is now available on Steam.

Below are some thoughts I wanted to share. It's a bit lengthy, so please feel free to read at your discretion.

I lost my job at the end of October this year. I had actually mentioned resigning to my supervisor at the end of 2024, as I planned to pursue full-time independent game development. Fortunately, my supervisor not only asked me to stay but also promised that I could work on my own game as long as the assigned tasks were handled properly. This wasn't just a polite gesture; over the past few years, I genuinely spent a significant amount of work time developing my own games. This is where I've been luckier than others; in Taiwan's work-first culture, this is incredibly fortunate.

Over these past few years, I have continuously developed around 10 games with various partners. Since most of them are adult games, I haven't posted their progress on Patreon for everyone to see. Although I have been continuously developing the sequel to the Conviction series during this time, as an engineer, I also felt that no one would want to view the code I had written posted on Patreon. Consequently, I've published almost no progress articles over the past year. The image below shows the 10 games I've developed and released over the past three years. You can find them through my Linktree: https://linktr.ee/chimakier

After losing my job this time, I discussed it with my wife and decided to give myself another chance. So, I chose to dedicate myself to full-time game development. I love developing games, I enjoy developing games, and I still want to be a game developer until I'm 70 or 80, until I physically can no longer do it.

Therefore, I ultimately decided not to look for a new job but to invest myself more wholeheartedly in this industry. I am also very grateful to the sponsors who have continuously supported my subscription during this time.

But here comes the problem: I have always hoped for your support primarily through the development of the Conviction series. Although I am still developing games now, I am no longer focused solely on Conviction. This deviates from the original intention of setting up this Patreon. So, what content can I offer to those who continue to support me? This is what I pondered for a long time before deciding to post this article. I feel it is necessary to explain this to you all.

In the near future, possibly during the Lunar New Year holiday in Taiwan, I will adjust the content available under the supporter tiers. The content you receive might no longer be a game redemption key, but other types of content. This might include consultation rights for game development plugins or progress updates on other games I'm developing. However, members who remain subscribed from December 2025 until the end of December will receive a game key for Conviction 2 upon its launch. Since I cannot yet confirm the final subscription plans, if the current subscription causes you any inconvenience, you may temporarily switch to the free membership tier and adjust to your desired paid subscription plan once the new plan is confirmed.

Finally, I am deeply thankful for the support of all subscribers. The fact that people continuously subscribe and support me in game development feels like an impossible dream come true. Moving forward, I will continue to work hard to develop games that I find interesting and fun.

Thank you all for your support. Words cannot fully express it, but the support from every single subscriber is an irreplaceable miracle to me.

Thank you for your continuous support. Chimaki
