Thank you Patrons
Today I could see a friend I haven't seen in years. After a long talk, he told me about how my content is leaked in those_you_know_websites because he visits them. Of course I know all artists's content is leaked everywhere, it's something we have to live with. I made the mistake to visit one of those websites to read the comments because curious. Yeah, nothing positive, only attacks against me and my artwork.
Can I be honest?
You, patrons, are saving my life (literally). I have no other work. After finish my university career I took the risk (yes, it's a risk) to became a full-time artist because it's what I love, I love make art, I love please my customers and see how happy they are when I finish a pic or animation or slot in the game.
The taxes for self employed here in Spain are a pain (not intended joke) and I was running out of savings, so much that I almost wasn't gonna be able to pay my taxes, which would mean I'd have to stop working on art and probably sell my stuffs to pay the taxes. I literally pay 50-60% of my incomes in taxes.
This new edition of No Vacancy was a desperate emergency to avoid a poverty situation. That's why I only request $1 to get access to the game. It's something symbolic that doesn't mean a pain in your wallet.
You guys are trusting in me, trusting in my work, still trusting even when I have a delay with the updates (due life stuffs and other commissions). You don't need to be a big donor to receive my appreciation and gratitude. $1 tier? I love you. $5 tier? I love you. $20 tier? Don't know why you do it, but I also love you too.
Only your support makes me possible I can continue creating art. It's sounds common, but it's more real than what it sounds. I've always been transparent with my life, I just try to not make people feel bad about my personal situations if I can find a way to fix it. I suffer them in silence, I don't want to make people worry about them.
With all this been said, I only can say (one more time):
Thank you for your support.

Hay bud don't worry, you are doing an excellent work ^-^
i always enjoyed your work, and wish i knew of your patreon sooner, you have some potential man :D we all have hard time and i don't wish to leave anytime soon. ill stick around as long as possible :3 you are a lovely person, never forget that.
It's no problem, people often find it easy to say negative things online, I can almost guarantee they would find it much more difficult to say it in person, we all care about you
Its not often I see patron artists be genuine about such things, I do support a few other people i'm subscribed to, though its a great thing you are open and honest, and clear communication for those who financially invest for your game is great, I genuinely thought this stuff was discontinued and digged through the net to find your patreon and glad I found it ^^ I personally hope to get my character in the game maybe one day x333 but that's a personal desire and something I probably will keep to myself. ANYWHO, I can assume which website you visited, even though they may be toxic, and you could of just ignored them, but you went out your way to address them regardless and let people know you appreciate them who actually pay instead of leaking the content. Keep up the good work, I only wish more people knew this project is still alive because before I subscribed, I thought it was dead when flash player died. So thank you.
My opinion is that your arts are really great and I like them a lot and of course a great game that keeps the animations at a high level. I am glad that my financial support for you will help a lot, at least as much as I can do for such a great job that you are doing. Keep it up, I believe with all my heart that I will definitely end this situation happily. Once again, the job was amazing. I am glad that I can help such wonderful people as you.
I don't understand why those people are so toxic. I love your art, and the animations are sexy. I'm happy to know what little I can give helps. I do wish I could do more.
Every little amount is helpful. That's why I also offer the access of the game with the minimum I can request, so people can enjoy it without breaking a wallet.
We love you too. And no matter what others might say you are doing a great job here. Keep up the good work
Much love to you! And thank you for sharing this with us! ❤️

Times are tuff but I believe in you. As a content creature and a full time worker as well as a father of 2. I plan on supporting you however i can for the long haul.
