A developer is joining the Patreon effort
Since January 2016 kd-11 has been working (mainly) on the graphical parts of the emulator, fixing a lot of bugs, putting out some great performance increases and implementing new things.
In the past few weeks kd-11 has been greatly improving the Vulkan render rewriting several parts of it, fixing many bugs and improving performance. Today the second part of those changes will be pushed to GitHub, and most importantly, kd-11 will be joining the Patreon so he can buy hardware for development and testing amongst other things that may be needed.

A little question are patreon only news are still a thing, or since the begining nothing was planed? would like more detailed news on what is being working on thanks.
Good news!
I'm a little confused. Does this mean that kd-11 is going to be a second full-time developer? Or that you are simply sharing the Patreon funding with them?
kd-11 isn't going to be developing full-time for the time being, he has a job to attend to. Patreon funding will be used to get him some new hardware, mainly good modern GPUs to help him develop and test stuff. He currently only has a HD 7970 card and an i3 CPU to work with.
So cool and thank you for your work
This is awesome! And thanks so much for the Vulkan improvements
