The following may have some fucked up shit in it and, in the case that it does, I apologize, but tl;dr suicidal depression

I, for the past several years after I graduated high school, have been struggling a lot with myself. It's hard to explain, lord knows I've tried, but I just can't force myself to do anything when even when I finish them it doesn't seem to change much. That's what VoD3 has been a victim of. For that, I'm sorry. No, I'm still not quitting. To hell with quitting. Quitting is for quitters, and I'm Nero.

The grand issue is that's easier said than done. I have no real access to a steady income and, just as I was getting in close to getting some form of employment, the coronavirus swooped in and crushed the hope of me making any money... or doing anything else. I have been sitting in my house idly while the government of my country twiddles their dicks and lets people die, so yes, to say I'm frustrated and depressed would be quite accurate, but after a significant amount of struggling, I was able to find a psychiatrist and get some medications, the most recent of which got added on last week.

I wouldn't say I'm fixed or cured or happy at all, but for the first time in months, I was sitting outside in the dark smoking a joint (it's recreationally legal in my state and the dispensaries are still open because they're listed as pharmacies) and I just felt "shit, maybe it's gonna be okay."

For those of you that don't have depression, that's a bit of a shocking thing to think of on that level.

So that was my sign to pick my ass up and do things again

The issue with that is that over the past several years of depression, I've developed several elaborate story ideas, the ones of which I've shared with friends have been received incredibly well and I want to do things with them eventually. No, I'm not giving up this game, no I'm not putting it to the side until later. If you missed the earlier part, I don't have a job, so I have plenty of time to focus, but I genuinely want to do things with these major story ideas I've had if I can. What I do with them remains to be seen and I know that some characters from it will absolutely be in VoD3 because I feel like that'd be interesting and VoD3 was one of the things that helped me come up with a lot the bullshit that became Paradigm Shift.

Now, that being said, I'd like to ask in some capacity for the future because the idea very directly came up recently:

If I were to open a Patreon for these games, way down the line when there are actually things to play, would there be a market for that? I'm asking in earnest because I've... honestly never had an audience this large. The largest I've ever had is, like, 100 people 3 people at a time. 500's a big fucking number, so I want to tread lightly and make sure I know where I'm going before flinging myself in a stupid direction like I probably already have.
