Following some peer pressure (just kidding...), I decided to open up a Patreon page for those who want to help me support the website. I don't intend to make a living out of it, so the goals are set for what the website costs me, and nothing more.
I also wrote my very first post on there, opening with a progress update on Release 19.1.
You can read it here. I even included a little demo video of the new stuff , so be sure to check it out.
I don't have any estimated release date so far, as I've yet to tackle another rehaul of a whole system. Once I get into it, I should be able to give out an estimated release date.
This is just a small message to keep you guys informed.
As I've been busy a lot lately, updates on the website slowed down a bit. You've probably noticed it from the past 3 releases which didn't bring up big features, like the previous releases. Since the website data is in an 'okay' state for now, I moved on to increasing its visibility. According to a few website analyzer tools and Google Seach Analytics, I need to step up my game and fix some issues.
Just letting you guys know that I'm still on it, on a slower pace, and working in the background.
Expect BIG when I get back to work full time on the next module (boss attack patterns )
