Chapter 5: Week 11 Progress

Hey Homies,

I have some important announcements below, so I'll try to keep this report short.

It's been another busy work week, but thankfully, there's still been slow and steady progress across the board. I've even started working on some animations. Which, despite my usual exhaustion, is pretty damn exciting right now! Not that I've been particularly burnt out, but there's been a notable lack of excitement to dive into heavy coding or scripting lately, and waiting around while my computer renders images after I've already been at work all day can be painfully boring. However, being able to work on animations whenever I have time and then letting them run overnight is a nice change of pace.

Announcement time:

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL: 
I've made some minor changes to the Patreon and Substar tiers. Most notable was adjusting the game's download links to be a Silver tier reward. It's been an internal debate for a while but after some chats with friends and a few complaints, it just didn't feel right to have the game's price vary so much from platform to platform so I've tried to balance it out a little better.

IMPORTANT PATREON INFORMATION FOR APPLE USERS: 
Starting next month, if you use Apple’s in-app payment system, all charges will be subject to Apple's 30% commission fee. This could mean that patrons might pay more (to cover that fee) or that a significant portion of their support goes to Apple instead of directly to the creators. You can avoid this fee if you use other platforms to subscribe to creators. Also, I believe that this does not affect existing subscriptions.
(These are the changes as I understand them, but if you use Apple's in-app payment system to subscribe to creators, then I recommend you also look into these changes yourself.)

Sorry for the huge report.
Hope you all have another wonderful week!
Much love!
JB
