So it's been over a year since I made a post here, but I've been thinking lately, and since something came up this morning I'm a bit more re-energized by the idea. So to the like, 30 people who happen to pass through here on any given day, (Holy shit how are there so many I've been dead for a year) I want to pose a question.
If I were to open up a Patreon to get back to work on Shield High, would anyone look at supporting it? I've been playing with the idea of getting back to work on Shield High on and off for a few months now, to the point where I have a new framework that avoids most of the bugs of the first one lying on my computer waiting for me to inject a combat system into it. Really the only thing lacking is an incentive to get working, which the promise of even a few hundred dollars a month would probably provide.
Alternately, regardless of responses to this point, I'm looking at pitching the game to Nutaku, who are looking at investing the in adult games. They're also apparently picking up a sales team out of the community so if any of my fans happen to be on said team, throwing in a good word would be much appreciated.
And as a final point of news, mostly to people who would be on the fence about Patreon and need a little more incentive to throw their voice behind me doing it, in the past couple of months I've befriended a rather reliable artist, who I today asked about helping out with Shield High. I asked for the Nutaku thing, however given his tastes, regular commissions off Patreon money would probably also be an option.
So yes, that's the situation relating to Shield High and my considering bringing it back.
For those who care about my personal life, I finished that book I mentioned, and it's now sitting in the inbox of a bunch of publishers waiting to be rejected. I also wrote a whole other light novel in the past 2 months which I'll be publishing on Amazon probably next month. It's not at all lewd, but I'll throw out a link to it in the comments for those of you who just love my work in general.
