Very bad news about Patreon

Hi,

Unfortunately, yesterday Patreon put a very strict block on all IP addresses related to Russia, and almost no VPN was able to open Patreon for me except for one very ancient one, and I, frankly speaking, don't know how I can continue to use this service, because I can lose access to it at any moment.

I want to remind you that if you want to stay in touch with me, I use these applications most often:

Furaffinity - https://www.furaffinity.net/user/shinesl

X - https://twitter.com/ShineSL_

Discord - https://discord.gg/rSQXCYaccQ

There you will find all the other links where you can find me.

Regarding Patreon, I'll try to use it as long as I have access, but if for some reason I lose access, everything will go quiet. Perhaps I should stop collecting donations for the game so they don't go to waste. I used to keep the Patreon as a stash, in no rush to withdraw the money, hoping for the conflict to end, but unfortunately, after this block, I can no longer trust Patreon as my savings for a quieter future, and I had to withdraw my funds. I don't know whether they'll eventually reach me, but unfortunately, I can't keep it all hanging in limbo, constantly hoping for luck and that everything will work out.

Regarding the game project, I'll finish the final update 0.1 and post it on the sites mentioned above. If I have access to Patreon by then, I'll post it here too.

Friends advise me to replace Patreon with Subscribestar, but maybe they'll soon do something that will make it impossible to use their site from my country as well. I don't know.

Does this mean the end of development on the game, regarding the Legend of the Krystal? I can't give a clear answer. There were so many reasons for me to do this, but I didn't want to let anyone down and wanted to finish the job, but circumstances are tightening around my neck, whether it's the laws of my country, which are already so vague that it's no longer clear what's allowed and what's not, or world politics, which unfortunately also affects everyone, most of whom would prefer not to have anything to do with it. But what we have is what we have, and unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about it.

In general, stay in touch, I don’t want to promise anything now, I’m in a very bad mood at the moment.
