A new year and a change of management (not really, but still kind of)
🕑 Added 2022-01-04 13:53:21 +0000 UTCHello my dear patrons & followers!
First things first: HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Now, to the topic at hand, the old and the new year. 2021 was a big disappointment, in many way. But, to stay positive, it somehow managed to provide me with a client project that was so incredible boring but also paid well enough, that I can start 2022 in a much better way. And at least for the first quarter of the year, I will put 100% of my time in my own projects.
That comes with a big change:
Heptamind (my own company) will no longer only just act as publisher of MMM but also as the acting developer. What might look like a cosmetic change at first actually means a few things:
- The money from this patreon page will go to Heptamind (starting with the end of January).
- I will no longer work on this project in my free time after work.
- I will now work on MMM as part of my work, investing "company time". That should result in a more steady development.
Apart from these harder facts, it's a change of how I see this project. I hated how I didn't put as much time into MMM as it deserved, and while I am fully aware that the combination of free time and mental energy was a rare thing for me during the last 1.5 years, I still felt like neglecting MMM and all of its users and in a way the whole community.
But, as project management changes from me (as in person who spends free time on MMM) to me (as in a one-man company seeing MMM as a commercial project), you might want to re-evaluate your patronage. Though please don't panic over the implications of the last sentence, I don't plan to raise prices on MMM or anything, I'm quite happy how it does financially given the fact that it is quite a niche product. I just hope that MMM finally gets all those updates and features I kinda promised you all way too long ago.
During January I will update this project page and post status updates again. Other things I have planned is the first of a couple of tutorial videos and the return of early beta versions for patrons.
So, I wrote this directly from my brain and it might be confusing or badly phrased here and there. So, do you have any qustions? What are your thoughts?
Comments are very welcome!
