Very excited to upgrade! Thank you and Happy Holidays.

Are there still plans for a Patreon?

Thanks Leonides02!

Yes, we plan on doing many small interim updates via Patreon from now on, and then major updates (e.g. V2, V3, V4... - that consolidate the many small updates and add bigger new features) here at Renderosity when the times are right (annually, maybe?).

We think this will compliment our own working styles, and allow customers to get 'the latest' new, but more tested, features as they become available - rather than saving far too many features for far too long between our major updates.

Kind of a mixed development mode: agile/beta model from Patreon - for the adventurous folks who might need a specific feature, or want the latest, or wish to help keep VWD alive with Patreon sponsorship - along with the usual traditional major releases that can be counted on as being more stable and tested from here at Renerosity.

We'll revive the other Patreon forum thread with details when we have more concrete plans. The site is up and available for those who wish to sponsor early! :^)

Getting this baseline version 2.x in place here at Renderosity is/was key to the long-term model, and will help set the foundation for our ongoing mini-updates on Patreon.

As always, we appreciate the consistent support of our core users and hope this model will work for everyone - especially Gérald - who can now work with his own inspiration (he has many ideas in mind), as opposed to the deadlines of his crazy friend and partner (me).

cheers to all,

VWD3D / VWD_dan
