I'm very grateful for all the donations I've received so far, thank you.
Since not everyone is aware of this I want to reiterate that I personally haven't played BDO for a while now, I stopped when the reboot update came out, but I still checked in every once in a while to offer help or insight and occasionally tackled some issues with the existing/future tools as well as the region "blocking".
I code because I enjoy it and I want to help when I can, however my motivation when it comes to modding games typically involves me enjoying said games, and unfortunately for the past few years of BDO that hasn't been the case, and that, alongside reduced amounts of free time and other commitments, is why my activity in regards to modding it has reduced quite significantly.
That being said, the recent generous support from you guys is making me consider additional avenues for support such as GitHub Sponsors or Patreon whereby with your support I would be able to dedicate more of my time to improving existing tools as well as developing new ones, including one to replace resorepless as an easy-to-use all-in-one tool for beginners with more features, and more/better tools for modders to create new mods.
I can't promise monthly updates and public releases, especially not to begin with as there's a lot of code I'd like to rewrite before I begin working on anything new, I could however provide early access to updates and pre-release builds for work-in-progress tools, and perhaps open-source some of the new code (I honestly wanted to do this from the start but I'm not comfortable with the current state of the code, both because it's messy but also because it has many bad practices I would like to correct).
So now I have a question for the community - is this something you'd be willing to support?
Update: I've joined GitHub Sponsors, if you'd like to sponsor me you can do so
