A few responses regarding the latest comments on this thread.
I also wish we would have been able to grow into a larger company.
This in order to meet with the higher demands and expectations of our users.
But regrettably no backing by a large studio, venture capitalists or anything else that would make this possible.

As it currently stands, I am working full time on this project and my friends in part time.
The sales of XStoryPlayer are enough for an average salary and paying the bills (feel free to derive the sales from this

).
N.b.: I am not saying this to generate any sympathy, it is simply how things are.
Because developing software is a slow process, Patreon is not used by us.
We think it is fair that people pay for something that is a finished product. A "what you see is what you get" kind of approach.
Also it allows us to take the time we feel is needed for development without the outside pressure.
Even though some of the comments regarding XStoryPlayer can be considered somewhat negative (especially regarding the speed of development),
I also see them as a compliment because it means that people take XStoryPlayer very much to heart.
The new version 4.0 will regrettably not be around for some time, so I have to disappoint people anticipating anything soon.
