TMAB (This Month at Braytech)
🕑 Added 2022-09-28 05:26:33 +0000 UTCIt's Season of Plunder and the weather is disappointing – or at least it is in Brisbane.
The first few weeks are always about patching bugs and bring Braytech up to speed with API changes and content amendments to support the new season. That went fine.
Then I got really depressed, like more so than usual and I guess that's what today's post is really about: a shareholder call to reassure the patrons that I am in fact not dead (yet) and that I do, as I always have, feel accountable for the frequency and quality of additions to Braytech and adjacent products, especially as it's like, my entire livelihood.
That said, if I had chosen the ad-supported route, I'd never have needed to keep the ads assured of any ongoing commitments. Cut and run, girl!
I've been meaning to write this post for a week and I finally mustered the motivation and confidence. Self-high five.
I have a backlog of suggestions to work through, but if you'd like to add to it, by all means!
Yours in Clovis Bray and many thanks for your continued support, Tom

Many folks said it, I'm going to echo: I love your work and the quality that you put into every. single. detail. is a cut above any other indie creator. Keep it up and don't be down on yourself.

Your site brings tremendous value to the community with you just keeping the site running. There will always be a list of improvement and new features to add. There will always be someone asking for more. Just don't lose sight of what you have already built and the huge community you help enjoy their favorite game a little bit better every time they play. It adds up to a huge impact on the destiny community. You built this. Be proud of it, be humble but feel really good about what you have built.

I really enjoy your site and it has helped me continue my slog through the content this season and keep focused. That said we care about your well being more than anything, so take any time you need. May you get all the exotics you want first run through!

Echoing the sentiments of those above - no worries about limited updates, the tool is awesome and continues to get better. Depression is a pain in the arse, and I know how hard it is to start doing anything when the black dog is in residence. You've got a good supportive community here.

P.S. - I'm sure the backlog is huge, but the next big thing that's a pain in the butt to track in this game is pattern progress for craftable weapons, just sayin *big grin*

Hopefully you'll read this and feel a bit better, because you deserve to! I've always loved Braytech, at first for the look and feel but now for the indispensable utility as well. I took a nearly complete hiatus for a couple of seasons... jumping back in recently, one of the first things I realized I needed to do was to catch up on exotics from Lost Sectors... I grumbled to myself and started putting the pieces that I needed together from like 3 different websites... and then I found that Braytech has a page that lays it all out by day, tells me what I haven't unlocked, and will also send me a push notification? Dude you are amazing, and I hope you're able to take some time and take care of yourself!

Wanted to re-echo the sentiments above, Braytech is awesome and no apologies are needed. As mentioned by others, sorry you are feeling depressed but I hope you are able to get the help and support you need. You are very much appreciated.

Please don't feel a need to apologize to us for taking some time for a break or self-care! We love Braytech, but it's not worth more than you are.

Of all the random patreons I'm subscribed to this one is absolutely the last to get cancelled. Depression is rough and I'm sorry you're going through it.
