I'd start with a plot of land to call my own but one that has relatively low maintainence. Then I would juuuuust in case foolproof it. Meaning buying something like a generator if it's needed. Fueled heater and such. I'd fill the pantry with as many non-perishables as possible to last for years...
Lol. So it's an 'hero ego' thing.
I'm not going to shit on people sharing content. By sharing, we keep the content alive athrough many sites.
But turning it into an ego thing where "I AM THE ONLY ONE ALLOWED TO POST THESE" is just sad. More so when it turns to borderline harassment.
On top of...
One can hope. But I if I'm being honest I think Seath is way too deep in his way of working and that's why adjustable ages won't change. Neither more specific, "loli centric" language would appear.
Also no surprises the fanbox got banned. They are as strict as patreon. Even stricter towards...
You understand that there's actual sites out there which WHENEVER YOU UPLOAD TO THEM take that content and automatically apply THEIR watermark WITHOUT permission of the original artists, right? Often times they are scam sites. Other times they are sites which take people's content and host them...
Bruh. It's on the site. Whatever happened was during the earlier days when AI games got nuked off the site. However since then they added all of them back. And added WAY, WAY more problematic ones. Just search that girl scout island game in the search, its there.
I do get what you mean in terms of the immersion. At the same time, one could treat it as sort of a checklist or diary that MC has. The placeholders are imo understandable, in essence its an "early access" game. I'd say The Lost Guardian is WAY worse in terms of the immersion breaking because it...
Come on, the "sandbox" elements aren't too bad. It's just the same story except you choose which aspect of the story you want to tackle first. It's not like having to click through 100 menus to earn 500$ just so you can earn another scene. Or grinding stats.
But yeah, seems like DD and RWP are...
I don't see a surprise. Both LG and PA have actual finished games behind them on top of having sequels on top.
Where DD, even though its really unique, has a single game with 2 chapters. On top of more... niche content.
I have no idea how it's sold, neither I want to ever know.
We're here talking more about consistent income per month. Not one or two transactions from people. That's usually what fuels game devs. No dev is going to be accepting crypto as form of monthly support unless they have some kind of a...
There are couple. Libertine is still up. Same for Found in translation and Goosenard's games which keep getting developed.
There's also hope with AI. Mostly because each year translations are getting better. Resulting in more japanese games getting translated with better accuracy. It isn't much...
Pretty much. He got booted off majority of sites. Making his own sites would make him way too exposed as everything would be tied to his own bank details. Much easier to target him. Also depending how its done, its more likely for it to be one-off transaction rather than subscription.
No. Seath is a fucking champ for actually fighting through. Dude got booted off patreom, F95, Substar, Fansly and also had his discord threatened. He did a lot of things to keep fighting on and deserves respect.
Although going for a fanbox funded vanilla game is... not the best way to go.
I don't disagree with the fact that they're impossible to monetize properly but you have to have some security in place.
I do also think Seath is very talented and hardworking but going into the game market with with a vanilla game, no patreon, no substar? I want to believe but that's just...
It would be lot of work for sure. But... not as much if you think about it. if he downsized it to 2 games, patching it wouldn't be nearly as bad.
SS wouldn't care if the game didn't have any content like that included. It's literally how Friends In need operates for example.
A vanilla-ish game...
Sure thing. AI does cut costs but it's low quality. Lot of the actual good tools cost money too. Certainly less expensive than voice actors but still an expense.
One of bigger issues is time. You still have to make voices for each individual character. You have to generate those audio files...
My personal experience from working with artists and supporting devs is similar to what you describe.
Immensely talented people, hard workers for most part.
But god damn they often times lack understanding on how to advertise their games, don't understand that marketing the game is half of the...
It might as well be quitting unless he genuinely intends to come back.
It's like having an amazing burger place. However one day they decide they want to rebrand and from now on they serve only salads and vegan burgers. It's the same place in terms of the spot and enviroment but what you get is...
Rest in peace, king.
You really did fight to the bitter end. It's incredibly sad to see the games go like this.
However... I do feel like complete rebrand on Fanbox isn't going to solve much. Fanbox is notorious for their censorship and absolute dedication to censorship due to law complience...
It may be possible to find it on the other big site, I guess. It is going to be a game fully in bounds of their rules I assume.
Problem is whether they would allow it because the game is associated with Seath.
Otherwise, I'm guessing it'll be on his paysites and here.
From my professional...
