The downside of trying to get enough people to send you clips is relying on them to:
1.) Have said clips
2.) Find said clips if they do not have the clips
3.) Actually editing them into the formats you specified
A lot of players here on F95Zone have at least a small porn collection sitting on their hard drives. Most people only save and download the better or exceptional clips.
One player has sent me over 20 clips so far. No one else has offered to contribute. If there isn't much interest in this mod then I probably won't stick with it long term. Developers don't like to put in lots of hours into projects that won't get used.
Players don't have to do any editing. They can send me the full scene and I can edit it myself. I only listed the video format details for those who are skilled in video editing. I'm not really skilled in video editing but I understand the basics. I mainly just cut out the portions of the video that I don't want and then re-save the video with the parameters I listed. I just use the free 'Windows Movie Maker' software that is a free download with Windows 10. I haven't spent any money on video editing software.
Most of the better scenes I have are from torrent downloads. Most porn websites don't offer good quality HD video downloads without a subscription.
I can do everything myself, it just takes longer. Some players ask how they can contribute to projects and this is the best way to contribute to my mod project of EVIL.
Most people want to play, not contribute let alone create. Imagine what would happen if all the creators and developers went away, players would have nothing to play. I don't have a Patreon account and have never asked for any compensation for the mods I have done.
Games like EVIL are a dying breed. Players absolutely LOVE Ren'Py Visual Novels on this site. They are by far the most popular games on F95Zone. With visual novels, players have their hands held throughout the entire game with little decision making or thinking required. Players want to be entertained without putting forth much effort on their end (kind of like watching a movie).
If I wanted to be popular, I would create Ren'Py Visual Novels with incest as the main theme. Players eat this shit up like there is no tomorrow. Even bad Ren'Py Visual Novels with incest get good reviews and lots of attention for some reason.
If you haven't looked at it yet, you should give 'Girl Life' a try. I contributed to that game for a while last year. It features a female protagonist.
Sorry for my long reply and rant...
