I do not know much about game rendering, why does it take that much money? I understand he works hours in the project, but it seems to be an exorbitant amount of money for such a simple game
The author of the game now receives 3200. This is not very big money. I think for oh, that devote yourself to the game completely, this amount should be at least 6000-8000. You seriously think. what to do such a game is easy? Especially the first time. with so many pictures. Here are the words of the author himself -
All I can say: I have spend all together about 7 months to write a 30 days story, create a huge setting, find all the appropriate characters and give them the best look, create a rpg world etc. I didn't do this extremely laborious work to stop now! But to create a game on such a high level I need 24/7 time. For that: I have to cancel college and terminate work. Of course I need a good financial reason for that. Even though I'd love to work further on this game rather than go to college or to work.
Let's put the cards on the table. The $ you see on Patreon currently are not my or any ones real income! At the end of every month it falls down at some percent to about 2600-2700 in my case. That's what I've earned the last months. That's about 2150€. Minus some Patreon charges and about 100€ Paypal is always withdrawing for dollar/euro conversion. That's 2000-2050€. Minus tax and health insurance = maybe 1200 if I'm lucky. A very small flat in Germany costs (cold rent) at least 400€/month. If you're using the GPU many thousands of hours you can imagine how the electricity bill looks like! Then you have also to buy at least food and beverages. If you got a car, also paying auto insurance. Plus other necessary private things. If you stay in college: about 720€ per year (yeah this is very cheap in comparison to America!). So there's not really much what remains at the end. And for 340 working hours per month, this is really not the most lucrative way to earn money in Germany when the hourly compensation is 8,84€, so for jobs you don't need any qualification!
A GPU, which is used for thousands of hours under full load per year doesn't last much longer than 12-14 months! I need at least 2 GPU's. One GPU = 1000€.
I'm doing it actually much more because of passion to my project at the moment!
