if kom decide to like "fuck it, i'm done this shit." and "hey guys we decide to cancelled our unique game because you guys keep bagging us for update" and then they give the source code of the game like "good bye, make your own things".
The fact that level editing and mod support is already a high priority of the game already means that people can make their own things. Even if Kom left the game right now and released all of the stuff that has been done as one last update, people would be able to do that.

But you know. People actually like the characters that Kom made up for the game, and they want to play levels that feature them.

yeah, man. the character from the game was uh... a little bit overrated (correct me, if i wrong). but man, kom was lost his mind cause of only damn update.

The classic Patreon artist "woe is me I'm so depressed and have anxiety and ptsd and trauma and my dog just died so i can't do any work right now :((((...." Get a real fucking job. Learn how to delegate work to others if you find it so stressful to manage multiple tasks. I can understand animation/programming work being expensive to hire, but you can easily hire someone part-time to handle the marketing/advertising for you at a fair wage considering the income this guy gets from Patreon alone.

I don't think it's really that big of a deal, there's a Beat Banger discord, and there's also a Beat Banger Creators discord. People discussing some unfinished mod creation in a bit more depth there.
To be fair, the modder of that emoji mod just "cancel" the mods publically because the discord bb community killed their motivation to make mods of that, like stealing their work, making fake accusation/drama about them, and some people hating on them just because.
(Kom is kinda right in that speech, "the community may kill bb", well, not literally, but more modders are just giving up due the toxicity there)

More like for the past two years.
And i dont remember modders asking money or gaining anything for their work, he should be grateful just for that, modders make something and he cash the checks.
facts, some modders wanted to work on the game, there's some potential bb animators there

Kom's reply to that in a nutshell... :cautious:

"We don't make enough money to hire people"
(the bunfan revenue: 8k and half dollars per month) BRUH, if i know animation or programming, i would accept 50-100$ per month, no cap

meanwhile there's modders that do animations for only 20$, i think 100$ is too much to ask for Kom because he need every penny for the Furrycom of this year

haha.. "just give us the source code and let people continue your legacy (game)"
well, considering their "open-source" goal is like tons of money
that would be a win-win (double win for the user)
-we can make our own style
-it's free and not like... 20k dollars per month to have that source, lmao

lmao at "we", that's the problem, who the fuck else is he paying a monthly wage while the game is abandoned? The voice actors? Aren't they paid on a per-voiceline basis? What the fuck is he smoking? Hosting a VPS (for the mods server) costs very fucking little nowdays... Who is kom paying? A psychologist? (oh I wish he actually did that tbh) How many devs is he paying currently that arent able to put togheter 1 new shitty 2d looped animation every 3 months? Is he spending money on hookers or something? (I wish he did that too)

Edit: no for real im trying to understand looking at the big picture, he's not even using a licensed game engine, godot is free, discord is free, what the fuck is he doing? bet those shitty merchs he is selling them at a loss or something

Honestly, i am very curious too, like, did he hire over-expensive VAs or what? i know game costs only 10euros or smth, but it cant be that he gets basically nothing, and merch, im kinda sure its also kinda cheap to make while it sells like 50 euros, i mean, so i am also not sure what holds him back, i think he still has patreon, so it cant be that he ran outta money completely, so only explaining is that sales dropped bcuz noone is interested anymore and doesnt buy the game, but even then, a nothing update in 3 months? he aint fooling anyone, so he probably just wants to be lazy too much

I'm clarifying this in case anyone actually believes him:
  • Makes 8k$/month while being the only developer and having very low costs for his servers
  • The only true cost he has is the hosting for the mods, for context a random provider like OVH can get you unlimited 2gbits bandwidth for around 100$, and you can get servers with additional 500gb/50$/month. Which doesn't really scratch his current total income. He probably needs 250$ every month for the total cost.
  • Currently has a shitty VPS for hosting the mods (that occupy only, quoting the mod site "Disk Usage: 69GB"), so probably only spending ~50$ (if he actually got a decent one, since rn he isn't even uploading any new mods since he probably capped the storage)
  • Godot does not require paying any license
  • Steam requires 100$ upfront one-time-fee for putting up the game and 30% of the sale, that's it.
  • Itch does not require money for putting the game, and only an optional 10% cut.
  • Besides all of that, he needs a new dev... "to get the bb site to another place"... as in move the data? Does that really require a new dev, is this actually what's stopping him from adding new content or not shipping broken "WIP" implementations? While let me be clear, doing at most a couple of sketches for new animations.
  • 8000$ - ~50$ = ~7950$ total income rn.... say he pays the full time dev 2k/month.... that's 5950$.... where is the need of a loan? Maybe its 4950$, maybe 3950$?? still don't see how he isn't getting disgustingly rich off of this...

Now, we all know that Kom hasn't been transparent enough about the road map for the game. This is one of the larger matters that's causing frustration from people following the game's development. That's a problem he needs to fix.

But that aside, a bit under 6k left over after the general upkeep of employees and whatnot is pretty good. If the guy is still net $4000-$6000 every month, that's actually about an average salary. That's not remotely "getting disgustingly rich," even if the economy is garbage these days.

We could expand on this further though, if we have estimates as to the costs and gains of any unrelated projects that he's also working on, or other forms of income that he has. Beat Banger also has merchandising, which you could consider both the costs in and amount gained if you have any figures. Point being, while you did a good job of costing for indie dev (which is thankfully much easier now than it ever used to be), there's a lot missing here, and I think that makes your argument less compelling.

This guy is getting paid USD$6,808 per month to draw, animate and code 2D furry porn. I don't care what other expenses he has besides those needed for Beat Banger's development. He shouldn't be using Beat Banger's Patreon income on unnecessary shit. He should be using the funding to develop Beat Banger, because that's why people have subscribed to the Beat Banger Patreon.
