Hi lordofthewhales and first of all a happy new year.
Unfortunately, the flu came back, 2 days before New Year's Eve, but well, I'll deal with it
Thank you for asking and I hope you at least well.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your detailed answer.
Although some of my fears have been confirmed, I am really grateful to you, because you give me an insight from the outside.
I'll try to go into a little detail on everything.
I thought long and hard about whether to even mention the token. This one actually just came about because I wanted to know if I could get something like this to work via code. It worked and I was a little proud. In the end, I thought it was too bad to just throw the token away, so I added liquidity instead. At that time, I didn't realize how much fraud was being perpetrated with these tokens.
In the meantime, I understand the problems better and better.
Therefore, I can completely understand your arguments and also understand everyone who is not interested in my token. This Mini Game, is also the only action regarding the token. There will be no further efforts to sell it. In the future, I would like to focus only on developing games and nothing else.
Of course, I will not manage to win your trust only with words. On the contrary, I am fully aware that I have to earn it. But I think everything starts with honest words. So briefly to my person. I was born in 1981 in Frankfurt/Germany. Since I was 20 years old, I have been working as an entrepreneur in the construction industry. I do not want to praise myself, but I am said to be not bad. As far as quite great, money could be earned, there would not have been this feeling, an emptiness in me.
About 2 years ago, I became aware of Unity by chance.
Since that day, everything has changed. I was never in my life, so interested in something. Since I never had anything to do with programming before, I did a total of 7 courses, 4 specifically for Unity and 3 for C# within 3 months. Then came a 2 month trial period and I was able to get more and more into it. The best thing was, that empty feeling inside me was gone and my head was soaking up the knowledge. Then the development phase began, I had a few different ideas that I wanted to give a chance to all. In the end, all the ideas turned out to be great projects.
For this reason, I decided to present all projects on Patreon and offer at least one playable alpha version of each game. I also thought about it for a long time, if I want to make the levels visible before the games are released. I never thought and I don't expect that someone will support a level before the game is released.
Quite frankly and honestly. It is quite possible that some dates still shift backwards. As you also mentioned, I will not release a game unfinished just because there is a rough date. That is not my way. I would rather apologize to you and get back to work. In the end, let the users decide which games will be developed after the alpha version and which will not.
But as I said, I understand your point of view and will take it to heart.
I can only say that I am real and I don't want to cheat or rip anyone off. I thrive on this work behind the development of games. My wife is mad at me because I've been sitting in the development environment between 230 and 270 hours a month for 1.5 years. But she can understand my goals and I would like to share them with you now.
Quite simply, if I manage to create games that excite you and eventually generate revenue to be able to close my construction company. Then it will all have been worth it for me. In the future, to be able to concentrate only on game development, that's all I want. And I was raised that I have always worked for my money. Therefore, you can rely on it, I will as long as I breathe, always diligently continue to work on my games and drive them forward for you.
As for the assets, you will see it in my future ones, all assets are bought and that with license. I want to save myself the trouble of license violations and I also find the quality of most free assets insufficient.
I hope I could give you a little insight into my thoughts.
Happy new year to all of you.
