Could you imagine, just for a moment....imagine, if we came together as a ACTUAL community-- BEFORE I GO ON MY WISH UPON WISHES I AM GONNA VENT SOME PERSONAL OPINION FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN OVER THE LAST 4-5 YEARS and A RAPID INCREASE IN FALSE PROJECT STARTUPS / MONEY GRABS that are 100% intentional and in no way intend on making real games but adhering to the 3-5 releases then nothing for over a year with the occasional,
"I got cancer//my pc died//my gf dumped me//police raided my house// excuses...
--WITH THAT SAID HERE INLIES PERSONAL OPINIONS I AM MERELY TRYING TO SAY THAT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH--
``````Everyone who was fed up with this kind of treatment from these devs who abuse the system and make promises they can't keep. I will be the first to say though, shit happens. It does. But if shit constantly happens and have constant push backs with long periods of no comm, and then have beg posts to up the loses that people who supported tried to use as a warning to the devs only to have the white knight weebs reinforce their poor behavior? It is possible to do something different, and unheard of to curb this behavior in the root and stave off this infection of excuse me, but SHITKIDS who are making it impossible for real games to get the space and love they need to grow and flourish.```````
HERE IS MY ASK, And trust me when I say, not easy folks, hard work, sweat, some insults but ultimetly it will yield overall results for the gaming community as a whole. Think about it. That scene in LOTR where its like,
"You have my code!"
"You have my fanbase!"
"And my hacks!"
Or whatever you get the idea. But thats the point, all walks come together, as a giant collective for 2-3 months with a clear goal inmind. And that being, putting together a short but very
REAL GAME to show that if they don't knock off their shit, we can make something just as good. 3 months is a short time, sure. But with the amount of people here and around others who are fed up, its possible through our compined computing power to topple the norm and do something truly never done before and to show "companies" like Helius and the like "Fake devs who milk VN's and their fanbase for whatever reason. *See line 5 of the beginning of my post for usual excuses*
With the collective direction of a classic-oldtimey-pitchfork and laterns filled with kerosene mob, if 3-5 knowledgable programmers/devs/project leaders could put their brave as fuck foot forward, I am thinking 4 minimum as per each lead would oversee their own respective haystack of pissed of patreon supporters that have worked/knowledgable in their respective division. Something like General Management/Timeline Overseer - Coding - Artwork/Voice Actors - Promotion/PR -Bugtesters.
Insane? Hell yea it is. Probable? Long shot. BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE. If one day you looked back at your e-thug days and can say you did take a swing at the corrupt assholes who sit and manipulate your wallet through social subversion and misleading game propoganda just to sweat more money from you......that you took a swing and even if it doesn't work...you will be happy you at least tried. I'd rather miss 999 shots than not take a shot at all. Can YOU genuinly say "I didn't go quitely into that good night, I fought like hell, and gave them hell."
:::Overall:::
Hell, I might just be spinning my own wheels, but with the way things are going and the rapid decline of actual content, and the increase of drm and "copyright" content will only get worse. Art is art. But you can't make a game without either time invested or tons of money. So lets try to tackle it with a swarm approach. We got the numbers. If we got 500 people *Is he fucking nuts?* people to do a minor few lines of code, or could contribute with their expetise on their specific field for a couple of hours. Do you understand the impact that is possible?
I'll go first. I can mix and master at least 50% of the music / soundtrack for the overall game. I love what I do and im damn good at it. I can also help with timeline management and helping the other dev leads setting up and general idea of how we can genuinly implement this absurd idea. THIS RELIES ON PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE DONATING THEIR TIME! ITS NOT PERFECT, BUT HOW MUCH MORE DOES THE GAMING COMMUNITY NEED TO SUFFER BEFORE THESE FALSE GAME DEVS GET SHOWN UP.
