Hi everyone, I'm a dev too; and as the dev of this game I have lived a period of very shitty shit (not yet completely clean) and I live on cappuccinos and 5 different medicines everyday , to fight my serious depression, moods and so on ....
I was left alone, I no longer have anyone in my family, so I can't even count on a simple hug of consolation when I need it ..
But what do you want to do with it? It's life, that's how it goes.
For those who criticize the choice or the lack of choice in working alongside or finding collaborators, I understand well the problems a dev. actually have to face, and they are many and complex ...
If you are rich, well, then you can afford to pay or hire whoever you want (even if it is still difficult to find a right person ...), but if you have no money and you try to beg for an authentic and free collaboration, perhaps based only on the future earnings; then the thing is extremely difficult, if not impossible ...
Translating all:
- this means that you have to find a person who first of all likes your story, the atmosphere you are creating and the style with which you are doing it .... (otherwise he will never use his time for you).
- You have to find a person who has time to dedicate ... and it is not easy because each of us has his own private life, his commitments and his problems.
- You have to find a person who, in addition to all this, can get along with you and with your times and who also fully understands the nuances of what you are asking or doing in your project ....
So It is easy to understand that the difficulties are enormous ...
To give you an example, I have been looking for an English-speaking translator and co-writer for my projects for two years,
2 years, before finding a right person .... and available; and we're talking about lyrics.
Let alone if you are looking for artists, programmers or anything else ... even more complex because the factors involved are more numerous and the times are much longer ....
Forgive this outburst, but I felt and I wanted to write it, especially towards the author (who I find very good and artistically stimulating), and in some way give him a pat on the back, trying to make the public understand (without malice) that many things do not they are visible, or directly intuitive to those outside, when creating projects like this, but they exist.
Nice day to all
