Ontop of that, we're not making much money **at all**. One of our devs isn't even being paid, so don't even think that we're doing this for money.

Every time I come on here I feel like everyone thinks we're a bunch of imbecilic scam artists.

What?!

Isn't your Patreon 10k a month? At least it was previously. That's 2.5k a month since IIRC you have 4 people on your team, which is 30k a year.

For a side hustle that hasn't produced anything in the last 8 months or so that's pretty damn good!

EDIT: By produced anything, I mean something playable besides a few video streams.
I used to be a Patreon and I'll gladly become one again once I see a good product I want to support

They're now 5 devs:
- Gizmo (coder)
- Archie (main animator)
- Abelius (animator)
- Kuja (Artist)
- Vladimir (writing and project manager)

Add several contributors for musics, etc... and the "6th dev" Compound (environment artist) who are not paid.

I believe once they have something to show, people will calm down, be happier and they will start to make money. It will be a struggle until then. I know before they restarted, they were close to 2000 pat's, now they have 1700. Getting something for people to try is going to be crucial though. Before the reboot I was a $25/month supporter, currently do not support. I currently do not support because I 100% have no idea what to expect of the finished product, literally no idea if I will enjoy it either. For me and me alone, I really need the demo to sorta show me the direction they will be taking, how they implement things and sorta the vision for the project. Alot of unknowns still. But all in good time I say!

We are making a little less than $6,800 a month, split between 5 devs, with the coder and artist making the lionshare due to the importance of their expertise.. We also have a 6th one whom we cannot afford to pay yet. We are making very little. This is a labor of love and pride to try and make a good game, we aren't making enough for greed.

That makes sense. I mean you assume that most of these guys are still working full time jobs. It's not like their getting passive income from this (I could see how people would call something a scam if it was just one dude making $7,000 a month with nothing to show for it.

Besides, I assume that remaking a game is going to take forever, but depending on how they setup the rid system I think thing will probably move a LOT faster than they did in pre-rebuild. I just hope that we get there within a month or two. We're approaching half a year without any new content, and it's hard to back a game without seeing any game play updates. I assume once the Demo is out things will smooth over, but it still looks like it'll be a long wait.

So on the topic of the devs not being furries, where does everybody draw that line? I personally like furry porn, but have no interest at all in doing anything related to it in real life, such as fursuits. Does that still make me a furry? I think that's where some confusion comes from. I'm willing to bet the devs are in a similar boat as I am, but don't categorize themselves as furries.

Yeah pretty much the boat we're in. We don't really consider ourselves furries, don't care much for the fandom. But the furry community has some astonishingly good artists and other assorted talent that we can really appreciate. As I said Krystal was one of my first crushes due to the happenstance of playing Star Fox Adventures while going through puberty. One day I went onto my computer and decided to look up that blue fox character that I couldn't remember the name of.

First image I ever encountered of Krystal was a Dr Comet drawing. My fate was immediately sealed.

If that makes me a furry, then fine, I guess, but I don't really like the vast majority of the fandom, personally.

Yeah I don't really understand the controversy behind non furry devs here, it's not a game about the furry fetish it's just anthropomorphic individuals doing the sex.
Basically all they need to have is the ability to draw them and a basic grasp on sexual interaction, as well as some creativity to spice things up.

I'd be more concerned if a game was being made by a group of asexuals who know nothing about sex or hugely conservative folk who are as knowledgeable about it as kids asking sex questions on Yahoo Answers. "if u turn a condom inside out can u use it agen?


You definitely don't need to be a furry to enjoy this stuff, let alone produce it.
Mandatory fursona's for all the devs! 8000 word backstories or riot!

when will the next update come?

I really don't think we'll see something till April. They still, from what I saw on the Discord, make the models for more characters, work more on the quest system, looks like something with the dialog is almost done and work on the combat. Last I heard, main programmer is dealing with a family thing so there is a chance that hurt the timeline too.

I'm half expecting them to take at least another six months. They seem to be set on their perfectionism and don't want to publish a build that isn't 100% polished. If I were in their shoes I'd at least publish something. It doesn't matter how little, it's a way to get player feedback.

Oh yeah? Publish what? An incomplete build with nothing to do yet?

It's not about perfectionism. It's about, you know, making a game. Something that takes time.
