Glad to hear, although from a business stand point I can see why they were trying to basically take a cut of the proceeds... As they are a business and they have to make money somehow... They must not be making enough money from Ads or they plan to grow the business, at least that is the only 2 logical reasons outside of greed that I can think of...
This was not a cut for Patreon. It was for the payment providers. Patreon takes a straight 5%. Not everything needs to be a conspiracy, even if it's poorly thought out.
That might be hard to do because Cuneiform tablets were also the first, and generally the best, form of encryption during the ancient era's. Basically, you could write them down on these tablets then, if I remember correctly, seal them between two tablets. That way, if the message came to you and it was opened, which you would have to do with a chisel, which would be very obvious to the person receiving the message, you could quickly realize that someone knows what you're planning and act against it. Cuneiform might make sense for the game, but at the same time it might not. Cuneiform was used in between the 31st Century BC to the 1st Century AD. But even by the 1st Century, and for a while before that, people were using papyrus to write things down, rather than the tablets (though that is mostly speculation, don't quote me on that, not an expert in that field). Coming across one randomly would be extremely rare, and most who would actually have a cuneiform tablet would realize that it's some form of writing, but perhaps not what it says. So, if you wanted to go down that route, perhaps a rich collector or merchant in town has one and you have to haggle for it?
I was really struggling to understand what you are referring to, but it finally dawned on me. You're talking about the Patreon posts, aren't you? Heh, got to keep some boons for my patrons, you know.
my broke ass is waiting on those previews of the girlsI was really struggling to understand what you are referring to, but it finally dawned on me. You're talking about the Patreon posts, aren't you? Heh, got to keep some boons for my patrons, you know.
On the flip side, I've shared a lot of things in this thread that I haven't gotten around to sharing with my patrons yet (mostly because I forget).
You won't get those particular previews without being a $20 patron (they are 4k renders made specifically as a patron reward), but I'll provide a different kind of preview for the rest of my patrons a little later.
There should be an update shortly sometime this month, the OP maybe miss dated the last update was Nov 29th or 30th.
I totally understand not constricting yourself to a release date. I'm just hyped to see these new lady folk.
Time to risk being brought before the Hague Tribunal again.
What? My wholly accurate description of them wasn't enough? Don't let Belle fool you with his "inaccurate" label. He's just trying to obfuscate the brilliance of my deductive skills.
I'll add one observation to this. Belle has mentioned that there are a lot of things he or she would like to include in this update, but there may not be time for all of it. That indicates, to me at least, that while the release date is flexible, it is more likely to get released near the end of December than be delayed extensively because something isn't done yet. Of course, I'm often misread things, so take it for what it's worth.
yeah just go ahead and finish up the entire game by the end of the month thanks.
While I believe that the grind is super real right now, based on the size of this forum for the amount of time that its been up and your unique story and high quality renders, I believe that this will quickly become worth it. I'm actually predicting that your game will become one of these massive, multi-hundred page games because I believe your work merits it. Push through these beginning phases and you will be glad you persevered.
Thanks! Just to be clear, there's no reason to be afraid that I won't finish what I've started. As a person, I'm stubbornly dedicated to my projects. I've seen some other projects that fell apart because of the creator struggling with mental issues (such as depression), but I'm not like that at all. If I ever feel like I'm overworking myself, I'm perfectly capable of scaling back things until I get my head back above water, and then go full steam ahead again. It also helps that my life doesn't rely on the success or failure of this project, which keeps the pressure down.
