Ok ... up to this point I was only reading here ... but this topic got my eye and I`m really interested ... how does it works actually?
What I mean is ... if he is not producing (if i`m understanding correctly this whole thing about delays and so on) and somebody keeps pushing money into his account ... is there something behind the curtain ? I mean anyone will get fired real quick if I he/she does not produce the thing that have been hired for. Is this some kind of addiction on the patreons part? What is it ... really ? Some scheme or ... I don`t know ... something
To my knowledge ... and i have been in the design and visual arts professionally for 20+ years ... 99.9 percent of the created graphics used in probably all games posted here are just some assets for daz studio ... with a few corrections on the model part ... bad lighting and setup ... aaaaand some pretty ugly to mediocre renders compared to what real 3d professionally composed and rendered visuals look like.
AAA games start from $60 - ONE time ... maybe some DLC later but still 60 dollars.
How is it someone actually pays way way more in the process of those absurdly long "development" timelines to someone that underperforms ... not just arrogantly ... he just abuses the meaning of > under performance
those daz renders take about 5min each ... and if done smart even shorter ... the engine is just too spartan for anything special that will actually take the so called months and years time to complete the whole graphic side of any VN.
So what is it ? Its obvious even to a retard that he is fucking them up ... this dude that produces this game ...
by the way ... is he russian ?
