You might not mean it the way you phrased it, but if you do, that is pretty messed up..
Sorry but that can work an year,two,three.But after that it is inevitable to have regress.It's same thing in every sport in the world.
He's already sitting on gold. There's no other explanation. Paycheck like that should motivate the shit out of you.
That's some fucked-up thinking right there. You'd rather people go hungry so they can churn out fap material for you?
He's pretty much confirmed he will not be releasing anything until after his return. You should communicate your concerns to him directly.
After what both examples given have made monetarily.. it's very unlikely anyone is going to actually be hungry. You also took that a little bit too literal so you completely missed the point.
He literally said "Once they're well-fed and satisfied, they just stop producing." Even if it's not literal hunger, advocating that artists shouldn't be paid enough so they keep on grinding is still fucked up
I would suggest for you to download some free rendering programs, test them out then come back after you've tried them out. The three main parts to any VN (Rendering, coding and script writing) are very difficult to get right so try it out and come back after you've had the chance. ICSTOR's doing a damn fine job all things considered.First of all what is the developer of the game actually developing in the game?
Is he the one who make the renders? Or he is the one who is doing the codding? Or may be he is the one who is doing both! In that case I believe that what is he saying, because codding + rendering is something that requires a lot time. But otherwise if he is doing half of the job I don't believe in a single word of that what he said. I know what is to do renders of animations and pictures and once you got the right settings you are going to set the scenes pretty fast and the PC will do the rest, so I don't see how he can suffer from that. Else if He is doing the codding, that might be actually true, codding is thinking, codding is testing, codding is very difficult, but for a game where your choices are not effecting the story of the game or the end of the game I don't see it so painful. Most likely the problem is way more deeper and He just cant share it with us. Even if He quit the game, which is very unlikely to happen, don't blame him. That's his project, no company owns him. As the Joker said: " if you are good in something... don't do it for free" so yes he is going to work for money.
Icstor has made an estimated $9,000 to $40,000 per month for the past several months, according to Graphtreon. Pretty sure he's not scrounging the couch for quarters to buy ramen noodles. I'm not saying they shouldn't be paid enough - I'm saying they need to remain hungry. Hungry for what is up to them - I don't care what it is: hungry for food, hungry to prove themselves, hungry for fame or fortune. Once they lose whatever is driving them to produce, they seem to no longer produce.
Even the best of the best run out of steam.Just see what happen with Martin Fourcade at the biathlon this year.He obliterate the competition previous 7 years,but season 2018/2019 he was unrecognisable.Same goes with football,basketball,F1 etc.
I would suggest for you to search a few other VN's here and seeing if that changes your chain of thought.
Another post based on unsubstantiated claims. Passion died down? Based on what? @Walg points out ICSTOR has been consistent, I would go as far as better than consistent. The amount of quality content ICSTOR has been putting out over "x" months per update over the course of Milfy City's development actually has been more than what he has done in past projects over the same amount of time.
Because making porn games is not a get rich quick scheme.
