Most likely October, as it lines up with the Next Fest and probably gives me enough time to get another update out (or close to it.) before a Steam release.I've had Season 1 of this game on my wishlist since 15th September last year, and it's supposedly coming out in early access on Steam, but no date yet.
830-ish. Next update will almost certainly have more, though. Had a few things that led to this update being shorter than I would've liked.
Yeahbut just a friendly reminder that leaking releases early hurts creators and can potentially put project you enjoy playing in danger, so try to at least hold on for at least half of the "pre-public release" period before uploading
MC has a face now, as of this update. It's not you lol.
If their stuff is good, it shouldn't matter.
It does matter. Patreon numbers spike a fair bit prior to release, especially in the mid/cheaper tiers. As soon as it's leaked, those numbers either slow down significantly or fall. I could very well just be a dick and DMCA all the links posted here like a certain few devs, no?
Where did they say that? The first release here is publicly available. Free. If a player decides to support on Patreon/Itch/etc., then they're obviously welcome to. All he said was that leaking Patreon-first updates kind of hurts the growth of a project. Which is objectively true.
You haven't been following along, I'm guessing? Might be a good idea before going after someone's character. I've been fully transparent (and communicative as possible) with why an update has taken so long. Progress reports are free on Patreon. The most recent one (#7) might explain a bit.
You clearly didn't ask for my opinion, or anyone else, but, I feel that I need to say a few things here.
according to this article
NILs are relatively new to college athletics as a whole (and fairly controversial among coaches). I based the numbers off of the high end, and then dipped them some based on the controversy around MC. Caleb Williams had made around 10 million USD. The more average number among top recruits tends to be in the
Well, that amount still seems reasonable.
I imagine so. Our colleges already have brands they are sponsored by when we come in. So signing with another isn't even an option. And even then, the money you make off the school sponsors are regulated by the school board.
Damn! Before even going pro? That's insane. Doesn't that affect their eligibility?
Yeah, even before going pro. Though, as Cameo said, many don't ever see anything near seven digits. As long as everything is up to par and on paper, there's nothing effecting eligibility. The transfer portal is kind of a mess on its own, but with NIL and money becoming available to athletes, it's basically turned into a pseudo-free agency that exists in most pro sports in that players will just transfer to whoever's going to pay the most. I believe it does come with a penalty of missing games, but its minimal. There's some inner workings I'm not entirely privy to (which is also why I gloss over certain points that tend to be more superfluous than anything else.), like schools probably having X and X lucrative deals for the player if they come there. Kinda hard to say.
Yeah, the very nasty and ugly part of sports. I'm no ingenue that doesn't know that money rules. But, it is UGLY as fuck. My nephew at 17 is earning more money playing Football (the real one) than his mother and father combined. Even now that he is home injured with a broken clavicle. The kid will be a millionaire before he's 20. Yeah, he trained since he was 5. Gave up his weekends, his vacations, but, even tho, it's too much money... too too much.
The alternative was the universities making those same millions off the names of their players. Player has a bad injury in college and they end up with nothing to show for it, unable to go pro, where the university already made bank. I don't think the new system is perfect--and Livvy Dunne making millions for a sport that doesn't even really -have- a pro version makes it clear it's about marketability as much as anything--but it's better.Yeah, the very nasty and ugly part of sports.

Had someone fill the remaining one that Cameo mentioned a few hours ago. Not sure why Patreon's showing that. Can definitely open up a slot for you, if you want.
