Now I've been along this ride since...well before even chapter 3 was RELEASED! AND, I specifically remember being so HYPED AND PROUD... of CYANCAPSULE'S GROWTH, on patreon alone! Hell, I remember specifically checking out his page on patreon DAILY, JUST to see it go from 'under'...TO $3000, $4000-$6000 to $9000 and UP, to the point where even after a 9 MONTH+ HIATUS... he GETS $14,730 ( A MONTH! ), which is probably WAY more than what most of us make lol ( But I'm so fucking happy for em, BECAUSE, I BELIEVE they fucking deserve that BUDGET and SUPPORT for THEMSELF and the PROJECT, FOR GIVING SOME OF THE ABSOLUTE BEST CONTENT AND GAMES I'VE EVER SEEN!!!
I even remember scouring f95zone just to see if other people got the same positive and uplifting experience I had from it when so much was shit with the world... And, I've seen it grow from something very niche to something that literally has OVER 5100 PAYING supportors!
NOW, that the budget and support have increased to such COPIUS amounts, I think just about EVERYONE would want to see that money and the support their giving... LITERALLY AND DIRECTLY effecting said project... AND HIRING SOME PEOPLE WILL DO EXACTLY THAT . Far too often I've seen people in these situations, OVERWORK themselves, bring themselves to BURNOUT and make themselves hate their own project based solely on the pressure of what's expected/been promised to supporters for said project, but that's the last thing that I want to happen to this creator and they SHOULD use that money and support to lighten the load on themselves!
And hiring team members for things that do not need to be on CYAN alone is KEY! And, would have a plethora a benefits...
-Shared workload
-Time between content readiness being shortened like NEVER BEFORE
-Even more backers, supporters and CONFIDENCE in the project TRULY seeing itself to the end. WITHOUT succumbing to many if not MOST other Project's fate of abandoned incompletion and compromising any planned and desired features just to barely scape a "finished project" (So, I understand some people's general Fear in that regard)
-The massive Explosion this game would have in SOOOOO MANY WAYS...
Even more people would here about this with more CONSISTENT updates (because of)= CONSISTENT discussions and topic of conversations, *A BACKUP PLAN FOR ANY UNFORSEEN DETERMINTES AND PROBLEMS AS CYAN WOULD NOT BE A ONE PERSON ARMY! Supporters growing at potentially an EVEN MORE RAPID PACE THAN EVER, (I MEAN FOR FUCK SAKE CYAN IS STILL MAKING $14,730 (EVERY MONTH!!!!) AFTER A 9 MONTH HIATIS!?!?
FUCK YEAHHHH!✨️
If that doesn't go to show that people KNOW that there is something great here and something even greater and further to push forward as a supporter, than I don't know what will...
I just want Cyan to U S E that budget and support to lighten the GIANT ASS LOAD that IS this amazing project in ways to FURTHER ITSELF, QUICKEN PRODUCTION, LESSON IMAPACT AND DELAYS OF UNFORSEEN PROBLEMS (HENCE THE 9 MONTH DELAY) AND go about all of it in a much healthier and stressless way for Cyan! ❤
(guilt free, headache free, stress free, well...definitely-er)
I mean when a business takes off... they accomodate with production and more employees, when projects are backed and blow up... they increase their working force , HELL, when even youtubers start to succeed... they hire editors, and this is all to accommodate an ever expanding audience AND THEMSELF, this is ALL so they don't burn themselves out, hurt themselves with a constant push to accomplish all of the people's desire's, Expectations, and PROMISES, all while minimizing risk of setbacks for ANY unforeseen problems, and is all and all a much healthier way to go about things and with a consistent growth in SUPPORT and BUDGET...truly improving work methods (as a PRIORITY) SHOULD always, be an absolute given.
I TRULY care about this project AND the person making it, IF I DIDN'T, I wouldn't Be writing all this ,probably wouldn't be hear at all, or saying ignorant mindless shit like [UPdAte tO LOng-sHouLdVe UsEd AI-YoU BaD]
But I'm not that and I DO CARE and want this game to SPREAD AND GIVE AS MANY PEOPLE THE SAME JOY IT BROUGHT TO ME✨️, and there is NOT many games I say that for...
I just hope that this doesn't fall on 'deaf' ears, people care about this, and maybe even Cyan themselve's sees this if this sentiment spreads...)
