We are game developer, artist, storywriter, animator... trying to do something different, like some of the new emerging dev out there, and there is good, very good one that didnt make a good cut for all the time they put in their work. I'm sure you guys will know what i mean by saying that we sacrifice some good time with family and friend to be able to deliver a good game, the best we can!
Is there some days that we dont want to open up the damn computer to complete a scene, yes, are we doing it anyway because we like what we do and that we setup ''deadline'' for our trust supporters, of course we do! All this with a regular job because, hey who can rely on this amount to live after you pay the due taxes and expenses?
Sorry but if you think pulling out 3k is a good amount of money, well, yes it is if i compare to some great creator that struggle to get some support they deserves and i thanks our supporters everytime i can for this, but 3k is nothing when you split with partner, pay the props to create the game, website subsciptions for sounds, assets, diverse fees here and there...
My pc have been upgrade before i reach this goal, but could i use some more gears or a second machine to fasten my work and ease my job, damn right!
