Future Budget and Spending Plans
🕑 Added 2024-03-03 17:00:05 +0000 UTCHello to all backers!
I hope you've enjoyed the new content this past month. My goal with this post is to be pretty transparent about the cost and spending that goes into the game, as well as future spending plans.
So, to get started this month I ended up spending $4,383.40 on the artwork and assets that went into the game. In total I ended up making $1414.01, so that helped offset the cost a bit; however, I still was in the negative $2,969.39 this month.
Now, there are multiple reasons for why I spent so much these past months (mostly because I wanted to get more art in so the game wasn't so barren...), but from now on in the future there will be a stricter budget so I can continue developing the game and not go bankrupt.
From now on the planned monthly budget towards assets will be:
MONTHLY BUDGET $2,000
Pixel Animations - $1,000
Lewd CGs - $500
Character Art - $300
Map Sprites - $100
I believe this is a good amount of money to contribute towards assets. Regardless of support, I will contribute $2,000 towards the games for the next couple of months even at a loss in order to continue steady development of the game.
This way we can continue progressing content even though the game is rather new and is costing a bit of money to make. This month was the exception, as in the future I unfortunately cannot afford to spend 3k out of pocket again...
I hope you all continue to enjoy the content, I have a lot more interesting stuff planned for the future!
Thanks again for your support,
TDL

I think if you just grow the plot without art assets, like flushing out the world or working on better mapping, then you can recoup art expenses over 3 months

Hearing how much those cost I might need that upgrade 🗿

appreciate all the effort you are putting in! It's okay to slow down a recuperate some income back. We love to see your game grow and you grow too
