Without support this project will die (and me with it)
🕑 Added 2023-06-06 06:33:08 +0000 UTCFirst thank you for those who seriously support the project.
This has allowed despite everything to create a lot of things.
However month after month the support decreases more and more. And it's getting harder and harder to do something and see a positive future.
I fought for a long time to do this job, those who have known me for a while know that I sold everything I owned to work alone full time on this project.
I started a company and moved to another country to be able to do it with as little funds as possible, but I'm at a point where I have about 300€ per month to live, pay rent, utilities, etc.
Doing such work with so little income is extremely difficult.
And again, it's because I've tried my best and moved to another country that I'm barely able to survive.
I can conceive of people being 'frustrated' at not having more regular updates, but I have always shown all the progress I make, whether on the discord server, on my site's blog, and all the videos of my animations that I post everywhere.
I'm always actively working on this project.
People also have to think about what they could do with so little money, I don't think many would bother to do so much work for so little.
Despite a very large number of views, unfortunately it does not bring many people, rather the opposite the more I post and the more people I lose..
So this post is a last call for help, with what funds I have left, I'm going to struggle to survive until September.
I'm a company, so I only get dividend money every quarter.
Currently for this second quarter I will have about 800€ to live on until September, I let you do the count, divide by 3 and find out my monthly salary, I have nothing else.
I have even some health concern and I'm not even able to pay for doctor and medecine. It's also not with what I get that I'm able to pay even a little health insurance..
I offer commission work, really not expensive for the work I can offer, but again, excepted an old patron who help me since long time who ask me one, nobody else ask me something...
Some will tell me look for another job, yes of course, but as I said, I moved to another country and still far from speaking the language so that makes things even more difficult, and also take into account that if I have to do another job I would have much less time to work on this project, what I do in a month could take 6 months or even a year, so if people are already frustrated now I leave it to you to imagine.
I was optimistic to see more people also by showing the work outside, showing videos etc, as people can see the work progress and wishing to contribute.
But many people are also delusional, expecting that a single dev doing everything can make 1 year of work of a team every month..
I'm not running after gigantic funds, If I could get around $1000 (gross) per month, I can tell you that I wouldn't have much stress to do this job and that this project is saved.
Let's be honest it's not an extremely large amount. This will not allow me either to be able to make significant investments or to hire people, but I would not have the current stress and could work with lot more serenity.
So I'm still making this call for help, if you have an interest in what I'm doing, that you want to see it continue and that I don't end up homeless.. I need your support to continue this project, it doesn't only depend on me, but also on people who want to see it evolve and continue.
I know that there is about 300 people who follow this project on patreon, and even more outside, if just about 100 people was supporting this project even with just 5$, things could be really better, give me hope and courage to keep going and make something good.
Currently I'm finishing the commissioned work, then continue to work on the project, will do my best as to have a release this month.
It will be far to be finished game, well If I can continue I still have for long years of work.
But if after this release I do not see more people come and even worst that I lose even more people, sadly I will have to stop.
I really would like to continue this project, as I said, I have sell everything I had, make a company for it even moved in another country to do it with the less funds possible, but bellow a vital minimum it could be impossible to do.
It does not only depend on me, but on you, the people who make it possible to do this work.
Thank you for reading and many thanks to everyone who helps.
