Some news stuff
🕑 Added 2019-10-08 18:42:13 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
Here're some news that we wanted to share with you guys.
First TL;DR version:
We don't have a pixel artist currently, but DB Guilty Raid demo will still come out for everyone (including the public) in the forseeable future.
Long version:
I try to keep this short but include all the relevant information.
Arsministrator (our former pixel artist) left us this weekend after I found out that he was breaching our agreement of him doing full time work ONLY for me.
He barely delivered any graphics the last couple months and when I talked to other developers about pixel artists they may recommend, so I can hire someone as backup, I found out that Ars was working for another developer all the time.
I talked to all parties involved, checked all my chatlogs, and made 100% sure that this was no misunderstanding.
The case is pretty clear, Ars lied to me about working only for me on multiple occassions. He was working for at least another (possibly more) developer(s) all the time.
Throughout the conversations we had a couple more issues in regards to his honesty come up.
And since the trust between him and me was pretty damaged, Ars expressed the wish to quit and we agreed that this is probably the best course of action.
Honesty and transparency are the most important things to me as most of you know.
So this work relationship wouldn't have worked out in the long run.
Furthermore, his inability to deliver graphics consistently causes a huge problem for me due to having to rely on him.
As our projects are a team effort and a single teammember holding us back basically holds back the entire project.
Him quitting the job presents us with some more challenges in regards to releasing the full version of DB Guilty Raid, as not all graphics had been finished at this point in time. However, the Demo version should be released in a timely manner due to all pixel art being done for this one.
I'm going to look for a new pixel artist of course.
But it's really hard to find a reliable and honest one that has a decent quality, is available for hire, and is willing to work on NSFW games.
That's all for now.
If any of you have questions in regards to this, please feel free to ask!
P.S: Deathblight Guilty Raid is only funded by myself (Wolfenstahl).
I understand that people are getting impatient, but so do I.
The main difference being that I'm the only one who has something at stake in here, as DB Guilty Raid is self-funded (by yours truly) and there are no pre-orders or anything open.
I'm having a lot of money in this one and I wish to get it done, but it's not so easy... unfortunately.
Without a pixel artist the Demo will come out, but the full version will be delayed until I found someone to do the job.
(and even if I find someone, it will most likely take several months to finish)

On the bright side you located the problem that was slowing the team down. In the long run this should speed up production for everything once you find a solid pixel artists. I wish you the best in finding a new one.
