The facts of life (and why I love making videogames) (Patreon)

With every indie project I start there's always that one guy.

That guy (or girl) loves the project to bits. He or she has maybe seen a pic somewhere, or a video, or has been to a convention I was talking at, or has met me and has prodded my brain with THE question. The only one that matters, the crucial one, THE question.

That question is a variation of "When the hell can I play the damn thing? I luv it!!"

Man, I wish I could tell you, I really do.  But I just don't know.    

Unless Kdot and I get more money from Patreon, (think about it, it'd have to be enough to pay a monthly part-time salary for both Kdot and I) there's just no way of setting fixed working hours for every week.

If we had even the meagrest salary (I can eat noodles for months! If I'm working in what I love, I don't give a fuck!) I'd be the happiest man on Earth.

I'd be drawing and painting tits and butts all day and all night while listening to music and podcasts till Judgement Day (preferably the Terminator one, when I'll become part of the resistance and the few men and women left have to get on with repopulating the Earth... ah, good times)

Instead we have to work shitty freelance jobs, in order to get enough money to eat, pay rent, buy toilet paper, condoms, lube, ropes, sex toys, lingerie... all that everyday stuff.            

And of course that means the time to work in the project changes every week, and no matter how much the project is dear to us, we sometimes just can't dedicate time to it.

That sucks. To that guy. To me. To Kdot.

But if the supporters keep the faith in us and keep challenging us with questions and suggestions, we get more and more people to fund our game, and we don't give up no matter what... then we can start working steady hours. Then we can add more and more stuff. Good stuff, with combats, animations, music and sound, even voices for the girls! (did I tell you guys I even spoke with a porn actress to do voices? I did!)

And one day the game will be finished. And holy fuck will it be something we can be proud of.

Keep rocking people,

Newman.
