merry chrismas! it might be small progress but hey, progress is still progress.
yo what are u planning on doing after u finish the game tho?? aside from a break ofc xd
Viewing post in A big chunk of progress in time for Christmas! comments
Cheers, sorry for my slow reply >.< Hope your Christmas was awesome and a late Happy New Year to you :3
Yeah, I'll take any progress over nothing cos at least it's going somewhere xD I should be able to get stuck in again once the house move is finally sorted and we're settled in there! With any luck it actually will be finished this year, haha.
To be honest, I probably won't even take a break when I finish SR xD Cos it already feels like I'm taking forced breaks all the time with having to stop working on it in order to try and make enough money to survive on >.< I reckon I'll get straight on to finishing Clarity in Qualia after SR but will probably make it shorter than I had initially planned because ideally I wanna work on other idea that I hope to release for a small amount rather than free. When I say small I'm talking like just £1 xD
I've got a whole bunch of ideas for stuff I wanna make but it'd be bad to try starting em all at the same time so I'll try and work on one project at a time. I doubt anyone would really wanna pay for stuff I make but the problem is that I can't make stuff for free forever cos I'm already struggling to make enough to eat as it is and while I'm working on projects it's taking away from time I could be using to make money >.< It sucks that life is like that! In an ideal world I'd just like to make stuff as a proper job, but without qualifications etc. no one would hire me :( On top of that, when people help me out with stuff like voice acting, I feel awful that I can't pay them for the awesome work they've done.
Because my art skills suck I've had to buy character generators and background packs just to make SR cos free resources only get you so far. I reckon I've spent well over £500 on resources to help me make SR and I'm getting nothing back for it whatsoever, haha. Don't feel as though I'd have the right to charge anyone for something I've made when I'm just a random unknown solo indie dev anyhow! xD
I know that crowd funding is a possible option to help make stuff, but I don't really use social media so I have no idea how I would even go about attempting to gather support from people >.<
Sorry for rambling anyhow! x3 I hope 2020 is off to a great start for ya ^-^
