Appreciate the Support:
Firstly, I'm extremely grateful for all the support and attention the mod is getting the past year or so, it really keeps me and the team motivated to stay focused and keep working on the game all we can. Who knew a shitty mod we pulled out our asses 2 years back that lasted no longer than 4 days would be adored and enjoyed by so many.
As you may know, we are a very small team, with me being the only one running the heavy stuff such as the coding, the animation, art, socials, merch and some small tid-bits of other stuff to help the game even take it's first steps. Reloaded was a small project turned massive with a lot of ambition put behind it. It's been a lot of fun for us making this stuff, it's how i met my current friends and had lovely experiences. It's been a rollercoaster ride for all of us to say the least.
However, with all the stuff we promised to bring to the table, it's really a lot of work because we don't want to bring complete trash to the function. So quality, stupid, and funny stuff are our top priorities when it comes to making Reloaded. As a result, it's been taking a huge toll on mainly myself since I'm the one running the entire thing. I really want to make this passion project to the next level and share it out with the world but it's been getting very hard to do so as of late.
The Issue:
Earlier on, I got a job for a year because working on this mod was not paying the bills at all. In short, it took a huge toll on me, trying to juggle life and the game but in the end, I was comfortable financially but at the cost of slowing down development. Why did I leave? Personal reasons pushed me to leave that i won't discuss. I figured it was a good thing and decided to take my chances at working on the game full time, which is proving to be a bit of huge gamble as it's hard to keep up with life and working on this.
I figured working on commissions would be susceptible enough for me to get by but it's really unpredictable and proving to be more of a gamble than a good source of income to keep me going on working on the game. Which as you know, isn't a good thing lol. I'm often left clueless on what to do anymore to keep it going.
I can't create a Kickstarter for this shit because it's not my property, that's awful to profit off of something the Funkin' Crew made and I respect them. Creating a Patreon? I'm not sure what I can even post on there to make it worthwhile; updates on the game? NSFW art? Donations? Sure a big maybe. I'm not sure lmao. But it's looking like I might have to go back out there and search for a stable income because living the way I am currently IS NOT IT. If it has to become that way, then so be it. You might get the game, you might not, lol. I hate to say that but that's life for ya. It's uncertain. I do wanna become a game developer someday but it's looking like it's not my time at the moment.
anywho, thanks for reading all the shits I posted here. Just a heads up and an update on how things are in the background for things.
