Patreon - why we are asking for it.


Hey guys. So, as mentioned before, I really hate asking this. But I also want to explain why we are asking for donations.

Firstly, waddle and I spend time working on this. While it is a passion project, having money can help us out with not just this game, but our other games. From Desolate_System to Project: Crystom (TBA). There are lots of things we want to add that cost money, and with corona making getting a job hard, the most we can do is ask for your support.

Next, all the music is created using a program called FL Studios. This program is great and has everything we need, but costs quite abit of money. this program goes for around 100-900 USD.

After music, we of course have game engine. Currently we are using Unity, this comes in a free edition with limits or a paid "Pro" edition with more features, this costs around 150 USD per month.

All of this so far is a fair bit of money, but we still have more to go through.

Luckily we are using free software for sprite editing, but if we ever got more detailed software, that could be a fair bit of money too.

Computer problems cost money, I have a laptop that has almost died several times, but its fine.

Multiplayer servers when they come up costs money. depending on the number of players, this can be anywhere from 100-1k USD per month.

this all adds up to a lot. so if you can support us, please do. thanks again! if you have any questions at all, please comment down below.
