Financial Report

Since the last report, which was made on 09/23/2023, we received four payouts, for a total of US$ 661.00, after fees.

I started working on the port to Godot in November, 2023. We knew that completing the port would take at least 6 months, that is a long period, and I wanted to make sure the team would remain motivated during the process. With that goal in mind, I talked with Akanymir(our main Artist, the one who made most of what you see in the game). The result was that I committed to sending him a monthly “salary” of $300(more like an allowance, considering how low it is), most of that amount came from my personal funds, I was using the payouts from SubscribeStar to help afford it. The outcome has been good so far, Akanymir has put in a lot of work since then, I’m honestly astonished at how much he made so far. Since the demo v2, just in terms of combat, he made 6 new enemies, all with their full set of unique skills, I posted screenshots on our discord. I fully intend on including all of them in the first Godot release, which means it will have 10 enemies (compared to the 4 on the demo), not to mention the 4 old enemies all have new lewd skills as well (I showed those on the previous progress report).

A Problem on the horizon

Akanymir lives in Ukraine, not only that, but he’s also unfortunate enough to live in a city(Sumy) that’s on the border with Russia. He’s not only the project’s artist, he’s also a dear friend of mine. Because of this, my first goal is to reach an income that allows him to move to a safer city with his family, my ultimate goal is to get him out of Ukraine, but that is not realistic at the moment. Moving to a safer city is realistic, and he estimates it would cost $1500/month. I live in Brazil, even high-paying jobs in my country don’t pay that much (our minimum wage is $260/month), so I applied for remote jobs in 1st world countries, both in game development and programming in general, but I didn’t manage to even get a single interview. To make matters worse, Freelancing hasn’t been doing well in the last few months, I’m struggling to even keep up with the $300/month I committed to. I considered publishers, and they weren’t keen in investing on a team that is threatened by the ongoing war. I can’t blame them, but it doesn’t change the fact that we still have a very big unsolved problem.
