(pretty sure I heard about indie devs who mortgaged their home to fund game dev),

iirc the team behind mechatranner sold their house to fund development

From an official update: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1649838104/copper-dreams/posts/2148757

Hannah and Joe sold a house and moved to get cash money for development and get back to Seattle, so there was a small delay.

Dear God, Mechajammer cost them 6+ years and a house.

A regular dayjob is looking better by the minute.

Shame tbh, one of the iterations with hexes, pixels and cool combat seemed promising.
Now we got this abomination

6 years and it was a complete disaster ,i think it has more to do with being out of touch with reality than being an indie dev. It took so long , went through so many iterations , style change and such it's impossible to be viable unless it was just an hobby and not caring for money. That was not the case obviously.
There's still room for indie devs who knows their limits.

I'll never get how kickstarters fund small team development for so long. €108,837/7 =15k per year, not counting Kickstarter's fees and taxes. Hopefully the launch is proving successful, or they got some Euro government fund.

At the very least, they didn't spend all the money on hookers and then ghosted. Putting a finished product out there is worthy of some respect.

Early Access funded the last six months of development though it appears to not have been as much as it needed. These RPG devs and their inability to properly manage scope. At least these guys managed better than Realms Beyond.

Indeed, it is "Beyond" my scope of expectations that it'll be released.

I shouldn't be "Stirring" the pot on game releases.

I think they actually had most of the content finished before even starting the EA. They accidentally left temporary files in the data folder(part 2 release) created by their editor tools suggesting most of the part 3 content was already finished.

Realms Beyond is no longer my friend
Black Geyser is my first black friend
Congratulations Devs! From meme to Hero

 

[Ontopoly]

is the title Black Geyser a metaphor for spilling diarrhea?

You ever heard of tub girl?

Stick to cyberpunk battle hooker RPGs and you'll be fine

Ah, but man can not live on hooker games forever. At least not this man.

Also true story: I left a near six-figure job to make a fraction of what I used to, with no benefits, more work hours and more stress.

I mean, I love it but it's still utterly .

Is this game as boring and fetch-questy as I've been lead to believe?

Let these more work hours not come at the expense of the Sabbath/שבת/Shabat from the 6th day evening to evening( a day began from darkness to light). A day of rest of no work, cooking, buying/selling or even great travel to any living under one's house/domain/influence. With the exception of good cause/deed for how else these in trouble/danger/harm be capable of rest.

It is the 4th commandment of Yahuha/יהוה/YHWH ruler/owner/maker of heaven and earth. One should consider it universal since even other animals have been found to follow/keep it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7JsygwssYU , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pqAqI9uohk .
To ignore it would/could be utterly foolish considering the evidence provided in this post's signature.

Use that day of rest to strengthen one self to be able to enjoy the more stress/work of other days.

It's dull, empty, the NPC's and party members have nothing interesting to say or any personality, the combat is shit, zero originality, but we are supposed to excuse all that cuz it isn't woke, low price, tiny developer, BG nostalgia, etc...none of which does you any good while playing this snoozefest....

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Ah hell noooo!

Greed factor eh. Swindler class? I wonder how much of the game is non-com ripping others off. Thieving and bartering and the sneaky underworld looks appealing. I'd definitely make a group exploring that route.

tbh, it looks look it might have several playthroughs to try. I wonder how many endings there are?

The 2 brothers behind Cuphead mortgaged their homes to fund development of the game.
