Changes on VR-Amazons
🕑 Added 2017-02-07 03:34:54 +0000 UTC First of all, don't worry. VR-Amazons is planned as a 10 year project, and maybe longer. With the goal to get about 100 Amazons up. Nothing changed regarding this goal.But , time changes and I can just plan about half a year in the future. Today I had a meeting with my main customer (I'm self employed), and got 3 new tasks, that will fullfill me nearly completly fulltime for the next several month. So development of VR-Amazons will slowdown massive.
With VR Amazons I found a Hobby, that really makes fun for myself, and as I started this project, I had a lot of time. I'm now working about two years, partly fulltime on this , and even if noone would pledge for it, I would go on further. On the other side, If I could have a living with this project, it would be a dream. But therefor I nead at least 10 times more patrons. Maybe when VR equipment is payable for everyone it may come true.
Meanwhile other real life things happen, especially, for that I can pay my rent and food and healthcare ... etc. I have to care about my daytime job. And sitting in front of a screen more than 10 hours a day, .. I get concentration and eye problems ... I'm not a teenager any more.
So I must anounce, that development of VR-Amazons will slowdown until further notice, and currently I can't make any promise for the release after the next,
So I changed the pledge system, until further notice you can get always the latest release by pledging just 1 Buck. Also I must remove the $50;- pledge, because I can't fullfill extra wishes. But don't worrry again, current 50.- pledgers are on highest priority to get their wishes done.
And, as open I am. I like to give you some numbers. I have them because I am self employed and have to do accounting by law. Also I have a time recording system.
Until today I spent 3136,- Euro thats about 3370.- Dollar in this project by buying game engine tools and 3D props. This doesn't include any hardware like Oculus Rift or HTC Vive which I need for developing. Income by Patrons until today is $2949.-
Time spent on the project is about 1500 hours, not including the half year before, where I had to think about, how to get this all run. There are no tutorials and videos on the web, how to get muscles bulge while movement in a game engine,. You might not think, but VR-Amazons is the first. So I would really appreciate if you stay with me even in bader times. It's up t you, to lower your pledge to $1,- it will be the same as the $2,-

I'm not sure what you mean with external contributers. If you mean, external creators that deliver 3D Amazons for the game?, it makes no sense regarding development time. The opposite is the case. I developed a smooth worklflow how all works together, and external figures must be adjusted on both sides, the deliverer side and my side. I already tried it in 2 cases (one is the cooperation with Tigersan).

Have you thought about somehow opening the project to external contributors?
