Personal post: Full time development and the future🕹
🕑 Added 2019-04-21 00:09:30 +0000 UTCHeyho, you funky sexy gamer!
I hope I find you in good spirits and that you're enjoying your weekend.
It's me, Dez, here with a personal post about something that's quite important to me and that I'd like to share with you today.
Not everything in this post will be 100% definitive, but I'd like to let you know about the direction of my recent thoughts and what I'd like to do next.
Let's go :)
As you already might know, both Oni's and my long-term goal (and dream) is to be able to develop sexy games for you full time.
No distractions, no diversions - only focusing on delivering bigger, better and lewder content for you wonderful charmer :)
Right now, we both still have to do rl jobs on the side to keep the bills paid, however.
The silver stripe on the horizon is that this very Patreon you're a part of is growing in a way that will hopefully enable one of us to achieve that dream in the near future.
If we want our games to prosper in the right direction and with the current workload on the new engine, the only way for it to make sense is for Oni to go full-time first.
We've talked about the future quite often recently, and we're certain of two things:
One, we're probably quite a long way from achieving the full-time goal for both of us.
Two, it would be best for both of us working in gamedev (as opposed to kinda being divided up mentally between gamedev and other non-gamedev stuff).
Obviously, these two things don't go together easily, if at all.
Unless...
Well, here's the kicker. I'd like to go full-time gamedev in the near future as well.
🤔 But waaaaait, Dez, how would that be possible?
It's unfortunately obvious that I can't work on the Team Tailnut games exclusively, or we'd sail straight into financial woes very quickly.
My solution for this is simple and straightforward:
Instead of working on distracting rl jobs more than half the day, I work on my own little sexy arcade games instead.
😮 Your own sexy arcade games?
Exactly! I'd save the time I need for the aquisition of new jobs, the every-day traveling time and the communication time with clients... And I would be able to use this time to put my gamedesign and sexy artmaking skills to good use :)
This way, I'd have more time to work on Pigglet & Co as well, which I'd love to do very very much. 🐷
🤔 And what about the financial side?
I've turned this over in my mind for a while now, and... There's really only one solution that's quick to set up and that I have the necessary experience with, and that is - you might have guessed it already - to open up a personal Patreon for my little arcade games.
😮 Wait, another Patreon? Do I have to pledge twice to play all your games?
NO! No no no no. You do so much for us already - no way you're pledging twice, man ❤️
As long as you're one of our Love Ninja Patrons, everytime I release one of my personal arcade games, you'll get its Patreon version + all other benefits mailed to you, on the day of the release, free of charge. Let's just say it's included in your ❤️ SEXtended ❤️ package 😁
See, I don't need the 'Dezue Patreon' to be over-the-top-super-high or something.
My biggest goal is to make games for you all the time. I just need a modest amount, enough to make ends meet for full-time gamedev and to get rid of distracting stuff that keeps me from achieving that goal.
...
If you're still reading this, thank you very much for that alone :)
I know my thought process might sound a bit complicated, but I really believe this is the right way to go forward in a way that gains you something (more time spent on our games plus additional games) and gains us something as well (finally making games full-time).
The times where we took time off to work exclusively on our games was just the best, man. I want to have that all the time :D
Thanks again for listening to me. It was very important for me to let you know about this.
Pardon that FAQ-style format, it was easier for me to write this way.
If you have any advice for me or anything, please let me know in the comments, mate.
Always stay funky!
Yours, Dez

Aww man, thanks a hundred times. It means a lot to me to read this. I'll make sure to update you on it BUT I'll send you the games anyway, no matter what you do ;) ❤️ Stay funky, my man.

I'll double dip on the Tailnut train for sure ;) Let me know what the personal Patreon link is and I'll pledge there too

Thanks a metric ton, Hawk. This really means a lot to me, I can't even express how much. Glad we can go this way together :) And I mean it, I'm going to send you the games no matter what :D ❤️ Stay funky, my man.
