I disagree that 'keeps funding flowing' actually benefits the game. The artist for a company that makes VNs (which are, like, 30-40% art) is making multiple high-res pictures a week and releasing them, rather than providing consistent updates on the games in development (which have grown in scope, probably in response to the increased funding). There actually IS a company I know of who's making games (or visual novels) who uses Patreon ( Alice in Dissonance), but their games are very short (yet are somewhat expensive) in addition, their next upcoming game seems to have slipped significantly from their original intended release date-and the scope on both that game and another upcoming game (which was actually part of one they already released, but they split it into two games) seems to have grown dramatically.Īdditionally, their patreon seems to mainly focus on releasing art images rather than actual game updates.Ĭlick to expand.See my example near the end of my (habitually over-long) post. But it is definitely an example of development with continual donations where the pace of the development seems to have slowed (at least the last year or so, things seem to have picked up again with Star Marine releasing, which I hope to try soon). I think it's the former, and I'm still looking forward to the game.

Either Roberts just doesn't know how to manage time (and sees fit to 'refactor' extensively), or they're deliberately stringing people along. The game has suffered significant scope creep, and they've consistently delayed each and every module that they've released. There was no Squadron 42, gameplay description was a lot sparser than what they have it as now, and the estimated delivery data was November 2014. Take a look at their Kickstarter for a quick example. Which shows a probably better more traditional route to take.Īnyway, I hope some of that helps in some tiny way at least.Ĭlick to expand.I don't agree at all (that SC is taking a long time simply because 'it takes that long to make games like that'). Which is about short dev cycles on games and an example. You may be interested in a new thread I just posted. Also programmers like myself who would like to learn some basics without taking some formal course, etc. People who want to model and don't have a clue. Because basically your target market would be newbies. The work I've seen makes you very qualified to do such a thing.

Basically he is just creating dev logs and letting the patreons read / watch those dev logs.Īlso, if you had the interest in such a thing, you could most likely do a series on ultra low poly 3D modeling for games and I think you'd find much more interest in that than you would support for any specific game idea you may have. Giving patreons an inside look at what he is actually doing while building the game(s).

He is letting people look behind the curtain so to speak. So, as you can see this is basically him getting $1,127 per month to make games but he is spinning it differently. One interesting case I've found is ThinMatrix who currently has 119 patreons generating $1,127 per month for game dev logs and videos of games he is making.

I've seen patreon accounts pulling in ~$5k per month simply for writing general game dev articles or for providing art tutorials or programming tutorials. Now, if you are interested in teaching game dev with tutorials things get a whole lot better. There are many other game devs there as well but other than the ones who already had a huge following elsewhere most of these people are receiving less than $100 per month.īut that is specifically for supporting people's development of their game(s). Rose Morgan currently has 19 patreons generating $256 per month for work on Hyaline which is described as a 'symbiotic survival game on an alien planet' Kitty Horrorshow currently has 166 patreons generating $822 per month for work on a Haunted Cities which appears to be an ultra low poly game of one kind or another. There are some people who are making a small amount of money from Patreon to support development of their game(s). Just letting you know I have investigated it when I started thinking about doing the Indie thing several months back (before I completely burnt out and left for a couple of months lol).

I don't use Patreon personally so feel free to disregard.
