I am pretty sure there are other ways of supporting RG than either Patreon or Steam. Itch is an example.

[hhyyrylainen]

It has not, if anything it has gone down by 10€ compared to the previous month.

@aah31415

Itch is an example.

That’s a very good example. People who have purchased on Steam but want to support us more could also buy Thrive on itch.io and even leave a tip.

but that also is limited , 2 time thing is not sustainable but a general thinking is probably accapetable like if each player pay 2$ and we need hhyyrylainen to work for 5 years then 5*80000$ =400000$ in total then we need 200000 player in total to purchase the game and this not taking into account any form of other expenses , so the question that will determine how much players we will need is how much time thrive still need to complete its development?

@handy

and we need hhyyrylainen to work for 5 years

Pretty sure much more time is needed to finish Thrive.

@handy

how much time thrive still need to complete its development?

I’d say 15-20 years.

[handy (youssef)]

then this simply insustainable , we need other ways of income . but I think 5-10 years is a good number since the game development will accelerate with more developers joining since our outreach will expand as the game grow

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

By the time we reach aware development we should be able to sustain atleast 1 fulltime dev for the time being.

[handy (youssef)]

well let’s pray that we can sustain 1 fulltime dev before that

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

For now that is the case somewhat… But more money inflow is needed to sustain the pay.

Welp, that’s an another PU poster.
I suppose hydrogenosome will be one of the mainmost/trailer 0.8.3 features, correct?

[HyperbolicHadron]

I think it will be, hopefully provides an interesting option for late game.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

What worlds would be so depraved of oxygen one would instead go for hydrogenosomes only though…?

Does this really belong in the “gameplay” section?

[HyperbolicHadron]

It could be argued to fit better in another section, but it is still focused on discussing balancing of the gameplay here.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Wouldn’t it better belong in the Theory section?

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Is it really this necessary to mention Hhyyrylainen’s vacation on each PU during it?

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

It looks like 0.8.3.0 will be end up being a big update!

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Surprising considering the momentary absence of Hhyyrylainen…
