Yeazs, I can't wait. To try to win a kool

Why do you need money to make this 'game' anyway?

Ever heard of a phrase time is money?

That doesn't answer my question.

Ok... come paint my fence for free. Hell you don't need money to do that do you?

No need to be a douche, I was just asking a question thank you very much.

He simply put it, into simpler terms. Sir.

Pardon?

Sorry didn't want to sound like a douche, but now you get do you not? :)

I think you're being quite the douche here

Oh Hai Doggy.

Let's see if I can break it down for you. The production, art, programming, debugging, and just about everything else is being done by one person. Crow. It all requires such a vast amount of time that if he were to have a normal job, he wouldn't be able to work on the game in a capacity to get much of any done. The donations and paid subscriptions go to paying the bills so that he can continue to produce the game that a great many users are already enjoying. Add in that he's also working on a couple of other projects that are more 'game' like, and you can see that he's extremely busy.

By no means do you ever have to contribute, but know that if you do, it's going to help someone who is working their butt off for a project they love.

This man! Thanks for posting this.

Happy to do so. It also looks like I got the ball rolling for some good conversation as well.

Hopefully I'll be able to kick back and watch your entire stream sometime. (HughesNet is still ticking me off.)

Thank you for answering kindly instead of throwing an insult at me.

So basically, making this game is his full-time job now?


Never thought he'd do something like that, in that case I can accept this 'Gold Account' business.

This has been my full time job for almost 2 years now. It's only been recently that I've been able to expand in an attempt to keep the free content available, and expanding.

Subscription content will also be a way to improve the game by improving our servers to reduce load times, acquire new code, programs, equipment, and so much more.

I thank you for clarifying that up for me, if you hadn't, I would've kept thinking you were a money whore.


So to speak.

Does it really take so much effort into HTH? I don't understand how animating works or anything of the likes mind you.

I can explain my entire process to you. Although, please understand that this is still abridged and depending on what I'm working on, the process and the steps can vary. But here is what I do:

Areas and zones have to be planned out, usually as sketches or very rough 3D meshes. Structures are then added in Lightwave, which also requires a tremendous amount of planning, not only for character placement, but for puzzles, lighting, character interaction with the environment, camera motion, reflection, shadow, and interactivity. Not to mention however many items must be independently coded into a scene. Depending on the complexity of a zone or area, this can be weeks, or sometimes months of work. This is all before a single girl or NPC has set foot in the area.

Now take into consideration to simply add in a character's avatar and to do it well, you must have the following: Standing, Seated, Reclining, Ambient, and additional avatars for each character including rotations Front, back, and sides as well as multiple outfits, lighting schemes, makeup, jewelry, and accessories. As if that's not crazy enough, some characters have seasonal coats. Hair, body motion, dialogue, and interaction with the entire world as a whole also requires separate code.

Only now can the animations for the sex scenes be completed, and many times these can be the easiest part, although each of the sex scenes or interactions in general, including chat, must be independently programmed due to the unique nature of each characters, sexual technique, and preference. Area, environment, intensity, and mood of the character must also be coded into these scenes.

The final phase is an additional 20 -150 lines of code to link these files together, or at this phase, at least have it so that everything is matched and functioning. This is to prevent things like hairstyles randomly changing, from happening.

Also please understand -- and I would like to stress this: This is the entire process in brief. At times a single creative decision can add unexpected layers of complexity, or new challenges from the code. It is a very long and intense process. I'm also the only person doing it. I have no one to allocate this to, so I'm the only person who can fix things when something goes wrong, and the only person who keeps new content coming in.

You were curious and didn't know the scope of just how hard he's working. It's something of an epic undertaking, especially for the quality that he wants for the entire thing. It wouldn't have been right to insult you for that when all you wanted was for someone to tell you what was going on.

I personally can't wait for when he gets Structure 1 playable. Sci-fi exploration, space battles, and more... with hot alien sex.

And Tanya..

I honestly had no idea he was all alone working on it.
Since he has "Studios" in the name, I thought more people were involved.

Because this is Crow's full time job now.

I'm in on this, and I have a new Chatango account made now.

Will this be a one time thing?

No, it won't be one time only. We'll offer it randomly, so it won't be every stream, but we do want to give people who might not be able to afford it a chance to see the gold content and win a prize.

Okay then. So maybe some other time I could try my luck. Thank you for doing this though.

Good luck with all of your endeavors.

A live-stream tonight, and a chance to get a free week of gold-membership... I'll be there for sure.

Wish I could do this, but I need to get my life settled more, I should be able to alpha test though more often for you crow. Once my life is on track once again I will be watching streams like i use to and maybe my company might be off the ground itself. ^^

The Gold Content we only get by using click and buy or is there a different way?
