Bad news... and solution ?

Hi everyone !

I got a very bad news indeed : I can't continue working on KoPC like that...

1. The point. 

I mean we are the only ones who want and see this game as it is and could be : freaking limitless !!
Hentai sites don't see it that way at all, no one want to support it, financially.
Except mysexgames.com, but lately he just put a lead roof over KoPC blue sky, as he can't follow on the way I go, already very small in my opinion (I could do updates 3 times bigger, if only I had the financial support behind !)

Personnally, I just can't work like that, having to limit myself, where there's thousands of things left to do.
(maatyox just made me a dozen entire new sets sketches ! Yes, material for more than 12 new locations, people !!)
It's been 10 years I'm in that kind of job of creating personnal stuff and sharing them with people, and trying to make a little money and popularity out of it so I could continue offering my best to people.
It leads nowhere, for me, on this system of "work your ass off, and just hope it brings something more, in an hypothetical future where you would be recognized and sponsored"
Been there, done that, never got anything.

All it brings was 10 years of bad luck, depression (you have nooo idea what "personnal creation" and struggle to make it work take from you, psychologically), and so much poverty you wouldn't believe it.
Working my ass off, and then having to beg and beg again to survive from month to month ?
I'm sorry, I can't do that anymore, this system is just fucked up, it should work the other way around, considering how few new fun hentai games are released those days..

So, I will not go down that road again, it's almost physical.


2. The wish.

That said, everyone wish for stuff that cannot work.
Hentai sites, for example, all bet only on "make new games", it's all about "making new games", whatever you say, whatever you can do or not, whatever boring it is and whatever astonishingly better KoPC would be compared to a mini-game.

I CAN'T make new games and DON'T want to, but them people refuse to hear that.
It takes me YEARS each time, I'm not skilled enough to to new graphics and gameplay quickly !
I t would take me one year to make a new mini-game, with one or two fuck poses, one set and poor graphics.
It would take me one month to had 3 new poses, 5 new sets and improved graphics in KoPC.
So WHY the fuck people don't want to listen ?
But moreover : why do they all want me to stop KoPC ??
They're just completely frozen on their vision of limited hentai, they don't want to understand !
In KoPC fetishes can pile up, sets, stories, customizations, gameplay options like xray, futa, anal, pregnancy, foot/tit/blow jobs, gangbangs and so on ! Mini-games can't offer that !
We could also make alternative games INSIDE KoPC, with alternative intro screens and completely different gameplay. It's limitless !!!
But no, deaf deaf deaf, robots talk : "make new game, make new game".
Dead end...

So, financial alternative ?
You wish there was. But like I said, it's been 10 years I'm in that kind of work.
All you can think about, I already tried, and it didn't work at all.
Advertising, partnerships, premium stuff, freemium games, make myself hired somewhere : all dead ends.
The very few stuff that worked a little, it's just unreliable, at best.
How do you think I ended up having nervous breakdown after nervous breakdown ?
In all those options, you just offer pints of your best blood and hope, just hope.
You hope it will be enough, you hope it will convince, you hope you will have enough luck.
And of course, in the end, you just never know, one week after another, if your efforts will be worth it or not, and all your work crush down on a regular basis.
After 10 years of that, I just can't, those kind of system just paralized me.
It's NOT working for me, sorry people, I can't work in that atmosphere.

Of course, why don't do all that for free ?
After all, everyone started like that, and it's not so bad after all, just sharing good stuff for free, good karma.
Yeah... I think you didn't read anything I said : it's been 10 years I work like that. My years of "pleasure to give away" are long gone.
When everything starts to fall apart in your life, and everyone becomes angry mob or just stay put on "please do us another update, your games are great !", writing to you on their iphones and playing WoW and LoL with friends, while your family just starve under blanket because you don't have enough money to eat well and pay for heat in winter and bet on internet jobs to bring you a little something, you start to change a little, I'm sorry...
I don't judge or say anything about those who still have the energy and the will to do free stuff.
But in my case that masochist boat as long sail, I'm done with "hope" or "karma" as work system....


3. The solution ?

So, sad and bitter, yes, but there may be a solution (aside from unexpected miracles).
You will probably don't like that, but it could work.

What I need is to make at least 300$ per update, at least.
If that could be 300$ or more a month, it would be good for me, of course (let's say 500$ for perfection, lol ^^), but let's just focus on "update" more than "month".

What I propose is for YOU to finance those updates, by donations.
We gather money, and each time we reach 300$ or higher, I just start working on next update to release it as soon and as good as possible (villainous bug fixing includes, of course, not like today where we have to wait months before next updates include the fixes)

I bet my shiny ass you don't like that at all, but I'm sorry, I don't see another way for me to work with enough free-mind on all that, given how reluctant and limited hentai sites are to support this project and how unreliable and blurry the planning is, that way.
With this solution, at least we know where we go : everyone (me and you) can see how far we are from next update treshold, and by the time I start working on it I don't have to worry, feel I lose precious time or limit myself, and I can just unleash the beast and work my ass off in the right condition for it !

Of course, there would be stuff to discuss around that : like finding ways to improve transparency, showing or not the contributors, see if it's possible to cumulate your efforts and current sponsors ones to obtain gigantic updates, contributors wish list, etc...

But that way would be the only working way for all of us, to make this project grow as it should grow, instead of losing 90% of my energy just to struggle to earn the right to share pitiful updates. (at the current rate, I will be dead long before we see anything really good happening)
We reach a dead end, for something that just begin to grow and could multiply ten times.
It's the way out, to start getting serious on this great project.
What do you say ? Adventure times, or not ?

Your call ;)

EDIT : already donated by players for next update : 222$
Hentai saviors are rising, so much thx, people, we're almost their for first update goal with this new system !!!

Note : do not hesitate to mention it in donation comment, if you want to stay completely anonymous!
It's ok, I understand perfectly, I too am a "respectable person", IRL.
In those case, I will not even answer by e-mail, to avoid you the inconvenience of having to explain the provenance of the said e-mail, lol, but you have my warm thx anyway !

Note 2 : some contributors don't mind being named, some prefer to stay anonymous, so, in the end, I don't know...
I think I will not make a list for now, we'll see how it goes, and those who want to show their presence and voice their contributation can always add a blog comment, if needed!
(unless you people have some advices about that ? Is it better to mention the donations and list them somehow or not ?)
