Hymn to the Earless God

author=Housekeeping
Oh, and Kickstarter's metrics said that 5 backers were referred from the link here!

I just want to point out that I backed this before the game page on RMN was even up. I promise you that more than 5 people from this site came out to support you and this project.

Hymn to the Earless God

Congratulations on the Kickstarter funding! Good luck with the rest of development!

Commercial? Free? Other? IDK YET

Going into commercial game dev hoping for a "hit" will only lead to disappointment. Earning a respectable income won't come from one or two games.

That said, have you considered Patreon or Ko-fi? That could be a way to earn money while still releasing the game the way you want to. It probably/definitely won't be much, but maybe it's a middle ground between extra income and more players?

if rpg maker 2k is so good, where's the sequel

It was so good it skipped 2k2 and went straight to 2k3!

Another day where I wish I'd picked a different name

cut to 10 years into the future where unity will charge you 2 cents for each of her posts you read

PSA: DO NOT Use Unity (Or RM Unite)

It literally doesn't matter how few devs are actually impacted by this. Charging for installs is greedy no matter how few people have to actually pay. That'd be like saying "I only ate 1 baby, it's not like I'm a serial baby eater." God forbid you lose your device/have it stolen/broken and now have to punish the devs for the heinous crime of wanting to keep playing their games.

It also means that distribution sites like Steam will be hesitant to allow more Unity-developed games on their platforms, since they'll be on the hook for the fee. Or maybe not. Their "clarification" follow up post didn't clarify much of anything.

There is also the breach of trust that comes with this move. Unity has now set the precedent that they can change their monetization strategy at any point to incur fees for the dumbest reasons with pathetically short notice. Studios that have been developing their games in Unity for years are now rightfully worried about what else Unity is willing to do to dick them over.

My bet is that they'll backpedal this policy to something that would still be egregious had they opened with it, but the "door in the face" effect this will have will cause more people to begrudgingly accept it because it's "not as bad as before." This is not the first time Unity has made a greedy monetization change, and it won't be the last.

Novel Meets Game

Mechanics are there to improve the experience, and if you think they hinder the experience, removing them is something to be celebrated, not nervous about.

Good luck with development!

Epilogue Adventures

Interesting premise. Subbed.
