Sekai Project has had at least 2 staff members quit or be fired in the last few days. The CEO said he's existing the market in an outburst on twitter. What's going on?
Henry Gonzalez
>wanting to stop it
Leo Ross
>existing the market What does this mean?
Brayden Hall
I would rather those girls accept dick.
Jeremiah Miller
Make yaoi the new meme.
Dominic Richardson
*exiting the market
He also said he never wanted to get into the vn market to begin with.
Dominic King
...
Zachary Wilson
He can't wait to exit the market was what was said. If you've ever worked with the Japanese, you'd learn that they take this sort of thing very harshly. Seriously serious business people, the Japanese. Those outbursts probably screwed him over hard.
It is a saying to let people know that you are sad something bad happened to them. In that context you are not personally apologizing or insinuating that you were at fault.
Brandon Young
>all those projects >none are complete 10/10
Nathan Baker
"I'm sorry" is meant to be a more personal "that sucks."
Robert Edwards
Maybe I'm crazy, but some people actually have empathy and would prefer if things went right for other people. Not that they would cry if not, but hey.
Grayson Nelson
Are you glad you didn't donate to her kickstarter?
Cameron Lopez
I apologize
Jack Walker
You apologize and admit you feigned sympathy?
Juan Wright
I'm mad it even succeeded in the first place.
Julian Stewart
Seconding user who says "I'm sorry" = "that sucks".
I've been called out on this a lot myself
Them: Something shitty happened to me Me: Oh no! I'm so sorry! Them: ...Why? It's not your fault?
I think it's a holdover from my childhood when bad things happened to parents/teachers and they made sure I felt sorry whether I wanted to or not
Aiden Cruz
Maybe it'll get finished this time. Is her track record the main reason you're ticked off? I tried to warn /u/, but nobody replied to my post, so I'm guessing they didn't listen.
Owen Hill
How lonely do you have to be to go on twitter and spill your shit like that to everyone?
If you literally have no friends to vent to, you can just come on /v/ or some shit and start spewing all the garbage you want about your company and your broken goals. Noone will take user seriously, and you don't get your dumb ass in trouble looking like you have no impulse control.
Blake Russell
That's retarded. It's just another way people use the word sorry. It's a courtesy, and can display a lot more sincerity than "Wow, that sucks". Blame then for not understanding the English language.
Jeremiah Long
This. It works and it's also pretty fun to derail a evn thread into a shit flinging mess just because you are having a bad day.
Levi Hall
Who will give HRP undeserved press now that its publisher is burning all its bridges in the community?
Jackson Peterson
Burn the bridges with fyre.
Jason Reed
Actually, I have their demo sitting right here. Should I give it a go?
Joseph Rivera
Don't worry, they've always got their pot of retards who signed away 30% of their revenue for them to tap into to use as marketing bait.
Samuel Smith
You want to see some shitty weeb writing and inconsistent art? Go for it bud.
Lucas Peterson
It was boring and badly paced but go ahead. They said they were working on improving its pacing for the final release though.
David Price
It's not as bad as people will have you believe, but it has some pacing issues.
Adam Jones
If you wanted to see what their "higher standard" VN looked like, go ahead.
Jackson Brooks
hi chris
Daniel Carter
hi JP
Caleb Diaz
hi Tao
Christian Hernandez
Shut up Mao
Luke Anderson
Why were people mad about Deji's kickstarter for Caramel Mokaccino? The goal seemed a bit high and I'm a bit worried about feature creep from the stretch goals, but hopefully the game will come out at some point. Deji is know for being pretty slow though, so it probably won't come out on schedule.
Zachary Smith
No. Who is this Mao you talk about?
Brandon Adams
because she was charging commission rates for her own project
Lincoln Jenkins
>he doesn't know who Mao is look at this newfag and laugh
Ryan Lewis
Because she was pretty vocal HOW MUCH she just WANTED to add more things to the game but she couldn't because of the money - when realistically speaking, if she wanted them so badly, she could have just lowered her own pay. In fact, she ended up doing just that for the last stretch goal.
Dylan Wood
A girl's gotta eat steak at an expensive restaurant.
Nicholas Martinez
Because the game has been in development for years with no progress and they were adding extra features like it was going out of style.
Aaron Adams
I'm sure over $27,000 USD can only mean good things for the project and the free yuri vn they offered along with it.
David Brooks
Surely the game will be the goty in 2050, when it finally comes out.
Wyatt Rivera
How to become a caring member of LSF?
Christian King
Tell people they should reach for the stars even if it's unrealistic, tell them they're being unrealistic, tell them they're not offering people enough pay, and try to get them to start by working for exposure.
Jace Scott
Share your knowledge.
Oliver Myers
So guys, what steps should I take to make a contract with my artist (who's already on board)?
Austin Williams
Make a "Flake-Out Clause"
Leo Gutierrez
you get them to sign a contact forbidding them from working with anyone else, a la winged cloud/alienworks.
Sebastian Nguyen
Explain.
Juan Cook
In case of personal problems that would require a long time off, or is would render you completely unproductive, please notify me right away.
Wyatt Harris
If they leave, you still have the right to use what art they already created. You still have to pay them for what they completed though.
Levi Hernandez
Ah got it, to prevent any mishaps like that Fetish farm game.
Jaxson Jones
This is what I made my artist agree to:
- Excellent communication I understand considering the timezone differences responses will be delayed, but whilst working on a commission I expect consistent updates from you, and that if something happens that will affect your ability to respond in a timely manner, you will inform me of this in advance as soon as you can.
- Commitment This project will be a lengthy process and it involves a lot of work. You must be willing to be in this for the long haul, and not suddenly drop the project if things get hard. You must have dedication to your work, and want to finish the job I'm hiring you for.
- Able to meet deadlines You currently have -insert deadline here-. There will be no flexibility in this date. I must have the final artwork by then, otherwise it will delay the release of the entire project.
- A good attitude As we will be working together for an extended period, it is important that as well as being able to deliver artwork on time you are able to maintain a good business relationship. There will be times when edits and changes to pieces will need to be made, and I expect such occurences to be handled in a professional manner.
Jaxson Robinson
Piggybacking off all this. Any good attorneys you guys recommend to take a look at this?
Jaxson Nguyen
I'm just a third-worlder so I can't recommend any.
Chase Long
Why the fuck do you always have to point out being a third worlder?
Charles Ortiz
Notify potential differences in culture, education and lifestyle?
Ian Reyes
What does any of that fucking matter? You just have to shoehorn 3rd worlder every single time as if anyone cares. It's gotten to a point that I can take a pretty good guess of who you are because of your obnoxiousness.
Ryder Gutierrez
Go ahead lol.
Nolan Hill
the only thing you can do is set the terms for ownership of the pieces being transferred to you after payment. you can't force them to work only for you or finish work.
Henry Jackson
He is actually a rich western guy who dreams of the exotic third world lifestyle.
It's by a dev who didn't finish his first Kickstarted project as I recall.
Jacob Campbell
They did release a part of Driftwood though, so there's that.
This new project seems like it has a lot of progress put into it already though. But eh, I wouldn't hold my breath, it might turn out like Driftwood after all. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Jaxson Cox
>Putting down an unpopular thing >This is probably the first time that yuri fans get something in a long while Give us a break broham.
Grayson Bailey
Too ambitious to pull it off. Bad history with the main dev. The only good thing about it are the backgrounds. I love it. So tired of halfassed 3D bg. I don't mind 3D just as long as it blends well with the sprites. Which happens almost never.
Ian Ramirez
Yeah the backgrounds are absolutely stunning. I assume it is Daodao's. I wonder just how much experience this guy has, he's apparently worked on a studio (though not sure if anime or whatever)
I'd say the character art is swell as well. Definitely eye-catching.
Owen Martinez
The game looks okay, but >$45,000 How delusional is he?
Elijah James
Tea or coffee?
Xavier Adams
coffee
Easton Price
Coffee. Tried tea before but I never tasted good to me.
Leo Anderson
Sheepstorm here, what's up?
Daniel Nelson
>ML user >AA user >loli dogfucker user I'm way late, but I guess I deserve this. I'm just disappointed that you didn't prefix it with incestuous
Thanks /hgg/ bro. Single, do everything ourselves masochist devs gotta stick together. I look forward to hearing more about your project when you're ready to reveal it.
