Hey thanks Zerox!

Doot 🪲☀️ Kabuto Park OUT NOW 🪷🐝 @dodoot.bsky.social · 8h

Yes we could but we are not sure that's what we want!

Of course it will be much smoother in the final game, I'm just showing of a prototype for a technical solution to this problem!

So I haven't encountered any issue actually, the thing is that it was still a lot of steps for each game: installing the patched unity version, 1h of testing to see if it broke anything, rebuilding the game for all platforms and all stores, uploading to steam and itch, posting about the update...

Transitioning between environments with lots of parallax planes is a real challenge, but I think I'm getting close to designing a solution that will work for us 🪄

I've now patched the Unity vulnerability for all of my games on both Steam and Itch! This took me more time than expected, I really hope it doesn't add any new bug. If you spot some, please tell me 💌

Froggy's Battle is now available on Mac 🍎🐸🛹

Why am I doing this now? I had to change the unity version of the game to patch a vulnerability that was discovered recently on Unity, so I figured "hey why not do this too?". Idk I just hope it makes some people happy!

Yes but no! You forget that Steam doesn't account for refund and country VAT in gross, so they remove those from the gross value before taking their 30%! If you have a gross 100k, you receive something around 60k from Steam if you have and sell mostly in countries with no VAT like the US.

CARIMARA: BENEATH THE FORLORN LIMBS IS OUT NOW ON STEAM

I block the calendar after I shift! Before that I have a tentative calendar that I never really follow perfectly.

Doot 🪲☀️ Kabuto Park OUT NOW 🪷🐝 @dodoot.bsky.social · 5d

I'm splitting! On solo games I'd say the average is you get 45% of the gross Steam revenue

Doot 🪲☀️ Kabuto Park OUT NOW 🪷🐝 @dodoot.bsky.social · 5d

btw here is the color code:
Orange - Social media or marketing
Purple - Stuff like mails or admin or project management
Pink - Work with other people (here it's mostly design discussions with Blibloop)
Blue - Dev
Yellow - Art

Si tu veux plus de détails sur comment on se paie ou les différentes cotisations et impôts hésite pas à m'envoyer un dm !

Doot 🪲☀️ Kabuto Park OUT NOW 🪷🐝 @dodoot.bsky.social · 5d

Mmmh c'est malheureusement un peu compliqué vu que le net sont des estimations à partir de revenus passés et que ça fluctue beaucoup, mais comme la majorité de mes revenus passe par le statut artiste auteur, tu peux estimer le brut en rajoutant un bon 25% au chiffre final je dirais ?

And here is the current week. As you can see I'm slowly coming back to full time work, and we started working on our new game with Blibloop but only 2 days per week for now! We'll dive full time on it in one more week 🚲🐄
