Yeah, that is pretty bad. If we say Steam takes their cut, then taxes, then whatever development costs you might have, and if you have to split with a team and then publisher sweeps half or more, then at the end it looks pretty slim sadly

I've heard that a standard practice is to take about 90% of all revenue initially until the investments are returned and then it becomes something like 70/30, favouring the dev but that is still dire I think. That's what I have heard from people, I would imagine every publisher operates differently

I think that is the plan, to keep writing up my progress in text and share it and when I have enough, to create a video and showcase more tangible progress.

Thanks for the input, it’s really useful 😊

I just hope something positive comes out of it. If they want people to shift their negative sentiment, they just need to acknowledge that none of the models work without human data and start supporting the people who make it happen. But yeah, would be difficult to monitor and enforce.

I think the only way for AI to redeem itself is to have companies pay royalties to the artists they stole the art from to train their models. I am more annoyed that nobody is taking responsibility while continuously ripping off creators, I mean this is their livelihood. Something needs to change.

No worries, thank you for reminding me too, knowing the “why” at each stage is very important and so easy to forget 😊

I come from a tradition software engineering and the same questions, in the context of product development, are very much asked every day to make sure the efforts stay on track and working towards the right thing. Can definitely see how a similar thing can be true for other mediums.

Twisted Metal
Resident Evil 1
Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition
Dishonored 1 and 2
Uncharted Series
Dead Island 2

I think these games are the best when it comes to design and should definitely be studied further

Absolutely love the colours here, this is amazing. Merry Christmas!

Last month everyone at home were sick. This month it’s just me who has a cold that just doesn’t go away, kinda have to accept this now being in my 30s! 😩

Haha, exactly! That crab got some anime aura, love it!

Little guy can’t catch a break

I felt the same for a long time, learning to trust yourself that you can do something unique and not feel intimidated by other releases takes time, at least for some of us :)

We often say in my team that we just fail our way to production and I quite like that. Early logic will explode here and there and that’s fine. I often tell more junior people to just accept this as a fact instead of trying to make things perfect from the get go, it won’t happen 🥸
