Aaand I’m on here too. Only one piece, a very old commission I did, but still, how dare they steal my work that someone else bought rights to and commissioned me to draw, and sell it for five fucking dollars
Dear EVERYONE on this post.
WALLPART IS A SCAM.
It’s a phishing website. DO NOT FILL OUT ANYTHING ON THE SITE
FiM was announced like right when bronies were a thing; I used to follow it back in the day. 400,000 though for distribution (I assume, since the core game looks mostly done) is a lot. Considering too that everyone just assumed the project was vaporware for the longest time
It just seems a little excessive imo
“400,000 though for distribution” dude, I suggest you actually read the indiegogo page, and not make an assumption. there’s still a ton they have to do. here’s the whole “where’s the money going?” section.
Developing games costs money.
You might be asking, “Just where is my money going? Am I buying the developers a golden-plated life-sized ice-reindeer sculpture and a lifetime supply of booze?”, and the answer is: All of the money is going towards the development of the game, and is based on an 18 months dev cycle, from the moment the crowdfund money comes in and we can start paying people.
It will help to pay our staff to work on this game full time over 18 months (the planned dev cycle), as well as our friendly neighbourhood contractors in an as-needed basis during that same time, to license the tools and software that we need to develop the game (it’s not just the engine; In fact, the engine has already been licensed, courtesy of Mike Zaimont and LabZero), and to cover the costs of operating the company, such as taxes, legal checks, and the lawyers to perform those legal checks so that the game can release safely.
Here is a helpful pie chart to show you just how the funds will be allocated.
30.5% – Graphics and design This covers the budget for the people responsible for the bulk of the game production (90% of the art, and all of the animation, mechanics, scripting, UI, and also of character, world and combat design).
21.1% – Legal/administrative fees & taxes To cover the costs of trademarking stuff & legal checks, the taxes we’ll have to cover for developing the game and raising funds through IGG, the lawyer & the accountant to handle them and the costs of keeping Mane6 running (website hosting, domain names, mailing list, etc.)
13.4% – Programming This here is the programming budget. It covers our two programmers, as well as the licensing of anything they need to complete their work, including GGPO, which will power our netplay. Our two programmers are responsible for modifying the Z-Engine to better fit our needs, for handling the Geobox engine that’ll power the graphic lobby, and for the creation of the tools we use in our work pipeline.
13.1% – Audio This portion of the funds will go towards paying our music team to create all the tracks we need for the game, to our audio designer contractor, the voice talent for the characters, and the software libraries licensing for the dynamic music system.
11% – Crowdfund costs This is the cost of crowdfunding; Indiegogo & Paypal fees, and the production, shipping and handling of the pledge tier rewards.
9.2% – Quality Assurance and testing Exactly what it says on the tin. This will cover the hiring of our internal QA & testing team so we can be sure the game releases as balanced, and as bug free as possible.
1.7% – Miscellaneous costs This just covers the standardization across the board of the graphic tools required to work on the game, as well as the hiring of a contractor for background art concepts & engine implementation of the same.
Of course, should anything in this list end up costing less than expected, we’ll have a small cushion of funding which we’ll be able to redirect to add extra polish to the game, such as dedicating the time to create or polish more animations (unique taunts, match specific intros, etc.)
The funding for the game will come through the moment we reach our initial funding goal. The sooner we get the money, the sooner we can begin paying people, working on the game and showing you more things, so if you’d like to contribute to our campaign please do so as early as possible!
Yeah, I literally knew nothing about the campaign, but this is much better info and makes more sense
I will admit that I don’t really follow crowdfunded projects, so it’s something I’m not very well knowledgeable on
Thanks for the info tho
Hey, it’s cool. I was a little short in my response (long night at work)
But I do agree with you that they could have gone a bit lower, it’s a huge amount to ask for, but my guess is that they’d rather get the money they need for their expenses up front than have to rely on sales through stream early access or the like, as many other devs tend to.
This is really just a guess though
