JD @jdwolfpgh here! I’m hijacking The Hippies page for a moment here as I’ll have unrestricted space to write this and likely the best reach to all of you.
I’m recognizing the real sincere interest in my #IndieGameDev especially Booty Diver. My day job and it’s unpredictable scheduling doesn’t necessarily afford me a lot of time to dabble in much more things outside my family and the hippies. As a result my game development and even my music has suffered.
I see all of you and your interests in my games. I want to do more with it and bring my games to you guys but in order for me to do it right I would have to go full time with it. This would even allow me to get more in depth with Hippies content too.
Going full time though means ditching the day job which means I would need to find a way of making at least $400-500 minimum a WEEK to keep my household running as normal while I work on the game(s)
The question is how? Patreon? GoFundMe? Simple Cash App/Paypal/Venmo donations? What do you guys suggest? Would you guys be willing to support it. Maybe a model where I put out weekly demos to those of you who support it.
I kind of feel like if I’m going to do something this life altering of a move now would be the time because this looks like the most support I’ve ever seemed to have since I started @XavierOrionGame back in 2013/2014
Please guys I’m looking for serious legitimate feedback on this. You all apparently want it and I wanna do it there’s got to be a way to make it happen but I need a concrete plan.
Thanks You NerdsView quoted post on X
