As I continue to work on HoloCure I get more people asking if I have a Patreon, a Ko-fi, as they want to support me. I don't have any of that, but I really appreciate it.

I want to talk a little bit about why I don't and hope people can understand me a bit better regarding this Drawing is my life's biggest hobby. Making this personal fan game is my second biggest hobby. I really enjoy doing both. It makes me truly happy to be able to let out my creative thoughts out through both, especially if it's for people that enjoy it. I truly love doing it.

Very important and informative thread about the anime industry.

I want to share my experiences having been in the industry for about 5 years now. I say this not as a rant or to complain, but purely sharing information from what I've experienced personally.

Regardless of how "big" the anime is, the pay hasn't really change all that much for me since 2018. The amount I've been paid from project to project has stayed roughly the same.

I did a lot of work in 2022 in the industry, I've made about $3000 total by December

Wanted to reflect on my experience so far creating and sharing my first game as an independent developer (HoloCure) to a larger community.

It's been an incredible experience, both as a learning moment but of course also the immense positive reception of the game so far. It's always been my dream to just be able to make something for people to enjoy and have fun with. That's how I got into game making in the first place since I was like 5(?) years old. One of the biggest things that drive me as a person is seeing people happy.
