Many hours are being put into the game now, and if we can help the team suitably, more work can be done! Many of us are still volunteering, but some must be compensated and paid for their commitment. We couldn't hire others (and fully pay them) until we were funded - or so we thought. This has been while we've had full-time jobs, attended university, or worked on other projects to support ourselves.
So, where might your money and the store income be going? Let's break it down that way you totally understand before you help us out.įor the years we have been working on THG, many of us have been volunteering. Our Patreon isn't our first rodeo - we have held two IndieGoGo campaigns, have been asking for contributions for years, and have a store! Many people need to be paid, hardware replaced if broken, fees, taxes, insurance, and other costs need to be covered. You probably have guessed that it is not cheap to create a game.
