That's the problem of focusing on different sites/works with a small team. I have extreme doubts about this vision of work. And I'm not into that 3D game at all. I thought the animations and images were actually weird, so I didn't play it. Well, it seems to have received positive feedback, so I'm happy the team got a good return on it.
But I'm skeptical about adding another site here. I already thought 2 sites were a lot (LOP and S&G), now add a 3rd one, and the games that I'm actually looking forward to will take even more time to be released.
Well, at least my favorite artist from the team (stoper) started developing his own game and I'm supporting him.
I hope you're well iksanabot! I wish you all the best and I'm also looking forward to your finished work.
Thanks Vkalvkal, I am well! Quite happy these days!
I realize that sometimes game progress is slow, and that it would be faster if the company were bigger, but there is just not enough money yet to make the company that much bigger. LOP does well, but there is not enough excess profit to hire more people, at this time. Also, S&G and LOP are different sites because they are actually different producers. Leo does not directly produce S&G games, as far as I know. He helps contract out artists to them, and play tests/tweaks those games, but the main producer is kind of like a former apprentice of Leonizer - they work together now sometimes, but have separate sites. At least, that's how I understand it, but there is an ocean between me and Leo's offices. And finally, RealLove3d is not a site, it's a separate, stand alone game that does not require a subscription - just a one time fee. This project was all about developing the technology, and you are right, the feedback was very positive. They will take what they learned from it, and make an even better-looking game next. So yeah, it's a bummer that they had to delay LWT2 expansion production, but in the end the time is probably worth it, as they develop technology to make even more immersive, better-looking, sexier games.
I hope I'm not coming across as adversarial, or aggressive. i don't mean to be. i always appreciate your comments Vkalvkal. My goal here was just to help you understand the way things are at S&G and LOP.
Best regards,
iks
