@nprofile1q... Yep. Unfortunately. It effects which platforms are willing to federate with Baraag. So anything NFSW has to use the content warning feature. And you can't use it for you PFP or Banner. Doing this allows artists on this platform to show up on more instances.

@nprofile1q... Isn't it against the rules to have anything NSFW as you PFP? I think there was an announcement just made about this.

@nprofile1q... It's a good idea to boost your stuff. But please Tag stuff. I use the site's filter system to hide art tagged for Loli or Straight content. I also don't follow people who spam untagged loli content on here. Because I don't want my home page spammed with it.

Also. If you tag stuff correctly, it'll show up in searches for those tags on here. Getting it in front of more eyes.

Good luck~

@nprofile1q... *sighs* If you can't understand. Then this is pointless.

@nprofile1q... It's not counting the Labor cost those 3 devs put into it. A game dev gets over 100k a year for their job. 3 Devs in one year would be over 300k in Labor alone. They choose to donate that labor to their game. That doesn't mean that cost disappears, only that its not being counted. Let's say it takes 3 years to make a game with 3 devs. That's 900k in Labor already.

They donated their Labor. Are you saying that every Indie studio should have their Devs do the same to be counted as indie?

@nprofile1q... Those budgets are misleading. As the Devs likely went without any kind of pay at all. Meaning, possibly, millions of dollars in man hours not being accounted for in those prices. Or being paid after the fact with the money coming in from the games. Meaning that they just didn't count their dept in those figures.

Those two games, Helldivers 2 and expedition 33, also likely took more than just a few million to develop.

The Development of triple A games is counted in the 100s of Millions.

@nprofile1q... isn't the normal pay for a dev like 100k a year? A small team of devs by itself would easily cost over a million to make a game. All of the fees for the needed software. It adds up. Unless you can convince a team of people to make a game, for you, for free, putting in all that time. Your not getting away with a budget less than a few million. It costs indie devs over 100k just to make a proof of concept for a game. The only ones who could get away with smaller budgets would be solo devs.

@nprofile1q... Doesn't that depend on where the money came from, and if there are strings attached to it? Triple A games usually take something over 100 million to make. On the lower end. So some investor dumping a million or so on an indie as a bet on their game wouldn't be surprising. Of course, I have no idea what indie, or situation, your talking about.

@nprofile1q... "What do you mean? I don't have an addiction. It's just practice. I swear!" The drawing. Lol~
