These are highly skilled people who could easily make more money doing standard software development. Game developers dont want to live like starving artists. I really dont think you appreciate the fleeting nature of 'success' as an indie dev and how quickly money goes, especially when you have more people to pay. Larian Studios did this for Divinity Original Sin and Divinity Original Sin 2, for instance. Many good games and studios have used Kickstarter multiple times to ensure they can work comfortably. This means you wont have to lay off people or shut down the project completely. However, if you can secure external funding, then you can work comfortably knowing you have a rainy day fund if you need it. Money burns quick and if you run out, you're fucked. It's very risky to fully fund a game with nothing but your own money. So, if you're considering purchasing My Time at Sandrock for the Nintendo Switch, beware of Pathea Games' history.ĮDIT: Sorry, It's been 2 years and 2 months since Switch launch. Now, they're hyping My Time at Sandrock, when they still haven't finished delivering on My Time at Portia promises from a Kickstarter that launched in 2017 and a Switch game that launched in 2018. In the time since not fixing/finishing My Time at Portia for the Nintendo Switch, Pathea Games has collected a half million dollars in a Kickstarter for My Time at Sandrock. I was never a kickstarter backer, but merely a normal Nintendo Switch purchaser of My Time at Portia. They received $146,697 from original backers. Rather, they chose to market their next thing - My Time at Sandrock - on the MTAP reddit.ītw, My Time at Portia started as a Kickstarter project back in September 2017. To reiterate, they did not post about progress with their 2 year + old My Time at Portia game still requiring updates on the MTAP redditt. Yet, simultaneously, they posted about My Time at Sandrock today. As of today, they still have not delivered those updates (or any update to that two month old post about upcoming updates). Mind you, this is 2 years and 2 months after initially launching on the Nintendo Switch. Two months ago, Pathea posted an update about upcoming bug fixes on their MTAP reddit. In April of 2019, Pathea Games released My Time at Portia on the Nintendo Switch.
