You miiiight want to check the dates on those. He posted that he didn't want to work with people after being screwed over by them... 8 months ago.
8 months ago, I had zero desire or want to do ANYTHING in the hentai industry.
8 months later, I've got a contact list on skype that's more hentai industry people than non-hentai people, I'm working on four games at once, and a hentai comic on top of it.
People change.
Also, Cheshire's story is far from unbelievable. He had a mental breakdown and lost the will to continue on, this is one of the most common and realistic stories there is; I would have had something similar happen to me had I not had close family/friends that backed me up during similar situations.
We're not saying he's going to be homeless "forever", we're saying that he won't have money to continue having access to a computer, and as his main skillset *relies* on a computer, yes, it would be rather hard to find employment and come out of being homeless.
I'm not sure if you know this or not, but being homeless is extremely difficult to get out of;
-Want a job? You need an address to send paychecks to/get registered to the job.
-Want to keep yourself clean for job interviews? With what money/supplies?
-You want to appear trustworthy at a job? After being homeless?
It's EXTREMELY difficult to come back from that.
I dress in jeans that are 10 years old and a jacket that's older than that. I live frugally.
If I were going for a job, you better believe I'd dress the part, but out around town? I'm not really going to care how I look.
I guess all game companies with initial lack of success should just pack it up and go home, right? Like that one company... what was its name, I think Eidos? The company that put out over 10 horribly received games before doing Tomb Raider and knocking it out of the park? Yeah, that one.
None of us working on the game are getting paid here until the Patreon for the game gets made, myself included. We're going to start up the Patreon ASAP, get a demo out within a month, and go from there. The artist, myself, and Cheshire are all doing rather poorly financially, so we're realizing it's obviously not feasible to pay one another out of our own pockets, and rather to get funds through Patreon.
And the voice actresses, I've already made contact with and have worked with before.
This is called networking; you get people in your network and you make business relations with them, and then they agree to do work for free for you because they know you're a solid businessman/woman and will get them $$$ in the long run.
And if you want proof the artist and I have been doing work;
This is from about one week of discussions/planning/making a design sheet on the game that's about 10 pages long, and Triangulate working on it and so forth. He can get done one of these animations, start to finish, in about a day.
So 50 sex animations (2 per enemy) + 2 or 3 other animations per enemy = 3 or 4 months worth of work, completely feasible.
So please, don't smear other people's reputations with assumptions out of nowhere when they're pretty much baseless (having no idea what another person's life situation is actually like) or just presented incorrectly (quoting someone's opinions from over half a year ago).
