Re: Project X: New update v3.5 Released 14th May 2012
Yeah, that and Fenoxo does most if not all the coding for the game. He takes stories from other people and adds them, but also gives them some money for it too.
And fenoxo is also being paid to do it all. Granted, it's through donations rather than secure income. But I think he's nearing the $2000 a month mark. (It's at $1800 for this month)
If zeta was to buy things for her game, it'd have to come from her own pocket.
Also, she can't really have donations or even ads, as that can get her in trouble (since she's using sonic and all that). Fenoxo's all original creation.
Even if we're taking a somewhat long story, writing is quicker than drawing. I imagine making a single animation should be taking at least 1 to 2 days, if they are working on it non-stop and are pretty fast at it. Each small event should be taking fenoxo no more than an hour.
Yes, being talented AND writing good story is not that easy, but it does consume a lot less time than drawing. And since Project X is even animated, it adds that much effort into each little thing. And then they really enjoy having extra characters...
And to finish it all up, Fenoxo's able to work on it full-time, as it's become his job. Since it's his job, he'll do it and that's the end of it. Zeta has the benefit of "Oh well, I'm not feeling like it, I'll leave it for tomorrow". Fenoxo has a certain obligation to the donors.
And that's the way it
should be, really. If a hobby starts feeling like a job, it's time to get another hobby.
