Viewing post in Dim The Lights - Episode 3 by Naughty Cat Entertainment comments
Hello ARCA1, thank you for buying the game! Unfortunately you have to pay for new episodes and if you ask why, let me try to enlighten you with a little information:
-it takes serious amounts of time to prepare each scene, the most time consuming part. I don't use cheap blurring techniques in my renders so everything in the scene has to look good!(with blurring, you can simply cover mistakes easily)
-An example of rendering work: it took more or less 20 days, 20 full days of rendering time, 24hrsx20 days to render the images for episode 3. Episode 3 contains 260images. Quality comes with a price...
-I change the outfits of the characters atleast 2 or 3 times in a single episode to keep things fresh and unordinary which is another time consuming process and I always use real 3d environtments, not some flat background picture.
-the game is currently priced $2 for episode 3 and unfortunately with the taxes, payment fees, etc I can barely earn 1$ per sale. Even though that doesn't make much of an income, I didn't want to change the price for episode 3 and the price for episode 4 which includes almost 500 renders will definitely be higher...
My sincere regards
Thank you
