Now we finally know why Witcherries left Love Letter. What a fucking disaster.
Now we finally know why Witcherries left Love Letter. What a fucking disaster
Literally who & what
I aint reading a literal blogpost. give a quick rundown or I ignore this thread
cool blogpost OP kill yourself
I second that motion
I don't even have to fucking read it to give you a TL;DR
>Project management don't actually know how to project manage
>Gullible artists get suckered into making fanart for official use
>Something negative happens, and project management goes into full disaster control and tries to play victim
>Snubbed project member, probably an artist, tells you just how bad it really is, which you suspected all along anyway
>Project enters indefinite hiatus due to negative backlash, but probably still keeps taking donations
Replay step 3 as necessary until step 4 occurs
So we'll have another Alex?
>DrApeis then announced that any assets you make for the game, now officially belongs to the game, and by giving them your assets/designs/etc, you give up the right to claim them, or remove them from the game.
DrApeis is a terrible manager and developer, the management is a horrible circlejerk and they only apologize when called out publicly.
Basically YandereDev v2 except they're absolutely dogshit at keeping things under wraps and aren't remotely as adept as alex in manipulation and being the victim
>no background checks
>lack of organization
>no art director
>I am aware that management has apologized to the public
etc etc
she(?) makes it sound as if it was some company behind this game when it's actually just one guy and some random guys from a discord trying to fuck with yandev
she is an idiot for taking any of this shit seriously
>and by giving them your assets/designs/etc, you give up the right to claim them, or remove them from the game.
Yes? Thats literally how game making works?
I've seen many indie projects getting canned because the volunteer artists suddenly realize that they pretty much owns the project
>lol give me a shitton of money
>But you entered the project as a FREE volunteer
>lol im fucking off then, btw you cant use any of my art anymore
>Game gets canceled
DrApeis is a literal child though. It's the difference between a 15 year old trying to run a project, and a 25 year old (Alex when he started YS).
did the artist sign a contract before getting into the thing?
if not, he's dumb
if he did, then what did the contract say?
Pretty sure that's standard and smart practice though? Fuck these idiots making stuff for the game and assuming they still own it.
>I've seen many indie projects getting canned because the volunteer artists suddenly realize that they pretty much owns the project
That's more likely to happen with porn games like Breeding Season, because the artist realizes his art is the main draw, and starts giving the project director ultimatums. A project that can stand on its own without athe artist can tell them to fuck off.
>i made the art so the game is mine now
>what?? it's not mine? Woooooooooooooow i'm out
Based apis, even a child can see a scumbag artist. I'm memeing above, but if that was truly the big problem, it was going to be another broquest.
There has to be clause that they still get names in the credits for their resumes, because otherwise volunteering is a waste of time. 99% of the art in Yandere Simulator is uncredited because Yandev is fucking greedy, and he doesn't want to risk having to pay other people if the game ever gets to a state where it can be sold.
Shit artist, no one cares.
That is how ti goes. The doom music composer owns zero of the songs he made for doom.
The artist is one of those types that treat labels like a personality and believes they're a super oppressed minority. Even if they signed an iron clad contract, they'd still whine about unfairness because the expectation of personal responsibility is sexist/racist/etc. Sr. Apeis did himself a huge favor extracting that tumor early.
>>>DrApeis then announced that any assets you make for the game, now officially belongs to the game, and by giving them your assets/designs/etc, you give up the right to claim them, or remove them from the game.
what's wrong with that?
I guess Dragon Quest must be one of the few exceptions where the composer owns their shit and new games need his approval to use his songs
Japan has different kind of copyright laws so it could be that. Japanese streamers for example need nowadays permission from the japanese game company. At least the virtual youtubers from any group do. Maybe they won't go after smaller ones.
The Sonic games are arguably a more infamous example. This exact shit is actually why they can never remake Sonic 3, because of the drama related to the game's soundtrack
Yandere Simulator is better anyways.
You fuckers cannot change my mind.
Say what you want about YandereDev but Yandere Simulator is a passion project, an autistic one, but a passion project noneless.
LoveLetter was just made to dunk on one man who harmed no one and if you think Text can be harmful, how retarded do you have to be to not come with a clever response or go to another tab?
>one of the mods was cancelled over sexual harassment bullshit
>leader wants to give him a second chance
>other mods blow up on him
>he just goes oh okay
This is a fucking circus
Passion to keep the patreon bucks going, sure.
>lead developer is 17
BASED
This, especially if you're volunteering your work. This is a good lesson for all of these budding 'artists'--make a contract before you just randomly toss your work at someone.
>people thought they might actually get a finished yandere game made by someone competent
>just end up with a second yanderedev
where did these sudden yandev apologists come from? are you trolling?
Based YandereJew knowing how to play Goys. These ameteurs should take some lessons.
>Yanderefags
You're all degenerates, no wonder you fags can't put out a competent piece of work.
Even Tsunderefags have more self-respect and sanity
It's Eva trying to make us forget his shitty game
buddy the whole game from the getgo is from Alex grudge to that skullgirls dev for daring to critique his slapped-together-in-unity-kusoge, that much is true. Now prove to me that LoveLetter is also a 'spite game' to attack Alex and not from a dissatisfied fan/backer/whatever.
>any assets you make for the game, now officially belongs to the game, and by giving them your assets/designs/etc, you give up the right to claim them, or remove them from the game.
this is good, what is your problem you moron?
tl;dr: horrible project management and a staff mostly composed of socal 17yo SJWs and mentally ill twitter/discord trannies who get butthurt over inane shit even among themselves
>volunteer worker who was told beforehand they are volunteering and not expected to get any pay suddenly throws a hissy fit because they realized they won't get paid
Wow what a shocker. It's almost like the majority of volunteers nowadays are faggots thinking they'll become the exception.
how the fuck does a 15 year old have a CS degree?
