Why are we on Patreon?
Games are the greatest form of expression and entertainment that we've ever created. Theres a common saying in games development that it's a miracle that any games are made, let alone good ones. Now, its even more brutal.
Over the past two years, the industry has rapidly changed, flipped around and turned upside down. Funding for new projects is sparse, even for successful devs. Everything is far more expensive to make. Paths we used to be able to take to create projects no longer exist.
Youve likely heard about this on some front. Its grim. 30% of all games developers have either been laid off or had their roles significantly reduced or affected over the past year alone. Studios have closed. Many have left. We at Heart Machine are not immune, having gone through layoffs in November of this year.
Since the old models are not enough, we have to adapt. So we're asking for support to help us continue to not just survive, but adapt and thrive. To help us prototype and build new projects, to help support us when the state of the industry has made it so much harder to exist.
We've always been big on talking directly to our audience. We think this Patreon is an opportunity for us to do more on this front while also benefiting.
There are a few key goals we have in mind for this Patreon:
1. To give a more thorough and deep insight into our process and what it takes to make games. Sharing exclusive write-ups, videos, concept art, design documents and prototype gifs from all of our projects past and present.
2. To share more about the issues in the industry driving this state of turmoil. E.g. corporate consolidation, overspending, accelerating costs, and a changing market.
3. To reach a bigger audience with more transparency in an otherwise notoriously opaque industry in the hope we can share and do our part to help others to better navigate and survive.
We all love games. Were here because its an industry driven by passion. But its never been easy. We've been making titles we are extremely proud of for 10 years now, and we want to make sure we can stick around another 10.
Approaches like this Patreon are part of what it takes to make sure of that, to get through the toughest times and come out ultimately better.
We hope that you enjoy the content and inside access that well be providing here.
Thank you so much for your support.
[ 2024-12-24 17:02:16 CET ] [ Original post ] Echoes of a dark and violent past resonate throughout a savage land, steeped in treasure and blood. Hyper Light Drifter is an action adventure RPG in the vein of the best 16bit classics, with modernized mechanics and designs on a much grander scale.
Drifters of this world are the collectors of forgotten knowledge, lost technologies and broken histories. Our Drifter is haunted by an insatiable illness, traveling further into the lands of Buried Time, hoping to discover a way to quiet the vicious disease.
• From each character to subtle background elements, everything is lovingly hand-animated.
• Easy to pick up, difficult to master; enemies are vicious and numerous, hazards will easily crush your frail body, and friendly faces remain rare.
• Upgrade weapons, learn new skills, discover equipment and traverse a dark, detailed world with branching paths and secrets abound.
