Are you okay with where the pre-order funds go?

Chucklefish doesnt get paid for for making starbound. The preorder funds is there check, and you use personal profits for everyday use? no?

Somepople don't know how making an indie game works

 

That's kind of weird that people would actually be mad they're using the pre-order funds to, ya know, live and stuff.

 

that tweet was for an entirely different dev team

 

I don't care where the money goes as long as I get whats guaranteed.

 

What is the point of this thread?

 

what is the point of anything

why do we live

 

Who the fuck the people think the money goes to? Starving children in africa?

Obviously part of the money will go directly to chucklefish (The Company), and the rest of it goes split between each dev working on the game since they have to get paid for the job they are doing obviously.

P.S: I believe the OP is mistaken that the people who said those thing in twitter wasn't aiming at Tiy and Starbound, but a game developer that tiy was responding to that where making a game with a kickstarter called Chasm.

 

To pass are genetic materiel and further the existence of humanity.

 

So, we live to secks. Great. Thats the only answer to life's questions that we have uncovered so far.

 

Everyone took the words out of my mouth, god I love this community. If the game never came out then I would have a problem, otherwise they have every right to use it for anything. Seeing how things are going I doubt I will be disappointed. The only thing we are entitled to is the game and that's it.

 

I don't see what the problem is, pre-ordering is supporting the developers. They can't work if they don't have a place to live....

 

The important thing to remember is we are actually buying a copy of the game... Some of us chose to pay more for some extra little things and to support the team further.

When you buy a bigger title you are kind of retrospectively paying peoples wages....

 

Seeing they are trying to make a living off of this game. I would be perfectly fine with this.

 

I still get the game because I gave them money and they promised the game, so I don't know why anyone should care especially since they are clearly continuing their work on the project. If the developers are alive and healthy because I pitched in then they can keep making the game to give it to me. If someone rationalizes it any differently than that then whatever. They were probably a very small minority anyways. (I bet they might even come back after full release and see all the amazingness going on then they pay full price for it. More money for Chucklefish then!)

 

If the money towards living expenses is only based off actual wages, I am fine with it. But if they are getting paid and having living paid for them, then I don't like it very much.

Depending on how much they are paid.

It would be a bit annoying if they were paid enormous amounts instead of making production go faster.

 

I gave them money for Starbound, and as long as I get the game I see no reason to care.

 

100% fine with it keep up the good work on the game i pre-orderd knowing this how did some people not?

 

The money is their salary, and the salary is what you use to pay stuff with. (What you buy is completely up to you..) How this is an issue is beyond me.

 

To make cookies.

To eat them.
