I'll be honest NWP need more money, today income is just not cut it.
I need to pay my colorist and another artist that I intended to hire, but the leak and the pirate (the one who steal not the tier) is not helping what so ever.
Like some of you already know that the update is once again get leaked and the authorization get hacked despite my efforts to incentivize the game to be not leaked before it go public and build a system for paid supporters to get what they deserve.
There is no way the game can keep up with this rate of piracy, I have almost 19k members and not even 3 % of it paid for the game.
Like you guys see, New World Paradise is made by hand drawn art, like almost all of it.
It's probably will be easier if I use AI for this game, it's faster and better right?
But I think if it's speed that I needed I can use tracing technique for that, after all the drawing is what's make the game more unique from the rest isn't it?
The one who is not already hand drawn by us is probably will be redrawn sooner or later, the vision of this game is that it will be made by hand drawn, all of it.
unfortunately my friend, that's need a lot of time and money.
I updated my game 9 times and only 2 of it is not leaked, and suprise suprise those two update is when the game have the biggest surge of supporters.
I genuinely don't know why my specific one piece game that got targeted a lot.
Is this because my past as a pirate?
But I already make the game free man....
I don't know why people just can't wait.
I will be honest, feels so bad right now that I might want to quit...
However I know some people will be so dissapointed by it, a lot of people invest hundreds of dollars in to this game. I don't want to make them sad.
I don't want to quit....
Guess I'm a little bit sad.
It's okay tho, maybe a little beer and sleep will help.
Also it's not by much but hey we touch all time high!
Thank you everyone and sorry for the trouble....
Please keep supporting me, I like this project, I like game developing, I like to draw, and I god damn like one piece.
