08/12/2020, 7:33 AMYeah, usually something like that. - b

08/12/2020, 7:34 AMOne guy I've known back in the Flash days made some simple furry game, then got bunch of requests to draw stuff... eventually quit job and is doing it fulltime. - b

08/12/2020, 7:34 AMFor a few years now he's making a 3d simulator kind of game with like 25k/m on patreon for that... Crazy. - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/12/2020, 7:35 AMindeed, cool stuff though - b
brainy-machine-50829
08/12/2020, 7:35 AMYeah. Practically making his own 3d engine or something, must be fun. - b

08/12/2020, 7:35 AMIt's tougher to make money like that as a programmer. 😄 - b

08/12/2020, 7:36 AMyeah, probably, think there are some success stories with game engines / libs etc i think though - b

08/12/2020, 7:36 AMis it godot that is crowd funded? Cant remember now, but ive heard of a few - b
brainy-machine-50829
08/12/2020, 7:38 AMYeah, but that's usually big endeavors with many team members. - b
brainy-machine-50829
08/12/2020, 7:38 AMI mean, look at you, years worth of work on very cool thing, and you're not making a living from it. 🙂 - b

08/12/2020, 7:38 AMRobert and Kha detto. - b

08/12/2020, 7:39 AMyeah, its true, to be fair it was never about money - even if i was making enough to live on i would likely not stop working as a contractor - b
brainy-machine-50829
08/12/2020, 7:40 AMMoney is nice though. At least some baseline. I've been way below that for years and it's ugly. 😄 - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/12/2020, 7:40 AMbut you are correct in the sense that it would give alot more time to actually spend on haxeui though (or kha, for Rob etc) - b

08/12/2020, 7:40 AMIf I could draw some stuff and make money, I would. With programming there's just freelancing and that's mostly horrible (from my limited experience). - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/12/2020, 7:41 AMits always a balancing act, and rent takes precedence for sure - b
brainy-machine-50829
08/12/2020, 7:41 AMExactly. - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/12/2020, 7:41 AMyeah, i know what you mean, i also think that with OSS in general there is a thought of "well, its free"... which, to be honest, is fair and true - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/12/2020, 7:42 AMi think if you start an OSS project with the intent of making money, you are probably doing it for all the wrong reasons - b
brainy-machine-50829
08/12/2020, 7:43 AMPossibly. The guy making uWS and stuff seems to be doing well with it. - b
brainy-machine-50829
08/12/2020, 7:43 AMBut who knows. - b
brainy-machine-50829
08/12/2020, 7:43 AMDepends on what it is I guess. Rich, the guy making Phaser, is also managing to live from that for past few years. - b
brainy-machine-50829
08/12/2020, 7:43 AMBut I don't think he does it for the money. 😄 So you're correct there. - b

08/12/2020, 7:46 AMyeah, i mean if an OSS project turns into a full time job, then great, but i think starting an OSS project with the idea of "lets make this my day job" is probably pretty ill conceived... as you say, i bet it almost never happens - b
brainy-machine-50829
08/12/2020, 7:46 AMYeah. Although there are cases of that. PlayCanvas I think, the engine is open source, but it's really only usable with their paid editor. 😄
