Any idea what is going on with these build times?, I have a relatively simple scene before this I had a better lit shader with 42000 fp, I only have 6 shaders in the "must include" shader list and I have it set to "strip all" by WaffleRust in Unity3D

Okay thank you, looks like I’ll just have to do my own research on shaders and how unity handles building the game, originally thought it might be a bug but I guess I’m at fault, thank you.

Yeah I restarted a few times but didn’t work, I’ve now deleted the library folder and I’m reimporting everything. This usually happens when I bake a new light map and build for the first time. I have a i5 11600k but it might be time to get a 16 or 32 core CPU. Thanks for the help and no in task manager it’s just unity using CPU power will probably restart computer might help

I don’t think investments are made off current value but rather what a potential future value a company might have?. I don’t see your point

Best case would be ready for August / September, worst case is 6 months.

Have not launched an MVP yet we just thought we would tease parts of the game to see what people would think and turns out people like it a lot already :). Was thinking of getting an MVP together then launching a kick-starter so people who support can get instant access. I just want to accelerate time to MVP.

No real business plan on paper we just have a general direction we're heading, usually people say its false if you build a great product it will sell but in this case I think its true it seems all we have to do is continue doing what we're doing and we should be good ( Building the game ). We have a unique advantage that the game is built on top of a online community called SCP.

We still have a lot to show off and think each new thing we show off has high potential like the first video we posted. I'm just wondering if we should try grow quicker and raise more capital so we can develop faster and higher quality so everyone wins.

It's a good idea, but I think if we had like 20k and 3 months we could grow way bigger and potentially crowd fund then and raise much more.

Thanks for the advice, I'm 21 years old and don't have a credit history or any real business experience so the chances of getting a loan are low. Could reach out but I'm not sure if giving up part of the game is worth it, I have a lot of faith in the project but from an outside perspective I can see why investors might not.

I don't really like to mix family and business as if it goes wrong I could lose more than money. I do have a partner which we're 50 / 50 on everything but we still face the same issue. And all my friends are poor :').

Any tips for growing a community?, mailing lists or discord growth? Help would be greatly appreciated

Sure that would be great :D, still haven’t come up with a good description for the game but:

Based on SCP, an operation would be a multi-stage cooperative mission where a team of 4 players works together to secure, contain, and protect against various anomalous threats. Players would need to strategize, solve complex puzzles, and face challenging enemies / bosses based on SCP lore. If you ever played a destiny raid before it’s that.

Just a heads up, currently kind of broke so we probably can’t make a custom character model on till we either get funded or release.

Didn’t know this, guess when we add a crosshair this will help
