The sad reality is monthly subscription sites like Patreon are the only path available to small developers. People without a following won't get much support on Kickstarter. Fujino has a reputation now but before I doubt many people would have given him enough money to finish any of this games unless it was a monthly basis as a trial. Even now I wonder how many of his fans would give him money up front to finish the SAO game when it would be sold later at Saikey anyway. But I would like to see him make something on Kickstarter to see what happens.It is possible to finance things on patreon through monthly payments, however it is rather inadvisable because of the fluctuation of income. This is fine on more stable project that have a team or some kind of safety with prior funds but a singular dev that has just started out should not use Patreon as a means to fund a project if he doesn't have that kind of safety net. (Without a trusting and supportive community atleast, its best to keep monthy or atleast bimonthly updates up.)
Akabur can get away with it because of his prior games and expirence in art, he has done comissions before on the side in order to keep his revenue up.
Or someone like Snats is only able to keep up development due to his incredibly dedicated and stable fanbase.
Considering the current feedback from Fujinos fans i doubt he has the luxary of something that would be stable enough to rely on like that.
But if Fujino does think it would work and his financial situation is in a place where he could do something risky like that i would be all for it but if he isn't he really shouldn't just take a risk like that.
Thats why i think the only moment where changing model would have made sense was right when part 1 ended, at that point he could have said that he is making a game through a different platform.The sad reality is monthly subscription sites like Patreon are the only path available to small developers.

Financing through Patreon might be inconvenient but it is fairly stable for him right now. At least now he is expanding his revenue through Saikey. Maybe for his next game he could try out a different model.
What makes Yuuki Asuna recognizable is her braid crown and maybe her hair color. Can you try making characters with different body shape and tone. Maybe different eye and hair color too? I want to see if I can still recognize her as "Yuuki Asuna".
Too late to change the model now. Since neither one of us has a time machine maybe you can keep commenting on his platforms to use a different model for his next game if you think that will benefit him. Maybe he will remember it.Thats why i think the only moment where changing model would have made sense was right when part 1 ended, at that point he could have said that he is making a game through a different platform.
I am not in favor of a split in anyway at all, my point isn't "He needs to switch to kickstarter" my point is "If he where to change his development model to instead of a monthy based update, a single release. The best way would be to switch his revenue model entirely" I am not for either of those things since they are a financial risk.
Also if he ever finds a publisher that has a wide reach like Kagura whiles still giving him a decent revenue split my opinion on this would change immediately. As much as i love Saikey, they really don't have a lot of reach outside of their own platform which is rather unkown.
YES ORIGINAL ASUNA HAIR WORK ONLY IN KOIKATSU SUNSHINE DOWNLOADING NOW KKKWhat makes Yuuki Asuna recognizable is her braid crown and maybe her hair color.

Well i originally replied to an argument of a "Fujino should do ___" post to which my reply boiled down to:Too late to change the model now. Since neither one of us has a time machine maybe you can keep commenting on his platforms to use a different model for his next game if you think that will benefit him. Maybe he will remember it.
i do think that there are legitimate reason as to why he isn't just making the game on the side.
i love it...So what is everyone’s impression of part 2 so far?
it happen when the side chat appeared maybe? if so i got same problem too... its back to normal once that side chat dissapeared tho...Need help in figuring out why the second part of the game suffers from lag. Like when I get to certain parts of the town or when too many characters talking at once.
It's done already here:Can any hero make it so that there's no obstruction in the suguha bj scene in part 2?
Help, I have the same problem. Does anyone have a save for after the barrel?
