Indie Development: Affordable Old School Goodness!

At Pixelated Frozen Lion, I stand by a set of principles that reflect my passion for gaming and my commitment to the gaming community. It's about crafting experiences that are as affordable as they are unforgettable. No hidden fees, just old-school goodness, and a genuine love for the game. Dive into worlds that are in-depth and customizable to suit your playstyle.

About Pixelated Frozen Lion

Greetings! Frozen Lion here, from Pixelated Frozen Lion. Well, wasn't that an overly complicated way to say "one-man operation"? Anyway, I am (or we are?) operating from my garage, nestled here in Southern Finland. It's a humble abode (and a software developing cliché) where I forge gaming dreams into reality. Oddly enough, while I do (co)own a car, you might find it amusing to know that I neither have space for said car in the garage, nor have I ever possessed a driver's license. I find it funny how life's filled with quirks, and I'm definitely contributing my fair share of them!

A Gamer at Heart

(In the nerdy way)



My passion for gaming runs deep, originating with the 8-bit Nintendo, progressing with classic PC titles like Civilization, SimCity, Star Control, Master of Magic, UFO: Enemy Unknown, Master of Orion, Jagged Alliance, Baldur's Gate, Warband, Supreme Commander, Fallout, Skyrim, and Mass Effect. Eventually, it was refined by gems such as Kenshi, ONI, Zomboid, Factorio, Slay the Spire and Rimworld. These gaming experiences, among many others, have profoundly influenced my creative direction and fueled my desire to craft unforgettable adventures for fellow gamers.

The Long Path

While my love for gaming has always been a constant since the days I could barely hold a gamepad, my path towards game development took a detour through a maze of chaos. Picture this: a challenging childhood, limited means, no father, an unstable mother, and more relocations than Mario or Mega Man had sequels... These early tribulations pushed me towards studying economics hoping to catch that elusive financial stability that was always playing hard to get. Fast forward, and I found myself in a near 15-year banking marathon, chasing stability but constantly outrun by job satisfaction. So, one day, I made the resolute choice to leave behind the comforts and chains of my established career and to embark on a path rooted in my childhood dreams and clouded by uncertainty.



Armed with zero coding skills and a complete absence of musical aptitude, I embarked on a quest to conquer game development and create the enchanting World of Erdûn. Along this epic journey, I unlocked the secrets of coding, honed my pixel art talents, and forged an unwavering passion for my craft - though I must confess, my musical talents remain elusive

The Power of Family and Friends

In this adventure, I find myself deeply grateful for the support of my loving family, which includes my wonderful spouse, our two amazing kids, and a somewhat odd canine companion. Their encouragement, and the support of truly dear friends, has been the cornerstone of my determination. I often wonder how they manage to stand by me. You see, I'm a bit of a grumpy, stubborn introvert with a multitude of quirks, including sound sensitivity, aphantasia and speaking without a filter. Yet, their steadfast presence and understanding have been a source of immense strength throughout this journey.

Thank you family.

Thank you friends.

Support

Thank you for considering supporting Pixelated Frozen Lion!

Any form of contribution is helpful, and it does not need to be monetary. Simply watching Twitch streams, liking and subscribing to YouTube videos, or actively participating in the Discord server is really helpful!

That being said, please know that any financial aid contributes to keeping the game creation on schedule and realizing all the planned features. It also helps me to continue hosting streams and creating community content simultaneously. I'm deeply grateful for every contribution!

If you have the willingness and means to help financially, you have several options. However, only choose what suits you, and please do not overextend yourself.

Although some financial options may be more favorable than others, all forms of support are valuable and significantly better than nothing. That being said, I strongly prefer Ko-fi over Patreon, as it is much fairer to both the sender and receiver.

Here are some financial support options:

Ko-fi

Monthly donations (membership), One time donations
Ko-fi/pixelatedfrozenlion

Ko-fi is a great and very popular platform! Through it, you can make one-time donations (starting from 1 EUR) or set up monthly payments (again, starting from 1 EUR) directly to me via PayPal. While there is almost no fee, I've enabled the contributor perk, offering 5% from each transaction to the Ko-fi community. This is the only cost involved, with the remaining 95% going to support Pixelated Frozen Lion. It's a very fair and reliable service.

For those opting for monthly payments, select your tier based on your preferred content: either game development with World of Erdûn, my streaming content, or both.

There are no extensive perks; just acknowledgment in the game credits and on streams as a token of my gratitude. I do my very best to treat everyone equally, regardless of their financial capacity.

I've kept the first two tiers as affordable as possible at 1 and 1.1 EUR respectively. The last tier combines the costs of the previous ones to ensure fairness in acknowledgments.

Additional tiers are unnecessary really, as you can always choose to contribute more if you wish and are able to do so easily.

Patreon

Monthly donations (membership)
patreon/pixelatedfrozenlion

Patreon is the granddaddy of monthly subscription platforms, perhaps the most popular. Its philosophy differs greatly from the donation-oriented Ko-fi. Patreon acts as an intermediary, and all payments go to and from them.

Also, Patreon emphasize that they facilitate services being sold (for perks, benefits, additional content), making it subject to sales tax (US) or under VAT (EU). This means that instead of 95-100 % of payments going to the receiver, only around 60-80% of them will. I will provide a breakdown on this in my Discord/Let's Dev Chat stream.

Nevertheless, this is not about what I consider fair, but what people like to use. Many have patreon accounts already and want to focus their payments from one place - which is understandable.

Twitch

Monthly donations (subscription), One time donations (giftsubs, bits)
patreon/pixelatedfrozenlion

Remember, supporting a streamer goes beyond pure monetary donations. Liking, sharing, and just watching the channel also contribute! That being said, Twitch offers various donation options. Be aware that around 50% of all payments go to Twitch, and the remainder supports Pixelated Frozen Lion.

For one-time donations on Twitch, you can choose either "giftsubs" or "bits". While bits, especially when bought in bulk via desktop, are slightly more cost-effective, giftsubs enhance stream visibility, making them generally the more attractive option for streamers.

Monthly donations are made by subscribing to an appropriate channel tier, which also makes the stream ad-free. This not only directly supports the channel but also boosts visibility.

Lastly, if you have Amazon Prime, you get one free Twitch subscription every month. This option requires manual activation each month but is a fantastic way to contribute without additional cost!

News

10th of JAN 2024: The "Let's PLAY" and "Let's TEST" streams exclusively showcase "Going Medieval" for the time being. The reason behind this choice is that the game offers a suitably chill and slow-paced environment, allowing me to better gather my streaming "act"together (before venturing forth to more demanding games).
