Labor includes the above for pre-sale, and sales of YWNS. Marketing material before launch.
Also, as mentioned in the Discord, it would be βOKβ to hold the funds for printing until after game release if thatβs desired. But the budget for labor would be needed sooner, rather than after YWNS release due to scheduling/work on my end, because Iβm full-time except for some brief moments in the coming month(s), with which I can have a window of dedicated time.
PS I dont use any AI imagery/generative, itβs all handmade and takes several hours to produce, but I think it provides for longevity and quality in the final product(digital & physical) for years to come.
(Nothing wrong with AI I just dont use it for the art/illustrations or design elements.)
One vision for all of this artwork is to usable for a long time in subsequent YWNS/WAGDIE efforts.
Thank you for all considerations and feedback.
