Hello everyone. I hope you're having a good day.
Many new users on this website, and within the Koikatsu community as a whole, may not have a specific name or nickname to call us by. However, I'm confident that many long-time users recognize us by our early usernames, such as Gue and Cue. Personally, I don't have a fixed brand name or title, and I don't mind being called whatever name the community calls me.
First and foremost, let me make it clear that this message is a statement to correct false rumors and information spread by some malicious users within the Koikatsu community with the intention of damaging our reputation and inciting hatred against us.
First and foremost, I want to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who subscribes to our pages and enjoys our content. Thanks to you, we are able to maintain our motivation to continue creating content. Without your support, we would have lost interest and given up long ago.
Many may think our approach is inferior or even absurd, but we dedicate ourselves to content creation full-time, just like any other regular job. This is because, realistically, it would be impossible to create Koikatsu animations and frequently release new content while holding a regular job at a company; it would lead to immense stress and frustration.
The only difference is that we work full-time from home, requiring strict self-discipline, meeting our own deadlines, and striving to afford a living on our own. No company to spend hours of commute to attend, no manager to keep tabs on us and push us into working, no monthly performance evaluation nor a quota to meet. But still, the work is present, so are the stress, the frustration, and the burnouts. Because it is true labor, true work for us.
Depending on a creator's experience and circumstances, this can feel like monotonous and tedious work, or it can feel like a rewarding and challenging process. We might be somewhere in between.
We've been creating Koikatsu animations since 2022, and while we're trying to meet the needs of a new, younger generation, we're also struggling with our traditional production style. It's both rewarding and frustrating.
Nevertheless, we continue to challenge ourselves. We don't know how long we can continue, but we hope you'll continue to support us and watch with us until the end.
Next, let's talk about our current content distribution methods. Many people have expressed dissatisfaction with having to pay to access our content.
We want to make it clear that Illusion Games, the developer of many titles including Koikatsu and HoneySelect, has not made any official statement regarding whether it is illegal for us to sell the content we create. Therefore, we have no plans to change our content distribution methods until we receive an official statement from the developer.
Furthermore, and this may sound ironic, currently half of our revenue comes from requests from our supporters for commissions and character editing. This is an explanation to those who try to spread false rumors such as "productivity is declining" or "we're just reusing old animations and only pursuing profit." These are completely unfounded. Demand is very high, and we are simply doing our best to meet that demand.
Simply put, we hope you will continue to support us and enjoy our past works. If we are no longer able to meet your needs or expectations, the final decision is up to you. That is, you can stop subscribing to our content and explore the works of many other content creators. The final decision rests with you, not us.
Finally, I'd like to address those of you who are known on this site, and perhaps on many other sharing sites and forums.
If you cannot afford to pay for my content, and perhaps the content of many other paid content creators, it would be common sense to simply enjoy the content that our true subscribers, who support us, have so readily provided, in your own private space, rather than redistributing or reselling the fruits of our labor and trying to profit without any collective effort. The collective effort here comes from both us creators and our true supporters to paid money to access our contents in the first place, before they could be leaked here and heavily taken for granted by you at the end of the line.
Personally, I have no problem with people who want to use animation scene data solely for their own personal enjoyment. It does no harm to creators like us.
I may resent some of our subscribers who simply does not want to be a little more patient and delay the time a bit more, before coming here and sharing our latest contents, leaving many other true supporters and me damaged from their careless practice. Sure, I do, because if you were a creator running your own business and having such customers in your store, I can promise that you would naturally feel and act the same way.
But eventually, I resent the ungrateful people who gets access to our contents for granted yet still continuously throwing insults, slanders, and hatred towards us more. As if we were committing a crime that is unforgivable, or worse than that, which is simply just not the case here in a 3D character creator & love simulation" video game.
Even if you insult, slander, or spread false rumors to defame us, ultimately, you are only trying to obtain scene data for your own private gratification, and we, too, are simply trying to make a living from this work. We understand you and we hope that you would understand for us in return, it is very simple.
We creators are simply regular human beings, too. We earn our income from content creation, and we use that money to buy food and water, pay our bills and receipts, and purchase new characters and materials that will be useful for future productions.
Hopefully this message can reach as many people as possible, and somehow helps bring common sense to the discussion in any future encounters.
As unfortunate as it is, this will be the first and the last time we send a message on this account and in here.
Thank you for your time, and again, I wish you all a good day.
