New computer for game development
Donation protected
Hello, I go by the username SubWooferX3 online and I am a young and aspiring Game developer and 3D modeller. For the past year or so I have been using the same desktop, which cost $200 originally. While it has been decent for what I'm trying to do, it is far not good enough. Render times are extremely long, even for relatively simple scenes. And while that would be fine if that was the only problem, there is also a certain level of how "complex" my models and games can get before my computer crashes entirely. Ontop of all these problems that limit my abilities, my computer's hard drive and graphics card are also failing. Every file I've worked on for the past 5 years is on this computer and I can not afford to lose it now, and while it would be easy to repair the hard drive, the graphics card is built into the motherboard which means I cannot just switch it out for another one. If I reach the goal of $600 I will be extremely thankful, and will be able to afford a new and better computer. My game developer career cannot start without this, as I am unable to complete further projects without my computer being unable to run anything. All of the money will be towards getting as good of a computer as I can which is going to greatly improve the quality of both my future models AND future games. I know that if a stranger would see this, they would question why they should donate to some random teen on the internet so he can make games and models, and I completely understand that. Creating this gofundme is the only chance I have at being able to continue with everything I plan, and without it I will have to pause any development on original works for a couple of years. And while some of the pictures of my models I included are fanworks, I am currently in the planning stages of a horror game, which cannot continue development without a better computer.
