Yes for sure, huge 2d market out there still to consider
I think its important to note that scripts per month have been ongoing and growing since day 1, and we probably had alot more scripts than expected in the recent past
I think its also important not to add too much pressure to this kind of work, and to note that nowhere else has as many total, consistently produced yet simultaneously high quality scripts in such short a time than at SLR, especially considering its all for less than $10 a month
That said, there are many reasons why guys script more or less, or stay or go:
Factors like ongoing backend distribution changes/announcements going on that create unpredictability (which can be potentially good or bad but definitely causes uncertainty)
Most also do this part time (difficult to do full time due to the monotony and long length scenes of VR) so guys often script in spurts when they have energy, need important breaks, and have families or life obligations, so maintaining flexibility is key
Also scripters have likely been trying to recently make use of scripts AI tool, but are finding its more so increasing script time due to constant setup, tweaking and always necessary adjusting points afterwards
Speaking of motion tracking / AI tools and SLR scripts, I would like to clear up a common misconception:
Many have been thinking SLR scripts have been generated with motion/AI tools, seemingly easily pumped out constantly, but everything at SLR we’ve released till now has been manually human made without any motion tracked/AI assistance to date
We’ve tried other tools, and unfortunately they all seem to require alot of supervision and post editing, in order to be usable (never mind the guaranteed significant drop in quality), and releasing anything too rushed, not properly checked, I think would be a disservice to our supportive paying customers who trust the quality at SLR, hence why I will personally always strive for maximum accuracy and immersion
Also for me personally, motion tracking/AI ends up actually taking the fun out scripting, which is hugely important for doing this long term, and adding pressure and deadlines quickly turns what was once a hobby into actual work, which often defeats the purpose of guys doing this in the first place
Sorry for the long winded post, but hope that helps clarifies some things
