Everything is said correctly and clearly, you need to think about how to get out of the hole and not continue to bury yourself in failures.
The problem is that in my country it is almost impossible to get a job or find some kind of part-time job, in a country where there are wars, no one wants to hire anyone, and if they do, then they either pay less than $100 a month or come soldiers and demand from their superiors to send their workers to the military registration and enlistment office for a medical examination and military service (in simple words, they are taken to war, since there are always not enough soldiers, we are suffering huge losses).
Find some other talents that will help you earn money. I don’t even know what to think of, I can’t just sign up for programming lessons to become a famous programmer. To do this, you need at least some kind of equipment (I have nothing else except an old phone), and I’m not good at programming and my imagination isn’t the best either. The only talent that I suddenly discovered was the talent of modding, which gave me the opportunity to make changes to some games (the game "Galaxy on Fire 2 HD", have you heard of such a game, I converted it, improved the graphics and made my own mod, I can tell you where you can download my version of the game if anyone is interested), I can’t do anything else except mods.
Previously, my government at least gave assistance to poor citizens in the amount of $50 a month, now the president and politicians absolutely do not care about their citizens and they refused to help everyone in need, people are so weak that they simply cannot protest, and if they go to protest, then the army will shoot them for betraying their homeland.
That's why I started trying to convert my mods into financial assistance, I don't need much, I need to be given $1 for downloading my mod, so that I can at least receive up to $50 a month (a dorm room is very expensive for me , they have already raised the price to $100 per month, but our wifi internet is cheap, only $4 per month).
If they gave me a reward for the mod, then I would update and correct the mod (if they told me that the balance was broken and a bug was found here, they told me their opinion about the mod and how to make it more interesting, then it would be easier for me to make the mod ). If they gave me a job, for example they gave me an mp3 video and asked me to convert it into flc animation or something else that wouldn’t be too difficult (because I can’t make a mod like X-Files, but I can make some kind of addon for FMP , has already done, which updates the FMP mod to a new level of sound and video quality, new sprites, new sounds, flc animations and various additions).
Even the FMP mod is no longer popular, but my mod is a remastered version of FMP and I don’t think that my remastered version will make the FMP mod popular again. If my mod was popular and brought me several tens of dollars a month, then it would be a miracle for me, I would not only be able to pay for a dorm room, but would also prove to all modding haters that my mod (and openxcom in in general) is popular and players even give money in gratitude for the mod (and mods are like new parts of the game, they are more different from each other than xcom1 from xcom2, you don’t mind spending money on such mods), especially such popular mods as X -Files, FMP, Xeno Operations, TWoTS definitely deserve to be given money for them, but the authors of these mods don’t need money (they don’t need that kind of money from $1 to $100, but I really need it).
Also, if the authors of popular mods were given money that they don’t need, they could give it to me in return for making some improvements to these mods. This way I could try to make an honest living as an employee hired to improve popular mods (I could try to make changes from my mod to other mods if the authors are interested in something that is in my mod and not in their modes).
Several types of work have already appeared, adding an alternative ending, but all this is not in my specialty, something else may appear to order that I can do and earn honest money.
Modding in the openxcom community - is not a job in a company, mods - are not a business, creating mods - is not a way to make money, but I hope that someday people will become more generous and everyone will start throwing coins into the piggy bank after or before downloading a mod, then I can I will realize all my modding talents and will be able to alleviate my financial problems (just alleviate them, not solve them completely).
