I wish the dev just focused on like 7-10 characters instead of this. Feels just like being lost in the scope of the game which makes it so you are never completing the game because you are constantly crafting brand new character ideas this far in development. IDK. Feels more like they should just make porn videos / slideshows with briefs text stories rather than a game.
It was explained why he does this by a previous poster, it is not new nor exclusive. Let's see... even if every one of his subs only did so at the $1 mark, which we know isn't the case, he'd be making $10k USD a month minus the like 3% subscribestar takes.
For a game that gets like two barebones updates a year lol.
He's probably already made more money milking the game than he ever will selling it complete. That's why you have a ton of unfinished content. Infinite bait, infinite reasons to draw out development.
This is not new. If you look at the top 10 ero creators/game for Patreon and Subscribestar, every last one of their games have been in purgatory for years without meaningful updates despite earning more and taking longer than some of the most beloved indie games out there while having far smaller scope.
There is literally no incentive for them to finish the game and they are rewarded for being lazy. We just have to fight for the scraps and maybe be smart enough to just pirate patreon games until they release, if ever.
The only way this will stop is if subscribestar and patreon finally ban all ero content completely, but good luck with that. The sad part is there is a distressing gap in work ethics between western and eastern developers, broadly speaking.
