Curious that you're not including the main one of late mentioned from time to time that is Project Myriam.To be fair, female protag games generally don't do as well financially as male protag games, of which those devs make. LP is still much larger than most other female protag games on Patreon. And a couple of those developers are also on their 2nd game (Carbodis/DRP) or have made multiple games (ISCTOR). That's where devs make their money, the 2nd game. Built a solid base on their 1st and (hopefully) improved their skills for the 2nd.
However, this game still underachieves. It's literally the only notable mom MC game, as far as I know. His current patrons are patrons because of anticipation of what could happen, not what has happened.
Personally, of the two games we're allowed to have as pics, Free Pass has a Mom MC, and DDoS, while the daughter is the MC, Mom is a major LI.
I'd be curious what GingerSweetGirl's comparative analysis of AfterChoices is, since he lists AWAM as one of his influences. But then again, Patreon has been screwing AfterChoices around with paying him as he flees Myanmar, so is switching to Subscribestar. Particularly since the content with the MC's stepdaughter also happens to be heating up. If L&P did a smooth transition to Substar, I'd be far less concerned about the future of this game with content like the bonus storyline, 2nd side job, etc, etc.
