I'm not at all confused, you're just trying to act smart over my wording. You're digging up a year old post to stir the pot for nothing - except getting into an argument.
Oh of course they do, but it's interesting how many developers of AVN's suddenly become terminally ill. The amount of times I've seen developer blogs where a mysterious illness has befallen them is ramping. I'd say it's an easy way out instead of simply saying "I wasn't in the mood to work on this project". Why? Take a guess which statement causes a bigger drop in subscriber numbers. Is that the case for every developer? No. Do I know if it's the case here? No. I've made an observation and gave my opinion is all.
Entirely missing the point. You're assuming the developer has a full-time job to begin with. We don't know that. What I do know is that a bunch of devs who end up working full-time on the development of their projects due to sufficient income from crowd funding platforms are doing exactly what I described in my initial post. But there's a catch; A lot of them seemingly underestimate the scope of what they've gotten themselves into. A once fun little hobby turns into actual work - work that nobody is monitoring as these people suddenly become their own boss. That requires discipline, work ethics and a sense of responsibility towards the people supporting you financially.
Ultimately you'll often times see a couple updates in a timely manner (obviously heavily depending on the amount of content provided), followed by a never ending downhill ride until you reach nothingness. There really aren't that many developers who are able to turn it into an actual job, and I'm not talking about the financial aspect. The job of a Game Developer isn't for everyone, but almost everyone in this business is kicking it off as a hobby. In this case, job and hobby often times clash, resulting in a dumpster fire.
Anyway, I've not been following this project after my previous post and have no clue how Caylake is doing, but sure do hope they're doing well.
Cheers
