Well, first thanks for the kind message! It's always a pleasure to know people enjoy what we are doing.I don't like your release cycle. I think you release too many versions with too little content in between them and it loses the special factor. Or rather, it isn't what I would do. But I'm glad to have been proven wrong over the months and years.
You and your team are one of the best developers on this site (therefore in the adult gaming cottage industry) in terms of the value that you provide to your Patreons/Subscribers and I hope you make $30,000 a month in the future. If more developers had the commitment to value to your subs that you did, the adult gaming sphere would be a significantly better and more profitable place for all involved.
You are the prime example of the idea that if you listen to your customers, don't bite your potential customers on sites like this, produce reliable updates and make quality and engaging software then the money will eventually come. If you can push into that 5 figures a month income bracket then it won't just be a win for yourself, but a win for the entire industry and every developer out there from the Ren'Py generic incest copy paste jobs to the extremely detailed and artistic furry porn sub genre should be pulling for you and wishing you even greater success.
You're blazing a trail in how you are developing this game and the way that you are handling outreach and setting the template that hopefully many others will follow in the future. And in the future, some developers are going to be able to support themselves and feed their families partially because of the work that your team and others like you are doing at the moment and for the past few years.
To be honest, at first we started posting an update each 2 weeks. But, due to the amount of request for us changing our schedule to one update each week, I hired a programmer and started focusing on editing and rendering the videos. It might seem like we are publishing updates with less content but it's the opposite. For example, before (when we were publishing an update each 2 weeks), when we were publishing an update, the average amount of videos in it was something around 20. For the past 3 months, we haven't published an update content with less than 30 videos. Plus, without respecting that insane update publishing rate, our revenues wouldn't be so high believe me we tried reducing it and we had a -47% of revenue that month.
Listening to customers and not biting potential one is something very difficult. You guys might not realize, but we receive a lot of hate, especially due to our revenues. In one year we became the second most supported game. Something that also seems weird considering the low amount of reviews (and the average stars) we have here compared to game that makes way less than us. I'm studying economics and I have been experimenting a few things with this game, which led me to the conclusion that the porn games market is very weird and that there are a lot of variables to take into account.
I do not consider myself as a prophet or the one that has the magical formula to make a successful game. This adventure was mainly possible thanks to the 2 other idiots I'm making this game with. I'm certainly making more money than a lot of developers here, but I also invested way more than them. I'm earning way more then 3k with the game but almost 70% of the revenues are used for the development of the game.
Wish you to have a nice day, and thanks again for the support
Glad you like it and thanks. Something that also makes me laugh is that it was my birthday yesterday and while people meant happy anniversary to the game I also kinda receive way more "happy birthday" than usual haha.Happy Anniversary and Kudos to you and your amazing team for such a fantastic game
Hey there, you can't miss anything. We made the game that way. Just follow progress app (phone in the right sidebar) to know how to progress with each girl. A wiki is also being made, we should be done in april.Is there a start to finish walkthrough that gets you through the most content? I hate having to randomly try things to get content, while maybe missing other stuff
