And because of shit like this, there aren't any or many good projects these days that receive good treatment or trust. The dev of this game literally destroyed a project that was already on its way to the midpoint and shut down to make his own version just to be the only one milking people.
Wasn't even the first time he walked away from a project, just the first time he rug pulled on investors. If you remember that artist from his 4chan days you'd remember his failed attempt at making a parody of RPG's that didn't even make it past a first build because he insisted on writing the engine from scratch for some reason when RPG Maker already existed.
Not quite right..There is a Pateron fee, country taxes and so on
14000 split three ways is 4,600 a head or 55,200 a year. So immediately this discounts any major US city, and most of Europe. But we're jumping the gun a bit.
Patreon takes an 8 - 12% cut, and federal taxes are going to be another ~10%- lets assume they live in the US. They get to pay for their own health insurance, so that'll run another ~350-450 a month. They still have state taxes to pay.
The only way you could justify the cost is if you worked on it part time while you carried another full time job. And knowing S-Purple there's no way he jumped ship to make less money so it's probably not a strictly even cut.
Still no version 1.0 after so many years, why isn't it tagged as abandoned yet
Because the site tends to err on the side of the developers who insist they're still working on it and are still pushing (albeit small) updates. Making an animation heavy porn game was always going to be fraught with problems because animation is expensive and time consuming, even with modern tools. And it needs to be expensive because cheap animation looks like crap.
