Here's how:I was reading old updates to see if they've gone anywhere and in their state of 2023 news post they casually mentioned that they lost their entire original programming team except for one guy and had to train an entirely new team. Like, the fuck? How do you lose your entire team except one guy? That seems important enough to get more explanation than a footnote in a tl;dr progress report. I didn't even see anyone talking about it aside from when their old lead quit.
Also "it's the programmers fault" is extremely ironic since that's one of the reasons s-purple gave for nuking Breeding Season.
You get $20k / month and the dev team get "exposure on the Discord"; for bonus points, you employ 14-18 yr olds[1]. (For reference: a decent animator costs about $100k / yr salary, knocking out H+ content for this isn't that hard, nor is it "impossible". Well done, your game update after a year now has 40+ scenes and you still made $120k pre taxes and you probably get to claw back multiple Patreon subs that you lost being clueless).
The usual excuse in these cases is "the dev(s) are young themselves and totally clueless". In this case, they're now at least in their mid 20's.
