I think the developer has figured out the recipe to make more money from the game (as have so many others).
dude this game's been coming out for 2 years and he makes only a few hundred per month off it, likely much less than min wage if you were to average out his total income over the total amount of the hours he's spent on the project.

it's pretty clear that he's just doing it as a hobby - if he wanted to actually make money then he'd be licking patreon's boots rather than going for subscribestar

Can confirm this is the case, he never made enough for full time. I haven't gotten any recent messages from him so hopefully he's just busy IRL, like always.

Also I'm just gonna post the information I posted on the discord here.

Yeah it makes sense he can't make a living with this or a site hustle so just want more content, I hope he can revise the patreon ban and try to get it through another way most devs do like step or friend and release the incest version in the subscribestar, but what with the emo MC hairstyle final fantasy wannabe look

Like yeah, I get it for games where the dev is clearly milking with tons of subs, but HotTomato never got that much support, had many issues in the way, and yet is still going hard at it because he likes doing it in the little free time he has.
It's a bit sad.
For me it's one of the top 10, maybe top 5 games on this website, but it has far too few supporters.

There are developers who release a terrible demo and then you don't hear anything from them, and they have more supporters.
I don't understand it. Is it a marketing thing? A word of mouth thing? I don't know.

It's called short attention span. It's why youtube is filled with shitty mind numbing shorts now unless you use adblock filters, or why most triple A games are pure garbage. But I guess it's mostly luck and marketing dependant too if the VN isn't a harem incest daz3D out of the box.

[...] "if the VN isn't a harem-incest-Daz3D from the start." -> is that a project for your next game? I'd be in :ROFLMAO:
