Telltale develop for a year or more before the first episode is released. They can release them quickly because it is a release strategy, not a cycle. Almost everything is done, aside from polish, before that first episode releases.

I wasn't trying to imply that TT created the episodes in just a months time, just that it's a good release cycle for VNs.

I wouldn't call earning more than 10k/month a "hobby":

Caribdis himself gets like 20k clean (avg 29k minus 20% VAT and minus 5% patreon).

Does someone have a picture of the new Relationship-Screen? It seems my dream of Caly having her own category might come true.The preview had a few seconds of uncensored gallery in there. So yes, Youtube nuked Cari for posting porn.

Wouldn´t mind any of them.
Apart from Dalia, which everyone pretty much agrees is a sure thing, I would think it will be this:
1 - Dalia (no ass smashing for now)
2 - Annie´s first penetration sex scene
3 - Something lewd with Calypso (probably bj)
4 - On this one, I´m still betting on a surprise threesome.

He did foreshadow us, Luna/Annie Threesome. We also go to the space server with, surprise, Luna and Annie. So... maybe. It will be to soon, though.

The AVN's biggest flaw has been fixed! Well, not completely but still...

Personally, I don't like how the new title screen seems less immersive compared to the first one, but I guess it's a bit better than looking at a brick wall.

All I want is more Dalia facefucking
It's not. It's a decent income: for a single worker.
Caribdis pays for his animator, and outsourcing others things, on top of his electric use (I use HS2 Studio and it is constantly 100% load on my 3070, it's really inefficient when idle). His pre tax take home after costs is probably more like 15k, which is still under $200k per year and the sort of figure you need to raise a family on a single income in a developed nation.
It is not a figure you can pay employees a decent wage on. This was the key part of my statement and why I stated that only the scam lord DarkCookie and Dr Pink Cake have the monthly income to have a team.
Any AVN dev with 1k patrons can call it their job, rather than a hobby - but how many can boast that? I'm often looking at Patreon pages. It's only in the last year that Pale Carnations has crossed this number, despite being the highest rated title here for years. Outstanding titles like Leaving DNA have only 300.
The fact is, most are only able to treat it like a hobby. Caribdis being able to take home the same money as a middle-level google employee is a massive anomoly. DPC and DC bringing in 50-100k per month is an even greater anomoly.

I mean seeing how both her and EMPRESS CARTA I are prime HAG material was the outcome ever in doubt?
Just look at them. THEY'RE SCREAMING TO BE BREED
And yes, for all of those uninitiated, this is a 4Chan meme that got mainstream with the birth of VTubers..... Especially MamaTubers. And now, a creative reading of the trend:

Better be a Calypso scene, my balls can't be dried without her.

You are kinda delusional if you think that $200k/year is something normal. Anywhere in the world $100k is GOOD SALARY.

Yep, if she can do something like that using only her hands, who knows what will happen when she uses her whole body

It should be obvious that Cari makes good money with the game, yes. But one point actually is, that it isn't a salary and depending on the country (Cari lives in Spain as far as we know), you have to pay a lot more as a self-employed worker or contractor than you would have to with a salary. Stuff like health insurance, pension funds, taxes and so on will generally cost a lot more for Cari than for someone working at a company even living in the same area as him. At least that's how it is in most countries.
Where did I say it wasn't?
To make it clear: If Cari is living in Barcelona or Madrid, $180k is a very good salary, and if he is in a smaller city, or out in the sticks, it's even better; which is why I compared it to mid-level employees at a big tech firm. But it still isn't enough to be able to employ multiple people with very specific and unusual skills (Studio Neo V2, 3D animation, sexual content creation).
And considering how much mainstream creators make in film and video games, I'm not sure, given the sheer number of downloads Eternum gets, that Cari would be all that happy taking home $60k so he could employ two other people to speed up development. You make something this popular and get a 33% uplift from the median US salary, you wonder what you're leaving on the table.
We're not talking about enterprise-level money here, where the founding of a company is possible.
It gets really annoying, really fast, when people quote you out of context repeatedly on the same damn conversation.
