I think right now Orion rather needs her to do the opposite.Maybe she will send you to another dimension or literally split your soul from your body

It's kind of like playing a sport professionally - you're at the mercy of injury and rule changes. It could all get flushed down the toilet so quickly.Another point on the earnings discussion, given how irregular it is to have your income through Patreon, I wouldn't be surprised if creators have to pay for tax lawyers to help them. Also if it was a regular business you would be able to write off the costs related to buying equipment, assets, legal advice etc. and pay taxes on just the profit, but again because it's such an unusual situation I would expect that you have to either spend time and money fighting the tax agency or take the easy way out and just pay more taxes than you're obliged to.
Add to that how unreliable the earnings are, when fans come and go and where a change in Patreon ToS could ruin you financially, and you'd want to be paid a premium to be an AVN creator.
Patreon takes more than 5%, it’s 8% + transaction fees.I wouldn't call earning more than 10k/month a "hobby":You must be registered to see the links
Caribdis himself gets like 20k clean (avg 29k minus 20% VAT and minus 5% patreon).
Yeah, these are all good points. And it’s much harder to start working a normal job again if you’ve been doing AVNs for years.Another point on the earnings discussion, given how irregular it is to have your income through Patreon, I wouldn't be surprised if creators have to pay for tax lawyers to help them.

Not right now, no.I imagine he could make a pretty penny by selling it on Steam.

He can't as long as he's using HS2 for his renders. And considering he's planning on using it again for the next game, I doubt his work will ever set foot there unless he learns Blender in the future or something.Not right now, no.
Thank god, Daz characters look extremely uncanny, has put me off from playing many VNs just because they use Daz(And no, he explicitly cringes at the idea of using Daz3D, so don't force him on the matter )
This is very subjective, I guess. Having a bit more stylised characters like Eternum has with HS 2 can prevent them from plunging into the uncanny valley. But it can also put people off, who want to see more "realistic looking" characters.Thank god, Daz characters look extremely uncanny, has put me off from playing many VNs just because they use Daz
Yeah, that too.so many characters from different games look similar or I see the same hair style on a character that I know from a character from another game and it immediately takes me out of the game.
You are forgetting that his wife would also have a job. He doesn't need to provide for the entire family.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.
My link shows how many can boast that. DPC and DC are just 2 among at least a dozen that can pay for a team.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 world outside the USA and some specific countries doesn't pay as much as them. As I've linked above, Spain doesn't pay that much for an average worker. Cari has a much easier life than the average Spain worker - since Spain certainly has cheaper prices than the USA (for comparable cities). A guy making 12k/month in Madrid or Barcelona lives a much better life than a buy making 12k/month in Los Angeles or Phoenix, respectively. Comparison below, using the NUMBEO website: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.
No.thank you! is this game have any voiceover?
It's purely subjective, but DAZ you also have to create or purchase your assets (hairstyles, clothing, etc,) and usually you'll have to use blender as well if you're going to try and create unique models. It doesn't look like most devs are good at creating the art assets but rather just pose and use existing models. That's probably why you see that ugly blotchy gray shirt on so many male mcs.This is very subjective, I guess. Having a bit more stylised characters like Eternum has with HS 2 can prevent them from plunging into the uncanny valley. But it can also put people off, who want to see more "realistic looking" characters.
DAZ can look pretty good, but it takes skill and talent to overcome the uncanny valley. Also the assets are just ubiquitous these days. It might be, because I haven't played that many HS 1 and 2 games, but DAZ games...so many characters from different games look similar or I see the same hair style on a character that I know from a character from another game and it immediately takes me out of the game. Sometimes I even think developers design some characters very deliberately to look similar to characters from more successful games.
Compared to that Eternum's cast just looks pretty unique...outside of very obvious copies of the game by some developers, that I can very easily ignore.
Counting someone else's money is interesting, I'm going to join.You are forgetting that his wife would also have a job. He doesn't need to provide for the entire family.
And in no way 200k/year is 'decent' - it's awesome.
What. The. Fuck.I'm just in the middle of the story so far but is there already a petition for a threesome with Mr. Hernandez and Luna?
