Did Patreon stop showing people fundraising goals? I'm curious if Caribdis is met all of his goals or how far he is from reaching the next one

Aw man why does this game have to be so goood?! I just wanted a good story to fap to. Not go on an emotional roller-coaster! Imma Gru not gonna unload all my thoughts here bc I'm not trying to leave a review. I just- oh man, the story, the music, the characters, the graphics, all of it so good. The sexual content is almost secondary and I ain't even mad about it. It makes wish there was a gallery for just the nonsexual climatic moments like Delilah Warren or the Boggles or "Bullshit" bro that scene sent me and the music didn't help. It's probably why Alex is my fav even tho every girl has compelling arguments to be the best girl. I need to see how this story asap and I hope it ain't shit. Be quite a shame to end a phenomal story like a premature nut. It won't, but it would be a damn shame

He has over 5.8k supporters (each giving a minimum of $3), and he still can't hire extra help? That comes out to over $208k per year, but I guess that's before patreon's cut and various taxes. He deserves every cent, but damn, I wonder how much more does he need before he can justify hiring

He has help from someone for the animations and from NiiChan for some of the background scenes, i don't see why he needs to hire more people, if he can keep this pace and this quality while being almost alone just let him doing so.

He already has extra help. He has an extra animator helping him out in scenes since 0.6 and a writing editor. And as Elyxus mentioned, he has people like Niichan (dev of My Bully Is My Lover) and those in the HS2 modding community that he commissions for things like background sets, outfits, props, the works.

Only person he DOESN'T have is a dedicated composer. But good luck trying to find that to work on an indie AVN without shelling out the big bucks and taking a significant hit in the production schedule.

Hopefully one composer might be willing to join the project one day, and at least atm no one from the songs Cari has used so far has told him to remove any songs, just like what happened to a few projects iirc.

It helps that his game isn't available on Steam and that HS2 AVNs are still essentially niche so the possibility of him getting the attention of some litigious composer/artist/song owner/record holder is pretty low compared to AVNs on Steam.

P.S. Dalia and Alex going at Orion is going to be epic.

And Alex here was measuring the protagonist's "nine-inch salami" as she spoke to her "beloved twin brother" Axel. And she got to taste it a few updates later:

Alex's dear gluttonous friend will follow suit, one update later at least.

Aren't these just one update apart? I know we lose track, but ...

We need to recognize a few things here:
Patreon keeps 5% from that money plus conversions and processing fees and so on.
Also $200k might sound like a good amount if it would be a salary, he is essentially self-employed. So that entails a lot of additional costs depending on where he lives to cover insurances, retirement, taxes and so on that would otherwise often (at least partially) be covered by an employer.

So while he should be able to live comfortable with his money in pretty much any country, it is probably a bit less than it might initially seem. And yes, I'm well aware that 200k is the lower limit here, it is probably more in absolute terms. I just wanted to say that people shouldn't just think he simply gets all money he makes on Patreon as a lump-sum and can do with it what he wants.
