I've shared a reasonable amount of things on this site, but never from a Dev that needs the support AND has a free release schedule. ( He say's at the end of this update that he's hoping to go full time soon. )
Yeah, he doesn't have many paying members. Definitely deserves more. I was patron for few months now and just upped it now for a bit extra for release.
They aren't as hard-up as some devs, considering they are getting anywhere from

Honestly, one thing that I think is somewhat underappreciated is that where each dev lives matters a lot in these things. I have been to countries where you can live a pretty upper class and nicely comfortable life with the equivalent of that much monthly, and I have been to countries (America) where that much is basically below minimum wage. So where one lives matters a lot in these matters.

People who dont have enough money will anyways never subscribe and wait for a leak so it doesnt matter if it is leaked today or tomorrow or a few days later.It only matters if people who still have enough money and donot subscribe by playing for free as soon as the leaks drop then that will be a problem for the developers.I hope people who have enough money subscribe new Devs like this so that people who cannot pay can enjoy the leaks.People keep complaining about the lack of Good AVNs but fail to understand the big picture which is
1.Thhe game should reach maximum people
2.Majority of them should subscribe
3.So that people who cant pay can enjoy and keep the interest in game alive among majority of the players.Think about it guys not every one who plays big titles like Beingadik etc are subscribed but enough people subbed to let free2play gamers enjoy and keep the interest in game rising.
Hopefully it happens with game of hearts as well.It is a balance guys.Hope more people subscribe so that we can have leaks as soon as possible like in the case of BAD or Eternum they got out in a few hours . Respect to the Devs and his patrons.Much appreciated.Thank you

2k doesn't sound much for this scenario, especially depending on where you live. Also, 2k is this month, because it's a release month. Your link clearly shows he mostly gets about 1.3K-15K, which is kinda scraps. I earn almost 2k at my current job and that's a stable job with benefits and employer covering some of the social security contributions.
If I'd earn 1.3K on average while making a game, I'd shit my pants when I'd see my electrical bills, while also having to cover for social security and all that working a job with questionable certainty and future. I can understand why this dev can't afford to do it full time atm.

Just saying. Of course there are others in even worse situations, but that doesn't mean this guy is living in mansion or something.

It is good anywhere since as of this moment it is not their full time job, so they have secondary income supporting their hobby (which is making porn games).
Retarded logic tbh. That's like saying to a painter who painted a piece of art for you outside of his main work as an automechanic "hey, 20€ is enough for this painting, since you already have another job". Painting is worth exactly the same amount, whether he works anywhere else or not. He had to put same effort and time into making that painting.

Where do you even draw the line with your logic? If he earned 5k in his main job, would that mean he should be making games / paintings for free? Seriously, I never talk smack to anyone here about piracy, whether you play it day one or not, whether you support any dev or not, I don't care, I know it's a pirate site. But that doesn't mean you have to be stupid and have unreal expectations. "oh, please, invest all your money you earned for your food, put it in your game and make sure to release update every 2 months and be happy with the few patrons you have, I mean you can always eat less potatoes and drink only water". Smh.

On the first page it is already clear that the branch belongs to dev, I don't know about the rest. But I am sure that dev very rarely visits f95

Effectively none. If someone ends up leaking and we update the thread, if the dev has ownership of the thread they CAN mess with it and remove links, but then they'll quickly lose thread ownership (seen it happen today actually). And they can't ban anyone, only moderators+ can do that.

None, I mean they can ban/block them on Patreon and they can never subscribe to them again, and some people actually won't leak for that reason as they like getting the game early, but also don't like to leak stuff. Some people you will never change their minds, they just won't leak it.

Yeah, last I saw they haven't been here in a while, I'm sure they are aware, but are not to bothered by it.

I've seen it happen many times. Developers removed links to an update a few times, thankfully restoring the thread is easy.

But, don't worry, I suggest keep an eye on reports in the next 30 minutes or so :whistle:

Yeah. Let it not distract them. I'm sure the absence of dev is due to his work on the game/updates. I hope he continues in the same spirit and gets more support.
