Update from the dev on this one in the discord, Most likely jents it's mid april. Progress is Approx 75-80%. The animations are taking the most time (Wack, a bunch had been shown prior so what happened did you scrap everything and restart?) So soon, we are only getting one enemy and a stage.

he only makes like 2k/month from his patreon, which as far as i know is his only source of income though being a dev. Ima be real, thats not even slightly livable wages in any part of my country. If hes doing this because hes greedy then hes going about it completely wrong. And pretty sure being lazy is a little different then doing absolutely nothing for 6 months at a time and delaying the single enemy update for another month after that half year. This guy either has stage 4 cancer and i should feel bad, or hes just an asshole and is laughing at our misery lol.

That 2k/mo is only right now. Check history here:

That line'd be higher and more steady if he'd put out updates more often. But then it's a question of the current living situation and if there's a proper job needed to support it with this project being "on the side", and that's why the updates are so delayed. Hard to say.

EDIT: The dip is more likely due to the switch to SubStar for the content not allowed on patreon. Posts below reminded me of this event.

If he lives in any two or third world country 2k a month is a shit ton of money.

I just want to say that its fine if they have that type of fetish, we all have our weird kinks.

That being said Doggie is biting way more than they can chew, Doggie genuinely needs to hire or get some outside help with development but they just refuse to. At least they could be polite and take criticism but they handle it in not the best way.

Doggie has a ton of talent in coding and design, its really clear to see that, and I wouldn't be as mad if they were doing this for free, but they aren't, and yes its fine if they focus on areas they personally like it is their game, but the problem is the inconsistent wait times and the fact that they are putting way too much onto one plate.

That isn't quite right.

They make 2.4K a month from Patreon, which is the non-ABDL version of the game. The full version with controversial content is hosted over on SubscribeStar and that's an additional 2k a month, so it's much closer to $52,000 a year. That's also just the people who stick around to contribute to the totals listed on both websites. In my experience, somewhere around 30% of income is people who pledge, grab stuff, and leave immediately, so it's probably a decent bit more than it appears.

And that's without updating their game or communicating any new content for almost a year.

I can totally empathise that game dev is hard, and that sometimes maintaining communication with your audience is difficult... but like, damn.

I feel like people would care a lot less about infrequent updates if Doggie Bones had smaller things made to tide people over, something like art pieces or simple animations, even just some posts about what they'd like to add in future updates or allow the people supporting him to vote on what content they'd like to see next.

^ doggie doesn't need help from the previous updates we seen, they made huge updates and such before and even shown HUGE progress only to give us just one enemy we promised so much by doggie only for them to scrap all of that or delay it so many of their progress up and disappears in favor for the ABDL updates to the daycare stage it has gotten newer art newer stuff and even more attention then the other stages. we seen the effort they could do they barely need any help

This is the thing, he doesn't even do the bare minimum content feed trickle that other scam games do. Like there are games that haven't had releases in years still making money because the creator at least posts an animation or some commissioned art, or anything.

Doggie is genuinely unique in that he basically refuses to ever actually communicate with his fans. I mean that, he has not had a public back and forth conversation on his discord in years, never responds to people and when he does talk he uses middlemen or proxies.

It's some like genuine mental illness shit. Either he's so deeply paranoid or anxious he cannot have a five minute talk publicly or he hates his community so much that he isn't actually willing to interface with them. It's why their numbers have constantly decreased, they aren't actually particularly good at being an h game scam

And yet, he's raking in moolah hand over fist with essentially no fucking effort made... I guess those furries really are a desperate bunch to bankroll a game like this while expecting (literally just) shit in return, huh? :FacePalm:

...And that is coming from a guy who's a quasi-furry himself, mind you, so I (basically) know what I am talking about on that point!

They are, hilariously, in schedule at least. It certainly wouldn't be an HHP ™ update without a combat rework or an entirely new stage added on top of the 5 other incomplete stages we have. If it were possible for AI to recreate the stuff Doggie makes, I wouldn't even blame them if they just started resorting to using AI if it accelerated their update schedule. There are extremes of "piss poor quality" at a fast rate and "amazing quality" at a molasses slow pace, and I wouldn't be opposed to a happy middleground.
