a year ago, i tried to create a game like this, made at least 5 renders every single renders its hard for me to create, after all i am still a beginner. I think i can managed creating it in renpy, i still have vivid memories how to create codes for it before i decide creating those, and i decide to stop cause of my english capabilities but if i was very good at the things i mentioned
i could probably making one.
You know, at least $800 to $1000 dollars in the first year of making is already a good deal, with that kind of income in first year is already enough to make better game for your next project. especially in my country where i reside.
I guess we can really compare ourselves from everyone, after all we have different tolerance, understanding you know things like that. I don't even know whats the nationality of this dev. Maybe an American? If he is. thats probably the reason why. Income not good for the nation he lives in.
What's more frustrating is, knowing that i could deliver things in time but others don't. The only problem for me is that i am still far from being a newbie. After i quit creating those renders. The story that i was planning to make as a game turn into just a writing. I don't wanna tell which site i write it on, it was somewhat embarrassing to let the people here know especially my english. but the genre was cuckolding ,incest, mind control , female domination. you know if you connect the dots you could get the idea of what it is.
Going back to dev, hope he release in time and be frequently communicating with his supporters.
