That is true but not for this Dev his intent isn't for creativity it is to suckle his patreons out of as much as possible before he actually has to put some content into the game let's be coy here hell he's even put up a $60 pay way on some content not only you need to be a patreon but you also need to fork out $60 for hidden content with the nurse girl what does he think this is a AAA game, how long have you been following this game, I myself have been since it's 1st day release to f95 it started as a VN got 1 update or so then Dev took a long break I believe game even had an abandoned tag on it because so many was complaining about the switch from VN to sandbox we was well aware that nothing good would come of that, look at were the game stands as of today nothing if your nice to the maid theres no new content unless you want to pay to be a patreon and fork $60 or you can visit the alley and if your mean to here you get raped by the tranny what the fuq is going on here I've not seen those scenes but this is what my understanding of the game is about now Dev decided instead of satisfying the paying patreons let's milk them for as much as I possibly can. I am blunt because you can not tell me for as long as this game been available even Foot of the Mountain has surpassed this in content and Foot is an extremely look game plus this game has been out before Foot, only thing noteworthy a whore that everyone is fuqn, another whore that gets molested by her employer and teacher and a damn dodo chaser no body asked for this game was never intended to be about trannies and hookers but apparently the past 7 to 8 updates has only focused on just that oh yah also bug fix and game changes. What the hell happened to the 3 beautiful women you've not even given a foot massage to huh. I never liked games that make you sneak into sleeping people rooms for content but even that has not yet been implemented into the game as of yet, so yes everyone who complains about this game has the right to do so and anyone white knighting this Dev after all this time should feel ashamed of yourself it's like you have no self respect.
There is many creators that have higher tiers that give more content though. Just because there is a higher tier that come with perks and more content doesn't mean people have to buy into it. If you look at games from example Paradox.. CK2, Stellaris etc.. They come with so many dlc's etc that feels like should be in the core game. But no one forces you to get them.
I gave up on "Foot of the mountain" because the grind was just to horrible. There is stuff I don't like in this game either. The night creeper thing is just awful. The sandbox is not one of them though. Sandboxes turn it into a game, where vn's more or less let you sit there press a key to move it forward with little challenge.
No one can say what this game was supposed to be about though. Unless you got the full script in your hand and can prove it. It's all in vilelabs head. If he wanted to introduce people having sex on top of pink unicorns.. Well that is his creative and executive decision. As a player, all you can decide if you want to keep play the damn thing or not. Or even support it. Majority here is just out for the free lunch, and the ones crying the loudest about being milked, probably haven't pledged to any game in their life before. (show me the recites...).
If you look outside adult games. A game I poured endless hours into. "Kenshi", it took the dev 12 years to complete, or rather push it into early access. Not because he was lazy, far from it. But he had to work to keep roof over his and support himself. The time it take to develop a game isn't really that important. The important thing is how much time the creator use of his "allocated time available" to work on it. If he got 4 hours a week available to work on it, that would be what? 9 full days in the length of a year. It's not like creators can pull time out of their ass at free will. Do you work? do you have a family? kids? whatever else... everything eat into your time.
According to graphtreon the guessed income is between 1k-4k a month. He got the numbers hidden, so who knows. In any case, it's not something you would quit a good job and focus full time on.
