milking is not special for this game. All games in this site start with good pace after some time dev becomes lazy / lose interest etc because money is keep coming why should he invest too much time ?
Lazy ? lose interest ?
You saying it without proof is not enough...
You expect people to agree with you on that just because you say it ?
And I will speak more frankly, I do not intend to be brutal... just direct and straight... You claim to be a game dev seasoned enough to say people should follow what you say... Therefore, I can be demanding with you...
Remember our last talk about popular games and you saying MC should be a slut from beginning... You did not shine there... Plot is neither good nor bad, it is a matter of choice. Period...
Mr dots games like
Dating my Daughter or
Melody are perfect counterexamples about what you said (better if MC to be sluts at beginning) and even your lame criterion (F95 thread page number) speaks against you...
Hence, I do not find your words reliable and enough convincing
without proof...
Provide proof and we can talk again about that matter...
Rely on facts to stand a chance to see reality rather than just imagining what reality may be and trying to convince people to agree with you.
I do not say this dev does the perfect job either... He has still a lot to improve... I said it here many times...
From what I guessed, he must especially improve in project management... He is good at the coding part (very few bugs and often none) but his animations has to improve and I think he wastes too much energy trying to do his best (too perfectionist)...
In my opinion, the dev is dedidacted and willing to work... Who is right ? Who is wrong between the two of us ?
about language, come on man, in this era someone needs to be so stupid not to understand anything. This is a porn game, how many other game spends time for translation ? It is not Witcher story, how hard you should need translation ?
I don't know single German, but I can watch German porn movies perfectly and I understand the story/plot just fine
for render and animation and 4k, You don't need that high quality, it is not needed. if it is watchable than it is good. If you don't make so high quality renders, it will take less. Ask yourself. What people want ? 250 renders with 4k or 1000 renders with full hd or 2000 renders with hd ?
I agree !!
How can I make you understand I agree with you on that matter ?? You always speak to me about that as if I agree with the dev ...
The difference between us (you and me) is I respect the dev's decisions !!
He says to be alone making this game and then
he is tech lead on HIS project.
Despite I do NOT agree with his decisions about languages and remastering, they are not bullshit !!
He posted about that last year before starting working on it, no subscriber can say he/she has been fooled ! If I had come to the conclusion such work would take too much time for my taste (I am alone to decide on that matter !!),
I would have left subscription to come back later at the beginning of the dev of season 2
There is also no milking here !!
This is a porn game, everybody wants to see more scenes, more contents more hot stuff, so quantity > quality in this case.
That is YOUR opinion (bold + underlined) and not the dev's... As I said, he is tech lead (being the only dev). Neither you nor me are legit to question that matter. Period...
about animation: animations are mostly repetitive scenes. Think about 5 mins walking anim for a character, do you need to make her walk for 5 mins ? no, you just make 3 4 sec walking cycle and loop it for 5 mins. Your work is for that 4 secs.
ok sex scenes are more complex because 2 model interact with each other and you need to make it they are actually holding each other. But again, watch the sex scenes in the game, they are very short anims just looped for longer.
and good thing is you have already a rigged character, there are lots of animations you can retarget your character. There are other games too so you can take their anims and use for yours.
I'm not saying it's not hard, I'm saying it's not hard enough to take half a year. You are not making Short film or some Pixar scene come on.
watch this, he is creating models from scratch and takes 18 days. Even if you need to learn Blender from ground zero, you can do it in 3 months maybe short if you invest enough time in it.

Compare the complexity of above video with 2-3 sec looped-sex-scene-games in this site.
I reply about your video first...
How do you want me to compare the work on the video and the work made here by the dev ?
The guy on your video seems to know well his job...
I am not an expert but how many years it takes to be that efficient ?
I think your guy (on your video) is far more experenced than the dev of this game
A while ago, I showed him that video in PM Discord (I posted it like a friendly troll) :
You must be registered to see the links
He replied to me he still has a lot to learn before being able to make such animation...
It also depends on tools you use and how you know them...The guy on your video uses Blender, I do not think the Renpy/DAZ engine to be that powerful from what I saw here and there in games...
You seems to think devs here are all veteran developers...
Go back on Earth, some devs from this forum (not this one) are total beginners in development (some are even still students)...
Look at the developer's notes of
that page posted today...
