TBH I've no fucking idea but I hope for him that he has other income (I think he works as a freelance for other stuff) as it's not enough to live off only with his patreon since he's supposed to live in Italy. Or he's retired, disabled or something.
One thing is sure, he lost his passion for the game.

His income from JOHN is not sufficient to live in the centre-north Italy where he moved. So I guess he has a proper job. Unless he married a rich Italian woman.
How do we know it's not enough? There are very cheap poor towns all around Italy and the welfare state stands strong in the Old world.
Shame to see this game has not progressed in more than a year. I just discovered it a few weeks ago and it's sad this is another great AVN with a developer that doesn't deliver and doesn't clearly communicate why.
Can't understand devs that simply won't state anything, wonder if they ever had any other jobs and just didn't ever update their bosses.

The number of lesbian focus AVN's that have been abandoned sickens me, genuinely just don't even make the game if you have no intentions of finishing it. We niche gamers are tired of being bait and switched. Also, I buy finished products on steam or other platforms only, I don't do patreon support for this very reason. (yes, I buy games I already played if they are good)
Design a story (from start to finish), estimate how many renders you need to tell it, estimate how much time each render takes to create, then simply make the game and sell it as a finished product. This early access, monthly subscription model for paying for a game that 99% of the developers abandon is not a sustainable method. Until everyone stops subscribing to these pay per month platforms, devs will continuously do this to us. They do NOT need your monthly money to make a living. The only reason they claim they do is because they can't properly scope their game. Make it episodic, make it a short story, do something other than string people along for years and years with an unfinished product.
People made finished games before Patreon, it's not impossible no matter what the developers might insist regarding "cost of living" etc. Just make a good complete game, and sell it for a reasonable fixed price on a storefront, repeat.
MODS, Please add the abandoned tag to this game.

Not that I disagree with the overall message but this is far from lesbian focused.
There's no abandoned tag because there's rules to this shit! Dev still communicates and it hasn't been 18 months since an update.

Well I know because... I live in the same region as Stoper's. And there is no "poor towns" here. Life is cheap in the South, not from Rome and above. You can find a relatively cheap rent in a few countryside villages but still he cannot live with what he gets after Patreon fees and our taxes. He moved from Hungary that is far more cheaper than here. Welfare is good, he probably gets good care if he's got health issues but you don't pay bills with that.
