just a random bystander. the reason why we have so much milking going on is because summertime saga who is on the front started milking patreons by slowly delaying releases from 2 months to 3 months then to 4 months and finally 5 months and half a year. Everyone who sees this shit will like to do this too.
It's just really easy to do if you cater to any niche. This game specifically caters to furries but Summertime Saga has a variety of fetishes.
Sex sells in general though, and since updates are so few and far between most of the patrons are ghosts, that is, they've forgotten they're being drained of $5 every month and don't really check anymore. It's really easy for an amateur game developer to see money before anything's done and just... sit on it. They're rewarded for not working essentially.
Anywhere else there would have to be some kind of direction, deadlines, and project landmarks to reach. Kojima got fired because he was rebuilding every project he worked on at least 3 times from scratch and because of it most MGS games feel rushed halfway through, along with other rumoured stuff. Revengeance wasn't even finished properly because he changed the scope entirely twice, it was an RPG, then open world like Zelda, then Devil May Cry but by then Konami had a gun to his head.
There's no such accountability or pressure on Patreon or Steam's Early Access although you're more likely to hear complaining and criticism on Steam for some reason and also more progress because Steam has refunds, you're also often seeing people, indie devs, who have external Publishers that'll pressure them to meet deadlines.
Why does Krystal move so slow, even when running. Makes the game so slow and tedious to play especially the internal monologues constantly.
I remember the playshapes game had a lot more porn and none of this bullshit grinding. This is like a remaster nobody asked for.
Yeah.. I dunno why it's like that, they made the map more linear but she still moves super slow.
The dragging the cauldron thing to the waterfall is SUCH a chore.
