But making a game like this is just so much fun in and of itself, it never feels like a chore. I never look at the next task on the seemingly never-ending list of things to do with anything but great anticipation to get stuck in and wrap it up, so I can see the end result, and move a few inches closer to getting this thing out there for people to play.
You're a lucky man to enjoy the process so much even though you spend thousands of hours on it.
Since you have 1203 patrons, would it be possible for you to quit your main job and only work on the game ?
Another highly regarded developer, RoyalCandy, managed to do that recently and he only has 853 subscribers.

Quitting one's main, reliable job (which supports his family and he might also love that job as well, who knows) to develop porn games for potentially very unreliable revenue stream is a huge ask of a dev :) Think for most people, is not remotely worth it. Think he said he made ~minimum wage from this game and if his main job makes even a little more than that, or hell what if he makes $100k/yr, it's like, damn woah, keep that job Naughty! :LOL:

Plus, take a look at some actual porn sites or file hosting sites for porn games and how suddenly payment-problems can hit you out of nowhere, just because someone decided to clean up their site/investment portfolio for a sell or because a bank suddenly decided "that's dirty business" ...
You'd either have to be insane to take the risk, or already have such a big and loyal following, that you can make a transition to steam (and then possibly set up your own server somewhere with totally not official mods&patches *caugh caugh*)

Hi naughtyroad,

I must tell you that Macy
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Please do not take this as fawning; you surely took me in to the story. I found myself asking for more and more…Overall the game is way beyond its class but especially Macy is built different. With all my respect, wish you great success with this piece of art. Impatiently waiting for the chapter 7…

Thanks…

  1. he already works on this full time - more than 2000 and 2500 clocked hours each year for at least the past 3 years. And has a steady job, besides.
  2. also, none of our business.
  3. and because.
  4. for good measure, see: #12,144 and #12,145 just 5 and 6 posts above yours.
(strange how two people with the same question that rarely gets asked both ask on the same day, same page, same afternoon... less strange is that a person doesn't skim the last page or two or use the search function for their question before asking it)

Yeah, it wasn't until I had to retire a few years early due to disability that I felt free enough to splurge and buy a good rendering computer (though still ironing out problems), and really commit.

For those wondering and still asking why the dev won't do this full time.

1. What the dev does or doesn't do with his daytime job is none of our business. Patreon also does not work in a way that you can demand shit from a dev, company, project. Bought as advertised. If the patreon page states "tip jar, your money supports me greatly etc." it is exactly that.

2. If patreon decides tomorrow your project is not to their liking a dev can lose 100% of his income in a matter of days or even hours. You would have to be insane to actually agree to that. Steam is a different story for now but no one knows if they change their mind again.

3. A day time job is a steady income of money while a patreon project (regardless which) can run great with massive support or absolutely horrible also in a matter of days.

4. If you want a dev or project (regardless which) to actually produce an update, game, project faster and to your liking you have the following options.

A: Throw a ridiculous amount of money at them. (nothing below 500k a month) Thats about the amount you need to start a 2 man company and not fail in the first three months. (Those 2 however have to work their asses off) That will speed up the game dev process round about 10%. If you want to increase that you have to increase the money distribution accordingly.

B: Add something to the project. You can code? animate? have other skills that can make the process involved in said project way faster or easier? Awesome. Offer your help, guidance and get your game maybe faster?

C: Take over the entire thing. You can do better? Your skills are superior? Nice. Make your own game. Same models, same story, same renders and show us how you do all that in half the time, better quality and way faster updates continuing forward.

If those options are not to your liking or you disagree feel free to write about it while we wait for the coming update. However be prepared that if you just want the updates to be faster while adding nothing to the process, patreon or have no clue about game developing we will probably tear you verbally a new exit on your lower back end. :ROFLMAO:
