It's definitely tricky. I think there is potential to continue earnings if the game gets popular enough and more people purchase it over time. But, we almost must not forget Steam's cut and also, government taxes

ttricks definitely good at this, and i really hope he gets enough support to go full time after the release. if thats not the case, i hope he considers bringing in help. this games far too good to have people losing interest due to extreme dev cycles. i really want him to succeed. anyways, thanks for the info, lab.

The chances of him letting someone else do renders is probably absolute 0 and that's what takes the most time. If the game were to take off and he could quit his normal job, then we'd likely see faster releases. Few devs get that kind of support, though, sadly.

Same here. Currently supporting 9 devs (used to be about 15) totaling around $102/mo. Much rather the small devs get my money.

Yeah same, sadly the mainstream public only likes college themed games that are vanilla, you go to the largest forum on reddit about avns and they always talk about the same 3 popular games. And they see something that is moderately non-vanilla and they get scared. Really annoying imo.

There are a few devs I would support but I typically only choose to support through steam for now, might start to do Itch as well but never bought from them so unsure what they are like when it comes to downloading games. But there are times I feel bad about not supporting a few from time to time that I might eventually do it at least for updates but not a fan of patron and SS vs steam if I had more money I would probably do it for sure.

yeah, I also buy them on steam when the release model is to my liking . But if they do the seasonal release or dlc or whatever then it's a no for me. I'd rather sub for a month on patreon when a new update is out.

don't get me started on reddit, and especially their "contests"... always the same fucking 5 games in every category, it's driving me nuts
i bought Esiterika on steam and plan give few months of patreon support. great new ntr game.

tbh, i feel like the patrion model incentivizes "do less, get more" theres no need to develop work efficiency, partnerships, or anything that could speed up dev cycles without dropping quality. under this system, if i put myself in a devs shoes, all of that is bad, and not worth the time or effort. thats why i agree with those that buy from steam, or only sub for the month of a release.
to be clear, im not taking a shot at ttrick, we are watching times extend all over the place. on that note, i dont want to get too off topic so.....DAAAMN my "roommate" has a great ass. you can only tease a man so much ttrick, give us emily, and no one gets hurt! lol
*mainstream public that current consumes these games. I genuinely believe the real world public has a much greater variety of sexual tastes - and that would extend to adult games they would play. Unfortunately, this market seems to be stuck in the current demographic - meaning the "REEE NTR REEE?" types (and others). Which is why I'm all for modernizing and popularizing adult games to a broader audience; itll be good for everyone except the harem ree rees. (well incest fans might suffer too
)100% - I think the model you mentioned paired with a demographic who's already inclined to be a loner; that extends to being resistent towards partnerships, group projects, etc - but all those things raise the probability of projects falling through. If anyone doesn't understand why this is relevant - imagine a real world business who said "we're going to put the entire success of our business on one guy. And no matter how many customers we get, we will never grow our team, it will all be up to one guy". Shocker then things so often go tits up.
MORE ON TOPIC: Emily (roommate to you, sister to others "girlfriend" to me
) has fantastic butt, second only to her upper half! Can't wait for more progression with her.

I don't agree in that once a person's reputation is ruined, it's difficult to come back from that. So the incentive is to keep existing and bring in more subscribers by providing new content. Of course, not all subscribers actively monitor who they are subbing to. But I do. As soon as I feel uncomfortable by the level of communication or lack of content, I'll unsub. I wish more people would approach Patreon, SubStar, etc. with that mindset.

Same here, I am currently supportin 19 devs, it's a bit much. But I do not want to cut anyone of them loose. None of them are that big and like every other supporter you hope you're making a difference.
I also try to back on SubscribeStar if possible, better for the creative freedom of the devs.

That's exactly how I look at it. For the smaller devs, every sub counts. And I know it means a lot to them. They are happy that people enjoy their game so much that they'd pay money regularly to support them.
A lot of that gets lost in the crowd that thinks everyone is milking and shit. There are milkers out there definitely. But not every dev that can't deliver on shorter intervals because they have families and jobs/careers is a milker.
