I get a bit worried when checking the patreon and see they want to see a minimum of 2500 USD a month to keep work on the project or they will cancel it. Imho that is not the right way to entice people to support the project. Adult games on patreon build a fan base and grow income over time.
I agree with everything but mainly and hugely this part right here, If you are working on a project then make sure you are doing it correctly, if you are here for just the money even if that amount would have been 500 instead of 2500, I would find it sketch and not want to invest my time in your project because the moment you fall off because of mistakes or greed ( already greed since you technically are attempting to blackmail in to paying ) or whatever other reason that makes it fall off a few months in a row the game will be made to stop because the "correct" monthly amount has not been achieved.
The art looks good and I have not played it yet and the moment I saw that goal post I was like hell no, I am staying away from this one till I see either complete or abandoned.
Not even 3 days ago I was in another thread about another game that had a dev keep quiting or abandoning games and starting a new when the money or amount of patreons he had was not up to his expectation.
And that he/she whatever was pretty much doing something similar to this or so I have gathered from people who know that Dev better. I even had to ask for a background simplified explanation and it came down to this. Now given that this art style is a whole different deal compared to the one that was previously used I would say they are not the same person.
Also another thing... The moment people put these goals up my first thought isn't about game finishing my first thought comes to milking. If you wanted big bucks in one go they could have gone and sold it on steam or make a full product and set it up on steam for sale or mutli platform website sale. But the reason they choose patreon is so they can continue on getting that cash stream in from doing a minimal monthly work. That is what I feel when people have a set goal on money that must be made in an X amount of time. Also what is going to hold them back that when the goal is reached that they go out of their way to raise it by another 500 or even a 1000 in the next few months ?
There is a whole lot of sketch stuff that a person like this gives off.
