I know this is a discussion board and everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I think you really need to cut this dev some slack. He has produced 4 years worth of regular work and produced one of the better AVNs out there. I have said this so many times in this forum, but developing these games is hard, especially for one person, plus, if you do it the right way, it's expensive. Sure Daz3d is free, but the assets are not and that's where they make their money. Everything you see in the scene, the hair, props, location, clothing... everything is an asset you have to pay for and then you have to pay a licensing fee on top of the cost of the asset so you can use it in a paid production.
Then there are the renders. You could spend an hour setting up one scene because you have to stage the scene, set the lighting and do some spot rendering to make sure it is going to look okay. Then, when you actually render the image, the render can be anywhere from just a few minutes to hours depending on the complexity of the image and the hardware they dev has. And this is hoping you don't have to re-render, because an article of clothing doesn't fit right, or a foot is sinking into the floor or a hand is clipping through a countertop or the lighting isn't quite right. Of course there is the writing and editing and finally the coding. Ren'py is not a difficult language but it does take some time to be competent.
And this is being done by one dude. Some people can pull the whole solo developer off, like Dr. Pink Cake. Regardless of what you think of the AVN, the dude produces and has it figured out, but for most of us, it is a slog to run one of these things alone.
Personally, I am grateful for the 4 years of producing this AVN. It was one of my favorite MCs to play.
