GIVE ME THE BOOK! I NEED IT! I have -$0.29 in my bank and don't have a line of credit.
Lol, I like to check up on this thread to see what updates we got while I am working a construction job and trying to get into game development. I pray the dude is super humble at least, but I'm not in his discord nor do I talk to him.
Anyone got the link to the updates with images?
so the thing is he'd been one of the pioneers in the adult game industry specifically the rapey, forced, incesty stuff that is desired by most of the PAYING customers. he's had 3 or 4 full and 2-3 short games already completed prior to milfy city but due to the changes in patreon TOS they are not available on the page, you can find them here or on his website. then when he released milfy city with much better CG (at that time) his following skyrocketed. can't deny what he has done in the past to gain such a cult like following which is probably the biggest reason why people still pay him.
But, he's taken that support for granted and repeatedly lied to and took advantage of his supporters since then, which is why the hate is so strong against him.
If you really want to be successful in today's market which is already saturated with so much porn content you will need to stand out quite a lot. just good CG isn't gonna cut it anymore. there are far too many factors involved for a person to be able to do it alone, let alone part-time. many creators have been swayed looking at what the top earners make any start games but very quickly abandon them because people aren't as quick to show their support anymore. and with OF and other such websites being on the rise in recent years it's even harder to get that support, simply because they can push out content every few weeks with minimal effort without the restrictions on patreon. and also most prefer live action to animated.
unless you have like an outstanding rig that can help you pump out large updates consistently you are looking at atleast 2-3 years of development just to get to like $2k-3k, and even that if your game is good and your updates are consistent and the content is worth weeks or month long wait.
