That doesn't answer my set of questions and Threshold is a poor comparison. They're willing to work on the game full time at 750 a month, which is 9000 a year. Depending on where you live, that can be way below the poverty line, and that's not even including Patreon's cut. What they're making even now, 3500 a month, is still only about average in some places, and it took them years of work to grow it to that point. It's unrealistic to think that everyone can accept that sort of income.Yeah, that's the thing. Patreon devs would be expected a $10-30/hour pay.
Do the maths, see how many work hours were effective, how much each was tariffed; after deducing the artwork commissions, of course. See Monster Girls Dreams for a comparison (unless Threshold also gets to that point, ultimately.)
Getting paid over $100/hour is frankly out of the question. Or you're a genius showing outstanding results
But again, that doesn't actually say anything about how much work is actually being put into this game.
