I can only assume that some new life circumstances require him to return to a higher paying job other than game development.
because no matter what, you can't quit your job( if game dev is his main job), because bills always have to be paid, unfortunately.
Yeah trust me there are just a few jobs better payed than what he was earning on patreon and one of them is the president of Romania... soo i'm very sure this is not the reason why quit, he was making bank with this game for the country where he is...

lets do some math......

1 USD = 4.82 Romanian Leu

+- $9,000.00 USD per month = $43,380 Romanian Leu

A family of four estimated monthly costs are $2,147.0 (10,308.50 lei) without rent.
A single person estimated monthly costs are $618.4 (2,969.20 lei) without rent.
Cost of living in Romania is, on average, 47.0% lower than in United States.
Rent in Romania is, on average, 76.0% lower than in United States.

this guy is buying a really nice house :)

go go royalcandy, start popping out those babies
He wasn't doing 9k per month you can see his patreon its around 5k which is still very, very good for Romania...

I think Steam was his only other AVN income source. Not sure where you got the $3k drop, says he's down $1,200 over the past 30 days, and most of that appears to be a return to normal drop after each release spike.

I hope you're all doing well. I wanted to share some news that I received this past Saturday, which has had a big impact on my life and made me reconsider my priorities. After much thought, I’ve made the difficult decision to pause all activities related to RoyalCandy for the time being.

This wasn’t an easy choice for me, especially considering how much your support has meant in helping me live my dream of becoming a game developer and achieving financial stability. I’m incredibly grateful to you all for making that possible, and it’s tough to step away from something I’ve worked so hard on. But right now, this is the best decision I can make.

While I’ve always aimed to be open and honest with you, I can’t go into details about what’s going on personally. What I can do is pause all billings, so no one will be charged moving forward. It wouldn’t feel right to continue accepting payments without being able to deliver the work you expect, like some others might do in similar situations.

Thank you so much for the past seven years. It’s been an absolute pleasure being part of this community, and I’m deeply grateful for your support. I’m not sure when, or if, I’ll be back, but for now, I have to say goodbye.

Take care,
Jason

That above means what exactly it means, that the game is on PERMANT HOLD, and it MAY NOT come back.

So, yes, this might be the end of RoyalCandy (Jason), and No More Money, and any other games he had in the works :cry:

I wish you luck Jason, my dad had a heart attack 3 days ago, so I can relate to sometimes you have to step away, because life is more important.
Thank you for sharing the update with us plebs SoL. I'm sorry to hear about your father and I wish him a speedy recovery.
Jason, I hope you can work out whatever you need in your life and that you'll come back to developing games in the future.
Best of luck to both of you.

Sad to see this happen to yet another great game, but life takes priority so hopefully whatever he has going on can be sorted out and this can continue at some point, although it seems to be unlikely. GL to Jason in his future endeavors though

I hope that RC can overcome whatever challenges he faces, not just to come back and produce a quality game, but in general. Life has its ups and downs and it can be difficult sometimes, but refocusing where you're needed is a must and sometimes you have to reinvent yourself or make drastic changes to salvage who or what you love. There's no shame in it.
I hope one day he's back and completes what I feel is one of the games I most anticipate to see updates. Good Luck!

This was the Best INC game I ever played, I hope Dev is well and take care of himself first, let him rest and comeback to atleast to finish the game and retire permanently after its finished for the sake of his fans.

This is serious sad and bad news. First I want to whish RC all the best and may the force be with him!

This game is in my top 5 of best games here on the site. I will definitely miss it! The only we have now is to replay our saves and whishing the game to continue. Worst thing is missing the steamy sex with Denise which was in the planning.
