The two I mentioned were actually done with professional VA. For me, I want immersion in the story and world of the VN. I'm not worried about waiting for lines to finish so long as the VA is good enough to add to the immersion versus taking away from it. If the VA is not good enough, it is a simple matter to mute it and just read the test instead.
From discussions I had on other games (non adult games but MMOs or more complex games with their own forums) this will depend a lot on the game's music and the people - and it can be a hotly contested issue. Personally, unless it is really grating, I will stay with the game's original music. Others prefer to let their K Pop playlist (or whatever it is they prefer) play as they do the whole day anyways. Others again look for music they think complements the mood of the specific game.
I´m talking only about VN´s.
Out of curiosity, have you ever played a professionally made JP VN with VA and music?
I´m refering purely on western VN`s, like the ones shared here.
I don't speak any Japanese beyond three words or so but yeah, the voices often sound fitting to the character and scene. Even more often more fitting than the MTL text appearing at the bottom.
Japanese voice acting in professional VNs are top notch. I usually only play those with fansubbing or similar, but everything fits.I don't speak any Japanese beyond three words or so but yeah, the voices often sound fitting to the character and scene.

Is that supposed to help your point? 6k is not even that much considering that they have to divide that between the 2 devs. Unless you think that they get housing and food for free and all the money goes solely to the development of the game, that amount is not really that much. Professional voice acting is not that cheap either.
yeah well maybe is no much for me too, if give myself as developer 8 to 12 hour for day, 5 days a week or so ... or even half of that ... becuase if it is like 3 hours a day even on 2moths there should be a update or so , know a bunch of people who do more * likely 3times more * renders and graphic stuf , rempy stuf on a month , but like YOU say that money is no much , yes , if you give all you 6 hours a day , .... well wahtaever the point is that they should give at least 3 to 4 hours a day it. otherwise 6 months from here we will see what was of this game ... sad it have so much potential . best wishes .
Are they working full time? Because if they work full time it makes things look a lot worse.
They claimed to be going full time if a certain Patreon goal is reached. Dunno whether they ever did.
US dollars go further just about everywhere else in the world. A huge reason why most of the porn game devs aren't American. This needs to be considered. I mean the 8 man or more team for Sad Crab in Russia splitting $20k a month from patreon are actually making a loooot more than the ~$2.5k they are making on paper.
"Almost everywhere in the world" may be true if calculated by number of countries or number of their inhabitants but (apart from the cost of renting or owning a flat in certain cities in the US) western Europe (including the north) tends to be more expensive than the US. Basic average income in Switzerland is about twice that of the US and prices reflect that. So generally speaking you can buy less there, quite a bit less actually, with one dollar than you can in the US.
My point was that 3k$ monthly (if they split evenly) was enough for them (well, Dammed) to work full time on this, and if he did he has fewer excuses to have this upload pattern. I could understand it if he had another job, but not like his, not that he was making a fortune or anything.
What you see on patreon that over 6k figure is all their money, patreon allready took their cut...
