I know, it should be so, but I saw that "Gradiant" dev has 4.5k/month. That'a a pretty solid change in the pocket. Say we he makes 600-700 render update (it doesn't feel too short, but not something to brag about) per year. That's cca. 50/month, truth is probably he waits up to 10 months and then makes the update. It remains 10 months to do renders for someone else for money. Or he works a job and slowly on weekends spend 1-2 h on his game. That's a probably all together 10k per month. Not too bad. And why should he speed up? He can go in pension in 10 years. He earns for a new (and not a bad one) car per year.
And about HS game that's can be once in a livetime opportunity (lol), his second game is just mind blowing. I was at first about HS also not a greatest fan, but I learned to love it. It's not DAZ, but if the story is good, characters lovable, HS isn't a reason to hate the game. Under my top 10 games I played about half are HS/HS 2 games. And Single Again is one of those games. Everytime I start a game from beginning, less and less I'm frustrated in Frank. I can understand his motives. When you play update, after update, memories lie to us, you see Frank with another eyes. It is perfect? No, it isn't. But enjoyable, like all characters.
