Not like the Singles games but now we have F95 and all these good games to play.
no offence, but you really can´t compare these games:
- experienced developer team which did this for life, as their job vs.
- (most) one-man Shows, creating as hobby and vanishing after 1-3 months for ever. 90% picture-based games. 85% with ton of bugs and bad code, 80% with standard used Daz3D poses, which don´t fit completely to situations... no lights, no shadows, quality wise completely low, the traditional 0.1 (aheem 0.0000000001) releases with 3minutes of play and patreon link, rpg-maker studio, 90% incest with magical stuff etc. etc.
Again no offense but codewise and from the structure (hell even the models), this game is still better than everything here, even after years, even as a 3D-Game. I see f95zone more like an advertisement of many people, who do this as a hobby, who are at the beginning, the ones who reach their limit in developing bigger things (because they do it alone), or the ones, who want to make fast money and the ones, who wish to develop their own story. More like an indie thing. As long as no one tries to develop these things in teams, there won´t be something like this or a higher level than we get right now.
I don´t see Patreon completely as a good thing, because the majority want to keep the money for themself, instead of investing in bigger things, a team etc. You can clearly see it here, how the userbase increases on some games, how the expectation increases with each update, how big the disappointment is getting (see beggar of the net and his bugs). But the game itselfs stays most at the same level, it even falls a bit...you need a team when you reach a certain level.
