I don't blame you for thinking that everyone who uses Patreon is malicious. The fame of the developers who use the platform is not the best. But your conclusion is wrong because of the answer to this question:
"why not just start a new and fresh VN/Game?"
In fact, I've already started two new games after Solvalley. One is already finished, the other is advancing well. Here the games if you are interested:
HS Tutor:

House Arrest:
https://f95zone.to/threads/house-arrest-v1-4-tk8000.6853/
In fact, the time I spend working on Solvalley is disadvantageous in the matter of money because it prevents me from working on a game that is more profitable (HS Tutor, which has more interested patrons and more people willing to pay more, besides being a game with more professional appearance). In a way, what I'm doing can be considered the opposite of milking because I'm working more time to earn less money. Milking is literally working less time to make more money. By the way, my highest tier is $ 3,
.
Why did Solvalley have so many characters and got so big? Because I'm completely crazy and inexperienced and did not realize that the scope of the game was too big. Now I want to close it in the most satisfactory way possible.
It's just a joke.
