I don't know man, it's stupidly hot here right now. Feels like the perfect time to release a game called "Summer HeatFor the game title, the summer is almost done.

welcome to the three-letter fraternity, in that case.

Are you sure you want to know? Keep in mind, knowing Joshy and his passion for three-letter, you will not find your way back.

Extremely jealous + extremely horny = ntr feelings, but let's not talk about that.
I'd like to see MC, Eve and Mia threeway kiss with dancing tongues. It`s hot stuff, but it's rare to see it

Oh, you mean those three letters. I thought you were talking about LGBT. Although there are four letters here. Thank you.

Why imagine thus this is the reality of this game in the last two years
It feels like that's all or most of these VNs at this point. It's more like we're lucky if an update comes out at least once a year. It almost feels some are slowly starting to stretch that "year" out to longer and longer.

That was sarcasm.
And we were telling you about Helen, but nobody realizes yet that she's the best waifu in the game !
this is actually a big mistake compared to those who pay all year round and get 1 update for their money per year
why can't you tell people to pay attention, there will be 1 update a year and share it, I seriously don't understand who pays for this
very unfair but this is my opinion

honestly if you want some background info, adults VN's from like 8-10 years ago weren't the most quality things out there, in fact rather terrible and the only decent ones were japanese made and even then most explicit version of things that you like such as cartoons and what not existed within Rule 34's umbrella of just plain bad pornographic material.
Fast forward today there's massive adult VNs like Badik, City of Broken dreamers etc and the more famous ones before them were stuff like milfy city. The bar has been pushed so high up as to what makes a good VN now that 60% of the games here are bottom tier trash. The cons of that being creators like DPC basically becoming bloated with ego with the amount of support these creators get when their game explodes in popularity, so much so that doing a annual update cycle is seen as a norm now. Updates are bigger and to justify that most creators opt for more time to do things.
I think there are a few reasons for that:
- The market is oversaturated, so the average slice of the pie is getting smaller.
- The donations are "sticky", so the established creators like DarkCookie are earning too much while producing too little.
- The production quality floor is constantly raising. People used to think that fully-rendered non-sex scenes were high production quality, but now we've grown accustomed to engaging writing, good lighting, good camera angles, PBR, non-default poses and facial expressions, hair, fabric, water and soft tissue physics simulation, animated sex scenes that aren't just mannequins pistoning in and out.
So the authors are at a crossroads:
- hire a whole team to improve the production quality while maintaining a quick release schedule (but this requires either becoming a viral success or a very good marketing team that can tell what niche is underexploited (gay furries, NTR, incest etc)
- make the game you want at a sustainable pace (if you earn $500 from Patreon and $3000 at work, you probably won't scale your Patreon to $2000 if you switch to working part-time for $1500)
- scale down the production quality in a way that doesn't hurt your game's popularity (write a basic plot that only serves to stitch the sex scenes together and reuse assets liberally for non-sex scenes is the usual route)
