Ren'Py Summertime Saga [v21.0.0 wip.5003] [Kompas Productions]

[Poggersq]

You people are comparing apples and oranges,talking about huge companies with insane budgets to spend vs a patreon porn game that makes like 60k at month,wich is not bad but is not FUCK YOU money like Bestheda has.

no, these are oranges and oranges, the SCOPE of a company doesn't matter under the guise of money.

I know DC has a team that some of that 60K goes to, but even if I made 1/2 that I'd be saying FUCK YOU to a whole lot of people. Not my fans mind you, but a whole lot of other people.

 

[HardcoreLarry]

wthdym? fans DO have power: in sonic games fans demand change all the time. what are you smokin bro

Not only in the games, originally the movie was supposed to have a really goofy ass looking animated sonic, fans really gave them their opinion on it and they delayed the movie to reanimate it and it turned out to be a success.

told ya earlier: most female pfp don't know what they talking about (especially when it comes to video games, i've had my fair share).

30k at month is not FUCK YOU money,especially if you have a family like DC.

$360k after tax is top 0.5% in the US.

Given that he's one of the top creators on Patreon for half a decade and given that he creates on one of the most known NSFW games on the whole planet, it's actually astonishing how little he monetizes the whole project - at least compared to other people in this streamer-/socialmedia-/influencer-sphere and especially compared to other games in this mobile market.

To me these are two sides of the same coin, yes, he's slow developing his game, but at the same he's very laid back when it comes to taking money from people. Sure, he still makes a lot, but it's not like people actually have to pay if they don't want to.

Edit:
If Kompas was a normal company, I'm sure the game would be 100% mobile by now and would have some kind of payment/coin system, etc. added, so they could rip off people like they do with basically every other mobile game.

Edit:
To be at least a little on topic. DC started to draw Judith's room recently...

I'm shocked there isn't a life-sized poster of MC in her room.

Weeeeeell, the final touches will be added once they actually start working on her story, so who knows?

There will finally be some content from Judith.

 

[Ayam85]

bruh even Milfy City got a release before this

But Milfy City was rushed and tons of its content still not implemented.

 

[Badjourasmix]

To be fair the update was shit. Some content was removed, all the routes feel super rushed and don't have proper endings.

 

[j4yj4m]

.... all the routes feel super rushed and don't have proper endings.

So really just the usual. I don't think there has been an ICSTOR game that was really finished/fleshed out. It always felt like he got tired of one project somewhere in the middle and just started the next one (which then still ended up being basically the same, as the one he "abandoned" before...).

I'm not surprised that he'd burn out at some point.

There will finally be some content from Judith.

I wouldn't wait for anything substancial until she actually gets her update. For now it's just a very basic location and one cutscene.

Erm, it's about as monetised as porno games can pretty much get. What else could he do to monetise it further? Microtransactions? He's getting paid monthly (quite well too) to work on a porn game. Most other porno makers only get paid after they produced something -- including game makers who prior to Patreon pretty much only got paid after they released their complete game which was often on shady websites unless you were Japanese and had access to dlsite or something.

Like I struggle to think how a porno can make any more than this. You ain't getting adspace on this kinda shit. The only creators I'd reckon that'd make more are people with cults of personality like BelleDelphine.

Heck, I'm willing to bet even most big-shot porn actresses get less moolah than DC and they have to live with the fact that they functionally ruin their personal lives in the process.

With the way DC draws he will one day be at the ball finale while we are still getting the tech update.

Erm, it's about as monetised as porno games can pretty much get. What else could he do to monetise it further?

There's no advertisement (neither does he advertise nor does he accept advertisers), no merch, he doesn't commercialize his streams, he doesn't release updates as much as he should to gain attention (sadly), he doesn't sell the game on steam, he doesn't really charge people for early access - he indeed doesn't make people pay for the game at all.

Microtransaction would surely be predatory, but as said, I'm sure many actual companies/devs would try to add premium content into the game, if they had such a huge audience, that's obviously willing to pay.

One can only imagine how much money DC would make if he'd simply release something somewhat substancial every 2 to 3 months, create a steam version and do a few of the other things mentioned above.

I think the comparison between NSFW games and actual porn doesn't really fit that well. There are millions of women who produce porn and - let's face it - most of them are totally interchangeable and most people who watch porn don't care at all. The number of people who'll stick to one company/model for years is likely very, very small.

When it comes to casusal 2D NSFW games, there's really not that much on the market and even less that's made for mobiles. Yes, you can get japanese VNs (and some RPG-maker-games), but after you've played a few, they'll mostly feel the same and as such few are willing to pay.

I think I’ll take him and his crew earning a solid 60k over something like EA earning billions with lootboxes. At least you can see what exactly you are getting for your money, since he's upfront about that.

It's more likely with JAV over western porn, I've noticed. Probably a case of "idol culture" ironically getting transplanted over to porn lol.

Has the story finally reached its conclusion, or are we embarking on what seems to be an endless journey? The anticipation was part of the initial charm, but it's becoming a challenge to maintain the enthusiasm.
