Though it's of course a business now which means he'll have to pay taxes, has to pay the people who write, animate, code and pose for him (as fas far as I'm aware he said that his wife manages most of the paper work) etc.
It's of course still very good money but that's what you get when you are producing one of best games in a genre "on the planet" in a globalized world. It's a lot easier to make good money when you've got a potential audience of a billion people and more compared to just a couple of million.

Wait what ? Geez I didn't know this game was this popular

Yeah I get that he has taxes and hired people on his payroll but that's still a crazy amount of money lol

Well, it's

You must be registered to see the links

for quite some time which counts for quite a lot in the "english speaking community". I'm sure there may be some japanese games and especially browser based games which make better money but those are another topic I guess.

I can't believe DarkCookie makes 32k+ a month. That's crazy. My mind can't comprehend that kind of money lol XD

That's around 385,000 dollars a year. People would kill to make that kind of money.

Makes sense though, this game is ahead of its time.

You don't consider cost ? ... actually people who paid $1000/month is actually sad. 30.000/month is normal rate for amateur level. Kompas is a team of 8, 6 are the main developers of the game. Cost of small team like this is variant between $20.000 - $50.000 /month. Base salary, bonus per picture, bonus per ## coding, bonus per story sheet, etc. If you think DC became a rich guy from this game, you are dead wrong. In fact, probably he can only save money max. $2000/month for himself. Even the most "Reputable" porn game maker income, are still far from the normal office salary.

I think you are overstating some cost here. As far as I'm aware DC said once that he's is the only one who works full time one the project and most other people have normal jobs besides SS. In the end it would be pretty odd if he would pay people who work less more money than himself.

Hi guys can someone put in here a full save game??

THX

This so far is the most interesting and beautiful game after BoN's My New Life,the story is interesting as hell,the characters are well made and even if you have to start a new game when a new update comes it's definitely worth it to start again and see the scenes again and again.
My favourite characters are the mom and the sister(obviously),Mia's mother and Roxxxy which one are yours?

How many tasks are there in the previous update? I ve played the first time since 0.15.3 and it took me 15h to finish. How long would the new update take. Can someone guess?

Do you mean how long it would take to play or to make?

FalseOath · Jun 5, 2018

He did say in his Patreon account it's going to be a really big update. So yeah thats about it.

Agree. Why people playing his game and complaining about his income at the same time? They are so pathetic! Of course DC would make profit, that' s what he deserves. No one do anything for free, right?

I don't think the number of tasks itself matters that much given that they can mean anything but DC said it's going to be as big as the teachers update and that we'll get new 9 h scenes in total, including a foursome.

Two weeks ago I'd have guessed they'll release it in the 2nd half of june but given that progress slowed down quite bit recently it may take another month from now.

Personally, I'm not planning to do anything (not even install the game until DC finishes with the Jenny update.)
