Honestly, I feel like the dev should hire a few people to help with making the game so the updates actually come out at a reasonable rate. At least hire a coder or something to help with the game side of things while WW works on all the art and writing.
Lets look at it a bit in depth. What takes the most time in superhuman is not even the coding part, its drawing and connecting the fantasy. But, lets look into the economical part.
Assume that out of his 900 paid members, 80% are 5$, 10% are 10$, 5% are 1$ and finally 5% are 15$. This means that out of 900 members 720 pay 5$, 90 pay 10$, 45 pay 15$ and 45 pay 1$.
(720 * 5) + (90 * 10) + (45 * 15) + (45) = 5220 $
Patreon takes 12% which makes the total earnings from patreon: 4593.6$.
Now he has to pay taxes and assuming he is american then it turns out to 22% taxes he has to pay leaving his total to 3583.008 which basically is 3585$.
Now if he lives as a BASEDment dweller then perhaps he does not pay anything monthly to his family in regards to a place to stay. However if he lives alone then you can imagine atleast -1000$ bringing him down to 2585$ monthly. This is without factoring in that he has to pay the bills, buy food, gas etc. So assuming his monthly expenses are frugal then his monthly saved cash amounts around 2000$.
You may think that its a lot because it amounts to 24 000$ per year but remember that he has no pension plan etc and unless he invests the MAX monthly cash deposit into his 401k or whatever their growing old plan is.
In conclusion, the assumed 2000$ he gets per month is not the same 2000$ as a normal job since it leaves out all the employee benefits such as pensions down the line, health insurance etc. So him spending the last maybe 1000$ for someone to draw art for him could be detrimental to a
very bleak outcome of life down the years.
