Hello two thousand subscribestars! :)

Thank you all so much for your support in reaching this incredible new milestone!

Unfortunately, this is still less than 50% of the subscriber base we had before. That’s why we’re putting in more effort than ever to make the Steam release happen as soon as possible – it’s our big opportunity to keep things going!

"... Something tells me those aren't her only tattoos."
As always,
Thank you all so much for your support,
Without you guys,
None of this would be possible,
Love,
-The Taffy Tales Team

They were talking about the number of subscribers, not the $$$ amount.

But, your maths check out on the Subscribestar $19,964 in subscriptions currently this month from 2,288 paying subscribers ($8.73 average) at $3, $7, $10, $12, $20, $30, $50.

7,395 was the maximum number of paying patrons, July 2023, shortly after he released the update that included the Netorare (NTR) Route (v0.95.7). Even the latest release at the end of January peaked at less than 6,900 paying patrons on Patreon. Tiers there were $1, $5, $10, $20.

Because the tiers are not the same, I doubt the average was similar. However, with the far greater number of paying patrons I don't think you would be far off (either a little high or a little low) in your estimate.

doesn't this game deserves an "abandoned" tag? the dev is trying to rework and rename the game, it probably needs a separe thread

Maybe I'm crazy but 240K a year sounds like enough to develop a visual novel without having to reach into other revenue streams
Yup.
You're crazy.
It's none of our business.
How little or much they earn does not affect us.
We don't pay a penny by downloading it from here (arrrrggggh, me matey. We be pirates!).

To quote the Sysadmin of F95:

So it don't concern me none.

Nope. The abandoned flag is for 3 months without an update with no regular communication from the developer or 18 months without an update even with communication from the developer. As the copy/pastes of the Subscribestar posts here prove, the developer is communicating regularly (F95 rules on the flag).

Nope. They aren't renaming it. It's still Taffy Tales. Yes, they are reworking it with all the same elements remaining in it, but that doesn't necessarily trigger the need for a separate thread (F95 rules on separate threads).

I generally agree with you, it's just the money they are making makes me wonder why they do certain things like feeling the need to release on steam, overblown usage of AI that still misses multiple fingers and incorrect anatomy (although they do take the time fix it in bug fix releases), and the over usage of AI in general which brings an inconsistent look to characters from scene to scene (The couch scene with Mary on her knees and a collar on in particular was really egregious, didn't even look like the character, or Tiffany's weird face change in the park, Sara's new body in the last update, Clara crying jizz tears, etc). I'll admit that the previews we've seen lately have been a step in the right direction when it comes to art, but I would hope that with their gigantic success would translate into more attention to detail over time, not less.
