I literally don’t understand how that’s possible. Taffy Tales is definitely unique but that upward trend is insane with no advertising and updates basically 1.5 times a year where is all that traffic coming from?That’s incredible and I’m happy for Uber but I’d be lying if I said it felt well deserved.
Taffy Tales updates have been about 2 times per year or better since its premiere. But I wouldn't wouldn't doubt it changing as the game continues to expand in characters and story line.
Perhaps your paradigm needs shifted at what you think makes an adult game successful.
As an example, the #1 adult game on Patreon (#6 creator, overall) also has been releasing 2-3 times per year. Now, that said, that one could be considered a "founding father" of the current adult gaming industry, but it has held that #1 spot for nearly 5 years.
The graph below is for another adult game that has had only annual updates for each of the last two years, and is on track to have it's third update at the end of the year, as well. From 10 patrons to 1300 in 3 years.
What would make a near 7 month update live up to the hype? How many scenes are we looking at?
We're told there are a lot of new characters being introduced (you can find many/all of them in previous pages in the thread --- or in the discord ... or on patreon) which are being intertwined into the current storyline - so a full replay from day one might be part of the whole update.
Also, remember, it is a three-person devteam.
