One game. The other "games" haven't received any posts or updates for over 6 months.
Couldn't disagree more. The Western adult games industry is filled with cowboys who are exploiting their audience by turning out minimum work hours necessary. As a programmer myself, I can see in these updates that there's maybe 5 hours of actual work that goes into them, and that is incredibly generous. That puts the developer at about $100 an hour. The artist I can't speak to in work hours.
The Western industry needs significantly less games because people like these two are milking supporters without providing value. It actually hurts EVERYBODY when people do that, including other developers, when potential customers lose faith in the Pateron based model. It also stops proper developers who work hard on their projects from getting financial support as the money is tied up in the sponges.
This project is distasteful. As is also to have a propaganda "employee" to placate people with more false enthusiasm and false promises to enable this scam to continue. The difference in content between the 2016 version and now in 2021 is almost offensive for a 5 year continued effort. If you want to be a professional then be a professional. If you want to be an amateur then be an amateur. But don't sell yourself as a professional with professional level standards to people to give you their money and then turn out amateur amounts of work.
Your words can be applied to almost all western games, its only very few developers that actually do a good job with delivering content compared to their income - But now that you are on the hunt for developers milking patreons, perhaps you should go after some that earn a bit more then 600$ per month? I can point you in the direction if you need some help.
There are developers of western games that take in from 10.000$ to 80.000$ per month with almost no content delivered when they do drop a patch - Which is usually after 3-9 months.
Not really sure where you got the "be professional" from - The artist gets 600$ per month, how much work does that really apply to? How much work would you do for 600$ a month in hours? As a personal comparison , my job in IT - its 2 days of work.
These developers are without being offensive "amateurs" - They don't live for the income they get via patreon, they have other real jobs - This is a hobby/side job, call it what you want - for them to go fulltime the income needs to be much higher... that's common sense.
And if it is so distasteful you are free to leave .
