I said this doesnt even feel like a game.
That applies to the vast majority of "games" available here. Which I don't doubt you're fully cognisant of.
You start off with little to no direction and no clear defining goal/story
Not entirely true...
Krowly's a farmer in the village, but he's learning to become a warlock and "have all the sex", with some relevant quests and content relating to that.
Krowly himself sums it up in the opening, much more concisely than I did.
It's designed as an "open-world game" with some survival elements, and light-RPG elements too.
As a result, players aren't spoon-fed quests and information, and have to explore in order to get information/direction... Like an old, old, old-school CRPG.
The game's currently not even half done, with the majority of updates concerning the world-building.
if the point as you so put it was to get "you or other's dicks wet" a far more viable option would have been to just make comics/videos of his characters engaging in sexual activity but then again people dont nearly want to support that type of content over actual videogames on Patreon, so game format it is if you want to make a buck.
There are plenty of folk on Patreon who don't do video games, and they certainly "make a buck".
Comics, artwork commissions, animations, even mods for games. All that for both pornographic and non-pornographic content.
Boobsgames was doing artwork first (does the art for the game too), and decided to make a game as well.
A game that gets released for free, with a "whopping total" of two patronage options, which combined come to less than a fiver...
Oh yeah, he's really going after the money with this project.
