But then they would get the "fame" of making lewd games and then the shareholders and stuff.
Fuck. Now I can't unsee it.
While I sort of agree with you. Mainly looking at it from a monetary perspective. I feel like if they did smaller updates more frequently their Patreon would explode with subs. I do think they're hurting themselves by doing 6-month releases without the fanbase that say DPC has. I love this game and want them to succeed but I can't justify patreoning for 2 updates a year.
idk, no point in playing a new update thats only like 20 mins long. imo. It takes a long time because they have to draw everything by hand. Then animate. I wont be playing this game until its done, which will probably be like in 5 years or longer.
This game is their only source of income and I think they are doing pretty well on Patreon. Also, if you like their work you don't need to keep your subscription active during the whole development period, you are free to throw them some bucks only after each release or whenever you feel like it.
Well, at least the support on Patreon is good enough that they aren't struggling. I know they have kids. No idea where they live but I wonder how much a little less than $100k a year is providing them between basically two incomes. Hopefully enough to be comfortable.
They live in a not specially expensive part of Spain. They are getting a comfortable amount, I guess, even after Patreon cut, taxes and healthcare. They are not getting rich but they can build up some savings
This game could make them rich, and I hope it does!
I seem to recall past comments that they didnt want to reveal Chestnut's real name because she also did work in a non-lewd environment and didnt want it to be affected as a result.
we really do not need too much about them. its nice they let slip some things, like birthdays and anniversaries, it does make a more personal connection. but if you post on here and call him, Pistachio, you will get an answer to any question. Shakespeare said, a rose will still smell as sweet as if called by any other name
This is pretty typical for a lot of people with other jobs outside of the lewd field. The credits for the voice actors in the game "House Party" only list maybe 4-5 of the like 13-15 VA's in the game because they chose not to have their names included.
Of course it's common. Even authors that write bodice rippers often use pseudonyms (male writers using a woman's name, for example) to separate their more "high brow" writings.
Just to clarify: she had another work, they are only working on WaL now as it's more than enough for them.
While this is true. She may not want this game to be associated with whatever work she has done in the past outside of the industry. Really no reason to associate your real name with a lewd game. Unless you need recognition for other endevours in the same industry.
