I am amazed someone at last respectfully said his opinion without spreading hate, I wish more like you exist in this thread, I will not go a head and debate about if money coming from porn games are foul or not, this is a very controversial point, because saying that porn causes addiction for small amount of people so it's fine, is like saying small amount of people get addicted to weed so selling it is fine, what cases small harm is still harmful.

But the dev mentioned in his discord before that he hides the fact he developing this game from everyone around him, and in taxes, he registered it as remote office job, and he says the same to anyone asking him about his job, which means he maybe seeing it shameful, and yah you got a very good point here, not having insurance is a big pain in the butt, and will cause him to pay a lot for any medical condition he have.

Just to clarify, he stated that they hasn't told their relatives about the exact nature of this job, only that they are doing remote job (devs are a married couple). Tax-wise, he is a freelance programmer as there's not a 'lewd games developer' section in Spanish tax system and that one is the most accurate (you can lie your friends but it wouldn't be smart to lie tax officers). As they are self-employed, each one of them are forced to pay around 300 bucks per month (at least) to the Spanish National Healthcare system so they don't need to pay hospital bills but don't have other benefits like paid leaves. All in all, as it has been said lots of times, they are earning above average salaries thanks to this game but they are nowhere near the point of getting rich with it. Ironically enough, releasing updates more often would boost their income, as I'm sure all these fine lads you met today in this forum wish.

Well, then what explains their slow pacing other than lack of motivation? because my point was the the possibility they have lack of motivation because all the reasons I listed.

They also have two children, one of which is less than two years old, and Pistachio had not one but two hip surgeries to deal with. So it's been a lot of IRL issues taking away from dev time. I'm not disputing it's taken them a long time to get v0.7 out, and I'm sure the devs would agree with me, but the idea that they're just being lazy or milking their patrons and getting rich is utter nonsense.

Bad planning, for one. Then they had their second kid back in October 2022, at the beginning of this development cycle, which slowed them down for many months. And Pistachio had to undergo 2 hip surgeries that also meant taking some time off. I don't think lack of motivation is an issue here. Considering the estimated amount of content promised, plus all those setbacks, the actual pace is very similar to previous updates.

Why are you speak about 30% taxes? Patreon takes about 10% money, or i mistake? I don`t think what they pay government taxes.

I dont know any dev who is documenting such detailed.

Lmao... there is a good reason why you need to actually release fuggin updates to avoid the 'abandoned' tag on F95

I'm gonna have to try this at work sometime, the next time a VP asks me for an update on something I will send them a very pretty colorful snapshot of progress bars, but when they ask for actual files to see the progress I'll smartly respond "Let me cook!!!" Or, "I'll have you know my grandma's spleen just ruptured! ...Could you donate some money please?"

Thank you F95

I follow these progress bars almost since the very beginning. When the bars reach 100%, the devs deliver, for sure.

Some devs deliver a small update twice a month, others deliver a big one every few months. Whats wrong about that?
Does having big updates mean game is "abandoned" in between the updates?

When people love to talk they will do anything to achieve that. Especially with numbers. Oh the numbers and facts and truths...

You don't know that?

Last update was almost 2 years ago. By all accounts it qualifies as being abandoned. :)
