How much would a game designer earn working for another company? Here's some annual salaries from Glassdoor:
  • Roblox: $185,181
  • Microsoft: $173,843
  • AppLovin: $131,603
  • Electronic Arts: $122,829
  • Unity: $114,687
Right now, if you're doing well in the AVN field, you can really make a lot of money. DC (Summertime Saga) is earning between 71k and 197K a month. DPC (BaDIK) is earning between 33K - 91K a month. Magicnuts is earning about 7.5K a month (and it peaks closer to 10K on each release). I think if you're doing well in this field, you'd be mad to throw it in and hope to do better in the mainstream.

I totally get how a lot of people don't really want personal recognition making a porn game, but none of these developers are putting their face out there anyway, and the in-laws don't give a fuck where your money is coming from as long as you're providing.

Not sure how doing AVNs as a hobby gives a higher chance of them sticking at it for another 5+ years. If it's a hobby, they can chuck it in and move on in their lives without any notice or repercussions, whereas someone making serious money out of it full time has a huge incentive to keep going.



If you crunch the number on the percentage complete:
  • It's been 670 days since the last release.
  • There's only 0.2% left to go.
  • So that means we've got roughly 1.5 days to go before release.
WooHoo! :giggle:

...No?

:cry:
1,5 days? Are you serious?

If I remember correctly, a couple of times ago. When magicnuts have some major block, they can't deliver the update fast enough because of some real-life issues, unfixed bugs, and testing. Some developers here are actually offering their help and speeding up the update significantly. Why couldn't it be the case now?

Well, you don't remember correctly, I'm afraid. This is the first update with some major real-life blocks, the previous updates followed more or less the same pattern in the polishing phase we are seeing now (this is taking a bit longer because it's said to be the largest update so far). And they only hired a sketch artist who is still helping them. I highly doubt involving more people will 'speed up the update significantly' at this point (or at any point, mind you, but that's a different discussion that's been repeated lots of times already).

I know they had a baby and one of them was sick or something, but damn 2 years and it isn't finish geez. I didn't expect Magicnuts to be as scummy as Darkcookie or Something Unlimited devs but here we are. That's the third, 2d game devs that's milking the fuck out of their games. I'm worried if Aurelia devs turns out like they do but here's hoping they won't. Also, I can't believe there's re****s thats complaining about the orc lady instead of the devs scummy practice.
yo yo yo Something Unlimited delivers the goods on a timely basis, no idea why they are catching strays here

Haha, this game has been on my reading list for 68 days (although I've been following it for much longer). I check the progress bar religiously, at least once every few days, and I can tell you right now that that code bar has been sitting at 164/166 forEVER. I mean, how long does it take to write 2 lines, or blocks, or whatever-the-fuck-units-of-measurement you want of code? Absolutely ridiculous.

Dev said about 1.5 months ago that those 'two lines' will be the last tasks to do, after everything else is ready (they are related to the replay gallery). The current work is being done at the edit part of the progress tracker, as I'm sure you've noticed.

Why does the progress tracker need to be edited ?

Is that time of the day already? Ok. Daily (double) reminder that devs aren't spending two months fixing bugs, but editing several scenes' art and dialogues.
Personal choice and all, you be you but simping for devs, companies, celebs or whatever serves no purpose and is frankly and objectively stupid.

Again consumers don't care and at this rate it's clearly exploitative. I have no stake in it since would never pay or support people like this but I can still comment on it here.

I guess some people just enjoy getting taken advantage of or defending them.

You are quoting a discord mod of Magicnuts,why you think hes so passive agressive with me?
Hes part of the agenda.
