I’ve seen a lot of comments here and in the Sandcrab topic about the slow pace of updates and attempts to calculate how much money the developers are making from donations.
Personally, I think counting donations — especially if they aren’t your own — is not a great idea.
In my opinion, we’re partly to blame for this situation. Back when Akabur's original games first came out, there wasn’t a huge selection of titles in the genre, so even games with deeply written dialogues but mediocre visuals felt impressive. That’s why this particular mod received so much support in the beginning.
But when you get a lot of support without much pressure or expectations, it’s easy to relax and slow down, releasing updates less and less frequently. Today, many people aren’t happy with that approach—especially now that there are many more games out there.
So instead of focusing on how much money the developers make, let’s talk more about the game itself. If you disagree with the direction they’re taking, just unsubscribe from their Patreon and support creators whose work you enjoy more.
As for me, I personally value games with a well-developed plot more than just a collection of high-quality images or sex scenes. That’s why I still appreciate this mod and check in every six months or so to see what’s new.
