You* ever notice that some devs handle setbacks and delayed updates with grace and dignity....

Kinda goes into the direction of my assumption of around the end of the solar system.

Dude, it's enough of a miracle that we got unsolicited stuff because not even BD knows who is who anymore because he keeps nursing headaches and taking showers, all in our lifetimes
Jamie's butt broke the D20 die set he uses to compute character stats. BD didn't know it was broken when he made Azel have BB cup tittiesDude, it's enough of a miracle that we got unsolicited stuff because not even BD knows who is who anymore because he keeps nursing headaches and taking showers, all in our lifetimes

naw about 2000 still do, the funny thing even his "character sheets" was late again those are the only thing hes done for the entire last year or longer and even those are showing up late *chuckles*
I bet the update will take another 6 months and then he'll take another year long hiatus. This is becoming predictable.
I'd be impressed if we got 1 part within 6 months... cause we all know he's going to chop up E14 into 372 parts, then drip feed it out.

He's making 1/2 that, maybe less. But with the way he's been acting the past few years.... He doesn't deserve a penny of it.
Well, assuming he is indeed in the USA (so we are using the US dollar) looking strictly at his Pateron and no other donation/subscription as of Today with his 2,652 supporters.
The lowest (assuming all donors are donating at a "Fan" level he is making is 2728.55 per month.
The highest he is making (let's assume everyone is donating at the highest level of "Hall of Fame" at $143.50 , he would be making 273,294.68
So while its super unlikely its either end, being somewhere in the middle , which my super basic math skills tell me hes probably making about $138,011.615 a month in US dollars, clearly give or take. And no, I dont know what he makes, clearly.
But even if he is makes 10,000 a month, thays a stupid amount of money for any job, much less a job he puts 0 effort i to it.
But as they say, dont hate the player, hate the game. If the goof balls would all stop supporting him, then this free ride would be over.

think you meant to say 138k per year, not month.
He doesn't disclose any of his earnings, but Grapheon based on sub numbers and averages, puts him between 7-18k... The vast majority of people are going to be on the lowest 2 tiers, which in my brain translates it'll be to the lower end of the bracket.
10k isn't really a stupid amount of money, but there is usually a certain amount of effort that goes into it.

We have so many great games that got abandoned due to lack of support and here we have this one. And it not even that much with story wise.
If I was making 5k+ USD per month then I'd make it my full time job.

Gemini says that 10k should give you a decent livelihood for a family of 4 in USA and that's considering you're a hard working middle class.
BD probably isn't doing it as main job.

Gemi who? Now really, that sum per month for some is like the entire year earnings working their butts off
10k in pay is decent in the US. $10k in Patreon subs isn't remotely the same. Patreon is going to be taking up to 30% when all is said and done. That 70% you get is only $84k/year in revenue. Assuming he was above board as a dev, he would have spent some of that on Daz assets and the hardware to render the game on. If you've been top 50-ish in adult games on Patreon while using Daz assets, I'm gonna guess some of the Daz model sellers are verifying you've paid to use their assets that appear in your game.
Gemini (google AI) says that to be the equivalent of $120k in pay from a normal job would be like $160k-180k as an indie, so his $84k is not even half of what Graphtreon might make it seem. After expenses and self-employment taxes on the remainder, $120k in Patreon might be equal to making $60k at a regular job. Lots of variable in there, but definitely not "getting rich" levels of income.
As I've said on the topic before, not defending BD in the least, just trying to bring some reality to this conversation, as folks who've never been self-employed in the US don't understand the distinction between getting a paycheck and being hit with that 1099. I also just read that the Patreon 1099 in the US is for gross revenue, so you likely have to do a self-employed or business-type return to write off all the fees they charged. Otherwise you're paying income tax on the money they took from you.
