Certainly you're getting paid for your efforts via Patreon and with the sale of the games. You did set the price.

Don't sell an "in-development" game that suggests that there will be more days included in the initial purchase, arbitrarily decide that it's "done" then release a sequel, which is also incomplete because you're also focusing on three or four other projects.

It's dishonest and disappointing.

I definitely never intended to be dishonest. People liked this game & wanted more. I had a problem with the game engine. I had to change plans & adapt in a way that allowed me to keep making content for people. 

The sequel is pretty cheap, & I update it roughly every month.

Im pretty disapointed in you. As an inde-dev, NSFW or not, you still need to eat. This here is a harsh market and 2.80€ for a second game isnt much to ask. Half of the consumers wouldnt even have noticed if it would a dlc for 2.80€.  I am pretty sure this dev is payed way under the minimum wage and might be strugglying to keep afloat. And what about the devs that just strait up leave in hard times?  This one here wanted to deliver what most of you wanted but couldnt do it for free.

Tho, I still need to agree that it is disappointing and can understand if you feel betrayed. But you cant rly call it dishonest if the dev litterly tells you the reasons the old game is discontinued.

Anyway, thats just my take, as a dev as well.

Get off your high horse. Being an indie-dev or "dev" in general is not something that gives you accreditation or a higher standard of opinion than anyone else. I, for example, am a dev as well, but it's completely irrelevant to the points being made and doesn't need to be mentioned.

HH Richards has a Patreon, making ~$4k a month, which is on top of the income from these games. So, $72k USD net before taxes, which is a sizeable assuming this is their only sort of income. "Hard times" happens to everyone and that's why you budget and take responsibility for those yourself.

I actually agree with you.

I do think I owe an apology though, because I definitely came off as more firm and aggressive than I should have. Sorry about that.

Cheers, mate.

No, you were right. Also didnt know about the 4k which I could have easly looked up. Anyways, have nice day :)
