discussion Why do indie (Western) hentai/porn games never finish the development?

i think most of the devs who drop get comfortable with the income and just go on with their personal lives,thats my head canon at least

I think creators make way more money with patreon than just realising the game

After a few update cycles, the creator realizes, that some people will give them money for very little content. It also happens in AAA_Games (Star Citizen).

I'm also wondering why

 

[SilentHunter]

Possible reasons: 1. Lack of interest from the potential audience, which deprives developers of the incentive to continue working on the project. 2. "Writer's Block". This most often happens if a developer, when starting work on a project, does not have a clear plot of his story in his head and is forced to improvise, which leads to the "milking" of his subscribers. 3. Creative burnout. At some stage, the developer becomes uninterested in the project, he either switches to creating a new game, or simply disappears. 4. The developer may just die, such cases have happened. But all of the above does not mean that all games are abandoned. Examples of completed projects:
Bright Past
Life in Middle East
The Island
Hinsdale Days
Happy Summer
Sex Formula
Sexbot
Going Over
The Wife Next Door
Come Home
My Pleasure
Were The Heart Is
Good Girl Gone Baв
Midnight Paradise
At Home Again
Price of Power
Instinct Unleashed

This is just what I could remember right away, in fact the number of completed projects is much higher.

BECAUSE THEY JUST SIT AROUND RAKING IN THE PATREON DONATIONS WHILE WORKING 2 HOURS A WEEK ON THEIR GAMES TO PRODUCE A SINGLE NEW ANIMATION EVERY SIX MONTHS, SO THEY CAN JUST KEEP THE FAUCET OF THEIR DONATIONS ON AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH AHAHAHAAHA

Or another reason, I dunno.

They do it for the vibe then stop once the vibe leaves. I won't complain tho, I wanna have such strikes of inspiration.

 

[protons]

They make more money that way.

Or they don't even have a patreon and they have to work a full time job and do game development as a hobby, they have a family and a private life other than developing the game.
