Poll results and come to Jesus moment!

I know I said I was going to end the Poll in 3 days but I got what I needed from it, and now I'll tell you why I made it!

The Poll was 93% positive with only two votes saying I could do better, and those people messaged me basically saying they love the game, but gave a couple of constructive comments.

So, why I am concerned? Well, I talk to other devs who seem to be trending up or staying around the same amount of support, but I'm clearly not doing that. Now, I want to preface this with saying anyone who gives ANYTHING to support me I appreciate deeply. But here are the facts and most devs would never show this to you.

Below is what I made in the last year, and you can see the months I released updates how much more I made and now what I'm projected to make this month.



So yea, I'm a little concerned. When I do polls people say they want the big updates, but I'm gonna start considering just doing one day updates, because it's not what you're saying with your money (again I appreciate anyone who gives anything I'm just stating facts here, come to Jesus moment remember). Also this will give you an idea of the bite Patreon takes out of creators asses. :)

What this shows is about 1/4 to 1/5th of the people who sub only sub for the update, so what motivation would I have to NOT release more frequent updates? And, there was a mass exodus this time.

Is it really the quality of the game is high or are people are just being nice? I have no idea and it's making my head spin trying to figure it out. Anyway, this is where I'm at with things. Now that 469.16 number will likely rise over the course of the month as I get new subs, but it's the trend here that's concerning me and making me think I might need to take a step back and look at my business model.

I realize this is a niche game that's only going to attract certain players, but many of the ones I had are no longer supporting, and I see other games that tell a story about absolutely nothing, that are making triple what I am. I'm still doing good in terms of overall AVN creators on patreon, but as I said before you can see why I might be concerned looking at this.

Just as an aside I'd do ODAAT for free, but since this is something I do full time. I really need to consider how I can monetize it better. Am I too nice or something? Do I give away too many things for free? Should my dev updates be Patron only. Idk, but I'm gonna have to think about that stuff.

Because, if things KEEP going in this direction, I'm gonna have to go part time with the game and pick up a part time job so I can continue to help my Dad. Again, I can't stress enough how much I appreciate everyone who is here and supports me, but facts are facts and this is concerning.
