Vortex00 patreon:
for one week patreon is testing a more accurate number display of the actual earnings. mines seems be much more accurate and I would imagine others are also.
However this only apples to people who opted in to all the patreon testing stuff so it might not apply to everyone.

This is why back when I hit the 6k milestone I still was not in a position to be able to quit my job yet heh. it said 6k but I wasn’t getting even nearly 6k. I will get there eventually probably after UMCH stuff starts circulating from a few demos. But at ther same time I didn’t take into account need to pay other people to help heh. I’ll figure it all out later for now I am just making games.
also I still plan to change my distribution method. I want to try two different things later maybe towards the end of the month.
ARIA:
I haven’t touched aria yet since yesterday’s post about it.

I’m going to work on it over the weekend.
UMCH:
art for the guitar mini is now done. good job to ttrop. I realized I don’t have Sixxe and Annie drawn so we need that at least for the first scene heh. There it will be good to go for the core art assets. I have to catch up on 5 sex animations also. I hope will like then because they are a pain in the ass to make.
SFM/MMD/3D
during time I normally might be doing a MMD video I decided to start dabbling in SFM stuff and learning how to do that. After getting the ropes I can probably get some custom Umichan or aria characters made. Might start looking at tutorials over the weekend. I figured if so many people can use it well I probably can also. but we’ll see lol.

omg man, now I understand why you don’t quitted the job, from 7k down to almost 5k. But you will reach at 6k soon.
Pinoy’s went down almost by half. Poor Pinoy. 🙁
omg you are right 🙁 … sad about that.
yeah it is bit surprising to say the least. I always thought the real amount was around 67% of the amount displayed. So I would have expected his to be somewhere in the upper eight hundreds.
And now he is only doing one more raffle, I guess due to needing to pay the programmer. All of his tier are based on raffles. I will need to send him a e-mail later and see what he’s up to with that.
Yeah, I would like to see him get more support as he deserves it. Maybe if he can do some rewards based on early previews or bonus material like you do, he can get some more patrons. His quality of work is a lot better than some Patreons which get much more money than he does. 🙁
I also think they are good animations, else I would not have wanted to use them for ARIA stuff. however keep in mind that animations aren’t everything. some of the other guys you might be referring could have good writing, likable characters, good gameplay, a existing fanbase or they could be whoring from a already large fanbase, or popular fetish, or whoring currently popular characters from games, they could be constantly broadcasting they are a chick irl, etc. Falloout 4 porn seem to be the popular thing to do at the moment. but yeah there a lot of reasons that could be aside from the quality of the animation. I support a guy on there called Mr. Pinku. The quality of the art and text is ass but the stuff he makes kind of gives me a chuckle and he makes puzzle hentai games where you have to figure out version combinations, what items to use where, etc. various things that I like even when the art is not the best in the world. I’d be interested to see some of the patreon people you might be referring to and investigate why they have so much more money.
I can’t remember particular ones because I wasn’t interested but one was Bioshock Infinite characters and another one had sex with animals… :s
So you are definitely right. You summed it up really well. 🙂
I’m interested in plot stuff a lot myself, so if the characters and stories were good, I might personally support something where the art was low quality.
I hope Pinoy can make Rogue Courier into something good and get more support. The alpha was pretty good and the Ep. 1 he released was fine too, except it cut out the gameplay and cut back on some other stuff. Hopefully his programmer is good and can get the gameplay going again.
It’s not really “down” just more accurate display of the amount received. But yeah I’m glad it is shown even just for this testing.
