That is a post I made already but I forgot to post it here too. I am still not used to Boosty but I put all links next to each other now -  so that I won't forget it again. 

Aloha,

The Lovephobia Characters really grew into my heart. And when I started with Lovephobia in October 2024 I could have never imagine what this project would mean to me and how many times I would cry reading some of your comments. (In a positive way)

Also I met some of the most wonderful people you could ever dream of. Especially those who are helping me create Lovephobia and also Feeneera. Zairus, Finue, PaulNewmon and Miltonpowers. Without them the game would look so much worse. And I know I already said it but I will repeat it over and over again because they deserve it. And I can’t really show how much I appreciate their help and how much I love them.

But I want to be honest with you. I want to give you the opportunity to stop your support. First of all – I will finish Lovephobia and Feeneera no matter what. But after those two are done.. I can’t really tell. I planned to create smaller side stories for all the characters and Lovephobia 2 + rework older scenes from Lovephobia 1 but there is also a high chance that I will quit creating AVNs.

The reason is pretty simple. Because of my hardware limitation creating renders is not as fun anymore. It’s lagging the whole time, I have to remove tons of things in the background often I can’t even render two characters in one shot and so much more like not getting a preview so  I have to render blindly, the render turns out completely black and so on. And I can’t even create animations anymore. And on top the complete freezes I have from time to time.

And with the current prices for PC hardware(screw you stupid AI shit), I can’t afford new PC parts and because of how old the system is already (about 10 years), I think just upgrading a few parts won’t do it. So, I probably would need a whole new system. And a new system with at least 16 GB VRAM card will cost between 2500€ - 3500€. (I think)

Which leads to the next part. I never expect Lovephobia becoming as popular as the giant players like BaDik or whatever other games which make 8K-10K a month or even more. But I was hoping for a bit more. I am just about reaching 200€ after a new update is released but then my Inbox is filled with cancelled subscriptions and it’s falling back to just 150€ in the same or next month or like right now with 134€. Don’t get me wrong. Even that is a lot of money and it helped me to replace my power supply and a new Display. And it’s also more a combination of the money over the time I invest. And this combination looks like a scale with a feather on the one site and an elephant on the other side. Which is my fault.

But I don’t want to talk to much about this point because I don’t want to bring in other devs and games. I just want to let you know that from now on supporting is at your own risk. I totally understand everyone quitting the support now and I won’t get mad for that. Promise.

I just wanted to tell you this early enough so you won’t get mad if it would happen right after finishing Lovephobia and Feeneera.

But who knows how it will look like at the end of the year when the projects are done. Time will tell.

No matter how everything will turn out – I wish you a wonderful day.

Pengu greetings
