Hello! First of all, let me say I appreciate your concerns and the very kind words, truly.
I agree that I'm held back financially by my stubbornness, but I'm fine with that. I prefer to dedicate my efforts into something I'm proud of. I can't feel proud if I know I can do a better job. I really dislike some common practices in the NSFW gamedev world, so I simply won't partake in them, whatever happens happens. A lot of times I've thought about just leaving this space and going fully SFW, since I don't get the Patreon mindset. But I really want to see something that I'd play, and that's the games I make.
Having said that, with the way I want to make games, yes, Love Inn would be unprofitable for a long time. So I still consider what I'm doing the best option, since Chibi Monster Girls made more money in 1 day as a premium game than 3 months of Love Inn (back when I was doing updates). You think this was a big mistake, and you may be right in a strictly financial sense, but the way I see it, all this could buy me some time to develop Love Inn with love and care without the pressure to release low quality content quickly in fear of Patreon earnings dropping.
