Understandable but no joke if your family is trying to gaslight you, you should probably spend less time with them (if possible) and think of what you really want, thousands upon thousands of people have been able to be supported by an occupation like what you're doing (especially since it shows potential and isn't a halfbaked visual novel with only pictures but with actual animation), but while numbers are a big thing in trust when it comes to an occupation, it's another thing to not have belief, maybe they are just trying to help you, but you need to make it clear what your choice is, and that one doesn't make a living as a dev (let alone an h-dev) instantly (also smart move but polishing up the free game in the future just a tad more would probably convince more people to buy the full game, a demo would probably be wiser than a prebuild)
