Yeah, instead of Big Brother, it could've been called Older Male Sibling.This is far enough away from Big Brother that it could have been titled anything other than what it is

Honestly I don't really care about the 'rudicule'. If you play it, you'll see that it's not just the names that are the same. Some events overlap with the original, others... not so much. As for the abandonment issue - I intend to see it till the end. I'm not doing it for the money, I'm doing it for the fun if it. If there are enough people who want to support me - great. If not... well the fun of doing it is still there. I'll be doing it in my own pace on my own terms regardless of the Patreon.Different story, different models. If dev didn't name the game BBiS and gave the characters different names he could have avoided the ridicule.
It's not even a good strategy to get patrons as most people familiar with BB already expect every new BB game to be abandoned after a few (or 1) updates.

" BIG BROTHER.....IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!"
Demonstrably no, everyone allegedly being sick of them hasn't stopped this game. In fact, calling it 'Big Brother' obviously gets it more publicity, as people gravitate to it, even if only to complain in the comments, which gives it greater visibility. As they say, "There's no such thing as bad publicity".The question is, "what's stopping them creating a BB game?"
The answer is, "because everyone is sick of BB games"
Sure, it gets publicity because people come to mock yet another Big Brother game, they don't make any money though. There are so many abandoned spin offs it's insane.Demonstrably no, everyone allegedly being sick of them hasn't stopped this game.

The real issue stopping people is their lack of skills with the relevant tools, and the lack of motivation to learn. This explanation is less popular, but I'll leave the reasons for that to your imagination.
I think you have too narrow view of what the AVNs are. What's called "sandbox" around here comes from "dating simulator" branch of VNs, which had stat-raising activities as requirement for pursuing available LIs.That's kinda my point. AVNs are to read, not try to solve puzzles and shit.
Hello! I'm a beginner VN developer. I'm interested in your comment.That's kinda my point. AVNs are to read, not try to solve puzzles and shit. There's real games for that. Renpy "games" tend to be shit when it tries to be more than just a story with few choices guiding toward an ending. I can count on 1 hand the number of "sandbox" AVNs I've played that were tolerable or better. That's probably partially my fault. As when I decide to read an AVN I'm usually also looking for something to fap to besides just a Pornhub clip with little to no context. Well, with sandboxes by the time I spend an hour grinding or trying to figure out how unlock the next 30-second scene I'm no longer in the mood due to the previous aggravation of unlocking it.
