The activity on the Xenorav Patreon account is seriously insane.
From October 2023 (last update) to May, the number of paying subscribers went up from 1,238 to 1,867 (+50%!) with no content whatsoever added to the game during this time, just the promise of another update some day, but much smaller so it can be released "more quickly" than the previous.
Then, from May to September, between the account being blocked, no communication from the dev for months on end and still no new content, it went down from 1,867 to 1,443 (a pretty big drop, but could have been much, much worse considering the total absence of new content).
And now, with just a smaller update with no actual content that progresses the story (a masterclass in blueballing, though, lol), it shot up again from 1,443 to 2,017 paying subscribers (ie +40%) and it's still adding from 20 to 30 additional subscribers each day.
Just imagine if he could add two updates of rubbing against Amelie in public places a year instead of just one, he'd reach DarkCookie numbers in a couple of years...
