Let me explain something: adult animation takes a hell lot of time to do, is very hard to monetize (up until now there weren’t really any ways of doing it beside some porn ads which don’t pay well).
Patreon has been a life safer as it gives us a chance to work on big, full scene stuff that otherwise couldn’t be done. We continue to make adult animations because there is a huge lack of western adult animations, and the reason I even started tiarawhy was because I hoped more adult animators would see the little crappy gifs id make and take up the helm and show everyone hows its done. After joining that world I instead discovered how very few adult animators in the west there are, and how most of them can only afford to do animations in small batches and/or for fun, not as a real job. If we wanted to do nothing but suck up revenue we would drop out of porn entirely and focus on youtube where there’s guaranteed income that is stable. Instead we’re taking a risk with patreon (which we are extremely thankful for) and making game animations like ones we couldn’t have before. There is no forcing anyone to join our patreon, and we do not force any paywalls or charges for any of the games we released/plan to release (or have any desire to do so).
If you feel that the work we do is a scam/non real then please by all means take away your pledge, we’ll hold nothing against you and continue to make things to the best of our ability. As for Maud I made a call to cut a few duplicate angles so that we can finally release the game and eventually make a 2.0 version with the cut scenes (which is still an if since those scenes might not add as much to the game as is).
