I think most people prefer the photorealistic graphics of the DAZ3D, like you. At least this is the impression I have seeing the amount of followers of some games in Patreon. I believe if I had done the House Arrest with beautiful DAZ3D renders, I would probably have many more patrons than I have today.

And the DAZ3D has the advantage of allowing the dev to manipulate the smallest details of a woman's body and clothes, allowing for much more exciting scenes.
If the dev knows what's he doing, Daz3d blows HS out of the water, but if he has no experience with 3D rendering, lightning and etc, it's probably better and easier to stick with HS

but I really think this doesn't mean much on how many patrons someone has, mythic manor is pretty shallow than a lot of games and it earns over 5 thousand dollars, probably because people like the mythic concept, the girls and their personality.

One thing that doesn't help this game popularity in this website particularly is that banner picture with Joel, it's the face of the game and it has only a tired ugly old man looking grumpy, it should be a picture of alanna looking sexy or all girls together

about your patreon particularly, your highest tier is too low, people that want to support you with more can't, there is psychos out there that pay 50 bucks monthly to devs (don't remember the benefits). A big part of a successful patreon account is people willing to pay twenty bucks or more

Yes, it makes perfect sense. With Honey Select I can not devote much to nuances, as in the anatomy of female characters. But in compensation I can do a lot of content in a short time, including animations. Incidentally, I could make animations much better if I knew how to create a webm without loss (something totally possible, but that for some reason I can't do with the softwares I use).

I could optimize it even more if I did sprites of the characters. In the simple conversation scenes I could simply recycle the same sprites by placing them in front of a standard background. And only in the most complex scenes would I need to create exclusive images...
The main problem I have with HS games is all the male characters look like someone hit them in the face with a shovel. Faces all flat and round. Of course, the glut of "same game" male characters, because everyone uses the same free/low cost Daz male characters isn't much better.

Add in the fugly male characters and the fact they all are either way overblown in proportion (giant tall) or have no real definition (shoulder to hip ratio is almost identical) plus many dev's like to add 12" dong's to them and they just look silly.

Really like your games, and like all the action shots, but we can only see trhesame shuddering/shaking and squirting orgasm HS woman so many times. Although I do like the HS femal models overall, the ratio's are good and the chest's are generally good. Look at "Perverted Hotel" for what you can do with HS models to make them more 'western' and you might get more Patreons.

Actually the thing that set's Mythic Manor apart is that each girl has their own story, that is only loosely woven into the main male story. In othert words they give the feel they aren't in the game simply to drop everything in their lives for whatever the MC has going on, but more incorporating him into what they already want to do. And it doesn't jump right into sex if the female's story and personality doesn't fit with it.

MM as only a v.3 edition has more story than the majority oggames on their v.5 edition, so I wouldn't call it shallow by any stretch. It reminds me of SoValley in that regard, which is a feather in the cap to both dev's I think.

while I do agree that the girls have their own story, the MC on the other hand has none beyond the fact that he is half mythic, he is just tagging along to get laid, and while I think the events are nice (obviously), they are good more because of the girls personality than because they have some sort of deep story, they have some characteristics related to their mythic species that adds to their personality, but that's all

I just used MM as example because it's a very successful HS game, there is many Daz3d games that has much more story, choices, different paths, etc and they make much less, but it's not that I think MM doesn't deserve it or anything, I enjoy the game a lot as well

this game is awesome... and unlike most of the 3d rendered games, it looks like it's actually finished. I'll take a finished honey select game, with a ton of H content, more than an unfinished 3d game with 1/8th the content.

is this the end of game?
well while this does have multiple ending one ending is left fairly open and still has a lot of room to expand upon and need to be expanded upon so more content will come in the future

Sure, the DAZ3d Girls CAN look better, certainly more detailed, but they often appear completely lifeless and some animations are outright horrible.

With your games and Honey Select the characters while limited can also look good and while animations are not perfect and sometimes have weird bends in the bodies, they are more fluid and live-like than the animations in a lot of DAZ3d games.

I can't speak for others, but I really prefer your games to a lot of those who might have higher quality graphics, because your games are sexy, despite the cheap porn film stories (that's not criticism, but praise, with the way all girls fall for your prots your games could easily be horrible, many of those with MCs like yours are, but you manage to make it work).

The only Thing preventing me from being your patreon is that I`m dirt poor and the little money I have for patreon is all invested in artists and game devs that also need every dollar.
