I can't believe DarkCookie makes 32k+ a month. That's crazy. My mind can't comprehend that kind of money lol XD

That's around 385,000 dollars a year. People would kill to make that kind of money.

Makes sense though, this game is ahead of its time.

Though it's of course a business now which means he'll have to pay taxes, has to pay the people who write, animate, code and pose for him (as fas far as I'm aware he said that his wife manages most of the paper work) etc.
It's of course still very good money but that's what you get when you are producing one of best games in a genre "on the planet" in a globalized world. It's a lot easier to make good money when you've got a potential audience of a billion people and more compared to just a couple of million.

Well, it's for quite some time which counts for quite a lot in the "english speaking community". I'm sure there may be some japanese games and especially browser based games which make better money but those are another topic I guess.

You don't consider cost ? ... actually people who paid $1000/month is actually sad. 30.000/month is normal rate for amateur level. Kompas is a team of 8, 6 are the main developers of the game. Cost of small team like this is variant between $20.000 - $50.000 /month. Base salary, bonus per picture, bonus per ## coding, bonus per story sheet, etc. If you think DC became a rich guy from this game, you are dead wrong. In fact, probably he can only save money max. $2000/month for himself. Even the most "Reputable" porn game maker income, are still far from the normal office salary.

I think you are overstating some cost here. As far as I'm aware DC said once that he's is the only one who works full time one the project and most other people have normal jobs besides SS. In the end it would be pretty odd if he would pay people who work less more money than himself.
