6.0 just came out last month, if the pattern continues it could be a few more months before 6.5.
Nah, kidding
As for me... I used to work as a web/app developer. This whole Yiffalicious thing was something I did on my spare time. I started working on it lightly during the spring (2014), although the game I originally had intended was something completely different. By autumn, I was basically working on it every evening, weekend and holiday, and this continued for more than 6 months. As you might imagine, by the time we finally launched the app, I was kinda burnt out. There was no way I could continue working on my day job and keep up with the app at the same time, so I had to make a choice. It was scary, because when we launched the app, the revenue didn't pick up quite as fast as I had hoped, and I didn't know if the campaign was going to be a success or not. So I worked as hard as I could over the summer, using up all my semester and sick leave to focus entirely on the game. This was the most crucial time for the project, because if we hadn't managed to attract enough patrons I would have to go back to my day job and significantly reduce the time spent on Yiffalicious.
Luckily, the campaign was a success (eventually), and I felt confident I could continue doing this and still pay my bills. So I quit my day job, and have been doing this ever since.
I worked various jobs before I got a job in advertisement when I was studying Graphics design when I went to a rather faceless, boring college in north of Sweden (Nydalahöjd represent yo)
I worked as a fisherman for one summer on the south east coast, that was interesting and I was almost on the verge of going in as an apprentice for an old farrier at one point but we never got that far because of his pancreas cancer, that was a sad conclusion, because I really liked that lifestyle of work.
But other then that, various jobs as a designer for advert, some posters and stuff like that, never finished my BA because a friend had started a small company with a lot of connections and wanted me on board, I might return some day to finish it off but right about now I really don't want anything to do with college because I was damn sick of it even when I was studying.
Later got a job as a teacher in Photoshop and Illustrator. Then in late December of 2014 Odes contacted me since he saw some 3d stuff I've played around with.
And the rest is history.
Thanks for the insight from both of you
Anyway, each time I revised the idea of what the game should be, I cut down on the advanture stuff, and eventually there was nothing left but the sex things. And even that changed a lot too. At first I was thinking of creating a couple of predefined poses, set up in 3D software. But all that changed into the yiff editor you see today.
Edit:
... However... I wouldn't mind a story mode in yiffalicious. Give players a short paragraph and an objective to create an interaction that matches the story as much as possible. I know THAT would just make the game much more complicated though.
