How is the game free to play?
Since this is a VN I would find weird for there to be micro transactions in-game. How are the developers making money with this game?

That's great, but how are you making money? I suppose you spent resources making the game, so how is it free?

Thanks!

They may not be making money; some people just do it for fun. And I can't speak for them in particular, but some people (like the Sunrider guys) raise money through Kickstarter to be able to release the game for free. Sometimes it's also an advertisement for future work, like Reversion - The Escape, which was released for free to increase interest in their second paid chapter. Dischan also released Jupiter's Knot for free before releasing their paid product, Dysfunctional Systems.

Sunrider is also sustaining itself with some merch, if I recall it well.

Anyway, thank you devs (and translators) for releasing what seems to be a good VN for free.

Thank you developers!

Thanx, I've started to play it and looks very interesting and cute art.

Ah alright, I get it. Thanks for the game then!
They're making money because they own trained dinosaurs and they let you hire them for rides. They use the money to pay the development team.

I'm the dinosaur breeder. I wouldn't lie to you.

My theory is that Soviet Games has investors watching the rate of downloads, the more downloads this game gets the more rubles in the bank, its as simple as that

Investors? In game-development, not web-services? In Russia?

Sounds like a dream...
