I swear... Every Patreon can triple it's income by solely having a set date and respecting it.
It is SUCH AN IMPORTANT FACTOR when it comes to loyalising your fan base.

this dude came out of the box with one of the highest quality and longest demos i have ever seen. probably damn near a year's worth of work? 9 months? there's been lots of talk about this before. there's 194 pages of comments. shit games do NOT get 194 pages of comments. in all fairness, he could've chopped it up and held some parts back for later release and no one would've known any different. then dev went and changed its engine from rpgm to renpy in what? 3 weeks? and THEN rolled out his updates.
