@Kasey sorry about your experience. however, there are some new developers here that are well worth the patreon and they frequently interact with this community whether they are a patron or not.
i tried playing this game a few versions ago and while I did like the modeling the story and gameplay made no sense so I stopped playing all together.

I understand that but when a dev comes here with that arrogant attitude thinking that they are just telling a bunch of pirates "fuck you, I'll do what I want!" they need to realize that there are a lot of us in here that are patrons too, whether we were before joining here to discuss games with like minded people or whether we came here to get games and started supporting the devs of the games we really enjoyed, they need to take note that when you shit on a large audience, you never know who will be watching and how it will affect your future. To be honest about it I was not the only top tier supporter of Slonique on this site and I do know that there were other base supporters too and it would not surprise me in the least if they, like I, ended my financial relationship with a developer that does not seem to care about their patrons.
Lol. I remember your butthurt about Big Brother. Here we go again.
Let me explain something. Patreon is not a shop. Artist is not your slave. Your pledge is a charity, not a contract. When you leave money at church, you don't expect that Jesus will shake your hand, right?
Next time instead of giving $15 to one artist, try to give a dollar to 15 artists. That will ease you pain when some of them start making their games not the way you like.

Wow!
While I AM a patron, and agree that patronage is a gift, I became one with the hope that you would advance the work from tease-fest, to fuck-fest. That you are now shitting on the disappointed, makes it awful easy to move on.

Couple of things...
Ever thought about a job in retail?
If you want people to consider their financial contributions mere donations then you should make it abundantly clear that your Patreon is just a tip jar and no more. I don't mean that as an attack, people have a tendency to expect a service in return when they give money so a clearly visible disclaimer would really help in that regard.
I'm all for letting artists develop their own vision, but when you don't deliver on your promises it's a bit rich to try and sell that as freedom of artistic expression.
Anyway, you do you, best of luck with your future projects.
Very professional, that'll win them right over.

Easy there, you're definitely not Jesus.

That would be cool and all, except the person you're talking to was perfectly fine with letting you make the game you want. The problem was you failed to finish the game you said you wanted to make.

I promised to finish the game. I finished the game.
I could just abandon my patreon, as many others do, and keep milking people, but I don't want to fool my patrons for a fistful of dollars. I also published the game free for all because it would be not fair to sell it when is it over. Yes, I'm not a salesman.

But you don't expect either that Jesus try to fuck you in the ass, althought, the priest, he might try ! So in this case, you took charity and fucked your patrons in the ass....so Catholic of you.
Charity demands nothing in return, on patreon the "so called-artist" offer a service with parameters and people decide to pledge or not. So it become a MORAL contract, and then the "artist" choose to fullfill his part or not...
Btw i'm not a former patrons of yours, i thought about it but nahhh my sixth sense saved me
PS; artist is not self-proclammed title, you are named one by others !!!!
Simply enough, had you removed or greyed out the unattainable stars and made some events 2 star events & some 3 and not created expectation by publishing what content would be in v13 & v14 then called it a day there would be no issue. Enough said...

thread is being derailed me thinks from the back and forth from dev and unhappy (and possibly former) patreons.
@TCMS @muttdoggy @Bloo maybe consider locking for now?

While locking it might be the proper response, honestly giving the dev more rope to hang himself with his superiority complex is also quite entertaining. Plus it does provide additional fuel for posting the next time something gets put out by him so people can be warned.
wow so what you're saying is that the people that saw, in this case @Kasey, potential in your game or liked it enough to GIVE you $15 to HELP you work the things you SAID would be in the game should just "fuck off"? (that is what you portray in your responses)
Let me ask you this more directly. Would you work on your games if you didn't have patrons?
another one. For your new game there is a $15 tier (coincidence i suppose) for "HARDCORE" scenes, will the game really have it?
oh btw fuck off with the church and jesus shit when i leave money at church i can at least see that the church is clean and actually use it for the things they need to keep the church open and when theyd told me that next month (which was july) they were gonna remodel the entrance with the money from june, guess what? they actually DELIVERED so again fuck off with the church and jesus and don't try to hide behind it

oi fuckhead, the patrons ain't your bitches either, they are customers. and you fucking owe it to them to provide what you promised. when you sell someone something saying it will have a such and such and you only provide half you are committing fraud. so whether you like it or not you are a fraud. you can say haters gonna hate all you want but it doesn't change the fact you lied, and broke your promise to all your patrons, and are a fraud.
Actually he is right patreon is a charity , and patrons are not customers , they should cancel their pledge and be done with it .

I beg your pardon?? Wow, alright... I normally do not like to mix in, conversing with people in heated discussion about topics so deliberately obvious like this one. But for once I'd like to give it a go if you do not mind.

Two things are necessary for our work:
Indefatigable perseverance and the willingness to throw away something to which you have spent a great deal of time and effort.
So, when Slonique thinks, this game is in a death end, throw it away and start a new one.

You can do all of that with out asking for money. Once money enters the equation you have a responsibility to fulfill your promises.
But this is why I will never donate to Patreon again. I've supported projects twice and got burned both times. There are really no repercussions for this kind of behavior either.
