This team have never really done release dates - Ever really actually.
- There have been a consensus if you go back that releases happens each 2nd month, which fitted the time the team needed to push out x amount of scenes and implement story and so on - Sometimes these releases did get postponed due to whatever reason.
- This actually changed when the game reached version 1.0, here Starke tried to do monthly released as best as he could to fit the new free-roam content and DLC content.
- The last patch "hobo patch" was very big and they had to use around 2 months time to actually get it done.
- Its the same with the "summer patch" which is really big and don't fit the monthly release timeframe.
That said I do see what you mean and you might be right, if you are only checking patreon(and not twitter, discord and podcast) its properly hard to follow what is going on.
- So I will bring the critique forward to Starke
