This discussion is valid for at least 70% of the games seen here. At one point or another most games are abandoned and the creator starts a new project due to various reasons or goes by a different alias so we can't always know what to expect from some new games.
Also, some of the comments here are a bit... zealous, considering what I just wrote above. Most of the time "life" happens and things don't go according to plan. The only fault of the creators is that they are keeping patrons on a leash for some time without any updates before their numbers start to drop and then make an official announcement that they have to quit the project for whatever reasons.
Just give the man some slack, keep a close eye if you're interested, and be his patron for a month or two if development is to your liking (I either patron for a decent sum $10 or $20 for 2-3months or $3 or $5 for a longer period just so I can say I "paid" for the game... this is mostly for my own conscience). If you're not interested, you're not, keep away and that is that.
As long as this kind of services or products are not sold per se you cannot really complain. You are supporting a creator/developer so they can dish out the stuff you like. You don't like it anymore you don't "have to" support anyone anymore.
dev keep up the good work and get a finished product out in a decent timeframe to sort out any bad rep you may have. Doing otherwise will prove them right.
