While it is entertaining to make fun of his ridiculous excuses and those who believe in them. I'll play the devil's advocate for a bit, though I ask you guys, to keep in mind. This is far from what I believe to be the likely scenario.
From my comprehension of the situation he sold the first perioid 1½ years ca. as a period to study 3d modelling. Had he made everthing from scratch in blender and not daz studio. I'd find that more likely, but let's get along with this for the sake of the argument. He was already way over his head before the demo was released. The scope of the project and the work needed was leagues above what he first imagined. Putting himself in a bind with the promises to his supporters and the mixture of guilt and pride he has (in this "argument"). The expectations he has to himself, makes him constantly change minute things back and forth. Things that probably didn't need to be changed in the first place. Making mountains out of mole hills. The perceived problems standing out to him like an eyesore.
All of these aspects could explain the constant movement of the deadlines.
He could have people to look after his Patreon while he focuses on his work. These people know how much it stresses him and how close he is to an actual release. After dozens of people trolled on the Patreon page a less tolerable stance could be had towards people who call him out.
All of this was hypothetical. Even in this most positive case. Everything still points to him needing to pull his head out of his ass. The poor excuses and numerous missed deadlines with little to no insight for his supporters into the development. Is an outright insult towards the intelligence of anyone, who might consider supporting him.
He could have engaged more openly with people, as I have argued numerous times. Building trust in his supporters and general audience in leau of an actual product. Should his efforts have been genuine and everything be hindered by the sheer work load.
