Hello Patrons!
Update still coming but I am adding 2 scenes of Evelyn back in that I took out because I wanted to save time and intended to add later in the month with Ava's content, but it just makes a lot more sense to release it like this so Evelyn's pacing is better.

So far there is about 100 items in this update, 80 being webm's and I am still adding to it so this one in particular is double a regular update but the next one with Ava will be more similar to a normal update size.

So yeah, a bit more waiting but at least Evelyn's content will be better on arrival.

Thanks for the support and I'll be back soon with 0.02 probably later next week or weekend.

maybe the fact that we're going to have updates of some of the most iconic games in the near future (such as Midnight Paradise and Being a Dik) made him hurry...:unsure:

He needs to release something in order to sink hooks deeper in patreon audience, to keep illusion of progress alive and continue to milk them for next seven to twelve months. Feed them small pieces and they'll come back for more.

I don't think the mods are sticking up for this dev. They'd have kept the shills comments too. Rather they probably just reacted to one of them reporting reporting me. They seem to have deleted most of the conversation between me and the "100% genuine" *cough cough* accounts, which I don't see much wrong in doing. I saw the shill online before it happened. So I guess the person tried to report me. They took a look at the conversation and saw I wasn't trolling. Deleted that part of the thread instead of nuking it.

Well, I pledged £2 to call him out - politely, I might add - and was promptly blocked. So he can avoid questions but not provide updates.

I really, really hope people don't continue to support this person. There were comments from people in the last update who'd posted in the demo release. It's sad to think they've been subscribed to them for so long.

Fool and money, etc etc... but still.

So, the "honest", "serious" and "true" dev psychodelusional doesn't even stand reply a call from a supporter? This tell way more about his character than been scamming people for 2 years with the promisse of a release of a game. In the cry baby post he made in february, where he play the "mental health" card to appeal to patron's pity, he said he will reply who DM him on patreon. But, it's seems another lie from him.

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.

They deleted me a post too. Reason: off topic

I don't think that talking about a developer of a game on the thread of his game is off topic. I really wish I could talk about the game, but I can't because there is no game, because the "demo" is more a trailer than a demo and it is all there is in almost three years. I'm sorry I can't talk about the game, but I'll be happy to when the developer delivers one instead of apologize saying that he can't meet the deadlines he promised because he didn't sleept well
