Don't think so. Nothing in this thread suggests that it's a Pateron only or something like that. I could be wrong.
They're working on closing polish, and looking to release a major, final version bump (and then probably bug fixes after). If you want progress updates, I suggest their twitter:

Judging by how unusually long this last update is taking and now silent Mirthal has been, it feels like the game has been finished before this year began and now it just sits on his HDD because it will sell better in summer or something similar to that.
upd: just found out he rakes in 10k/month, it all makes sense now.

I wish the creators would just finish this game already. It was practically ready a year ago and they just keep adding miniquests and additional dungeon content. I wish they would just start working on a whole new game already. Patreon business model really seems to disincentivize finishing projects :/

Indeed.
It can't be that a final release takes more time, as announced:
It can't be that they are animating old stuff, as promised many times and even shown publicly:
It can be that they are translating the game to several languages and adding mod support for any non-official language:
No, no, no.
It is ALWAYS DEVELOPER GREED. Because 10k on Patreon is mad money dude! Nothing comparable to Steam!
You know, unless you are completely ignorant of how Steam works and the amount of money releasing a game actually makes:
This is what a NSFW game made in a bit more than year btw. And it's not even that popular (has a 20% the amount of reviews Aurelia has here in F95 to put some sort of comparison.) Almost like there is a reason why everyone is migrating there.
I'm keeping the dev anonymous because I don't want anyone to get shit for this screenshot.
I mean, trust me broh! Fallout New Vegas was done in two years!
And all they had is:
- An incredibly popular IP
- The engine used for the previous game.
- Lore and worldbuilding of said game
- Like half the assets to build said game. (UI, enemies, buildings, items, etc...)
- Being published by a multi-million dollar corporation.
- A budget most likely exceeding a million
And if they post anything! They already had it done and didn't release it! Obviously!
They are SO METICULOUS that they even keep a fake tracking of the scenes left to do:
And an entire fake discord server where they have entirely fake discussions about content:
Just in case someone hacks them like I did. Tips fedora.
Because lets be serious people, what is more plausible?
Developers working on a project like they've done until now for 6 years?
Or...
Dark secrets the
And yes, this is in fact, satire.
And yes, I'm finishing the game.

Imagine being so assmad you write this wall of text over a forum post you know to be factually untrue. A reasonable person would have chuckled and moved on.

Imagine being so assmad as to accuse someone of being a scammer. It really shows what you think of other people, and what you would be doing in their shoes.

Mirthal, I'm sorry that I pissed you off with my comments today. I know it's annoying to see people like me making comments about you not finishing the game because of Patreon money. If it's any consolation, I did review Aurelia 5/5 here, and I paid several months to your Patreon, and I'm always recommending Aurelia everywhere as I think it's a great game. So I'm not a hater or troll who is just whining from the sidelines, I'm a huge fan of the game who is disappointed after seeing a mountain of dungeon content and minigames instead of finishing the main plotline.
You keep satirically using words like "GREEDY", while I had no intention of attacking your character. The way I see it, you're creating and selling games - it's a business, and there's nothing wrong with making money. I genuinely think that the Patreon model is incentivizing the prolonged development for many games, Aurelia included ("prolonged" in negative connotation here, as opposed to actually finishing the games). That's a flaw of the system, not a character flaw of game developers. If I was personally earning $10k per month on Patreon for a single-project Patreon account, I would definitely try to find ways to prolong the development, and I don't consider myself to be an evil or greedy person.
You posted some numbers with the implication that the way to maximize revenue would be to release the game on Steam as soon as possible. You made it sound like the Steam revenue stream will shrink or disappear if the Patreon development is prolonged. That's not going to happen. If Aurelia stays longer in Patreon development, then the Steam revenue will simply come later. That Steam money is not gonna evaporate into thin air, you just get it later. So it seems to me that the way to maximize revenue would be to prolong development to collect Patreon money, while polishing the game such that it will ensure great reviews on Steam upon release, and finally, release the game on Steam as late as possible. (I don't pretend to know exactly what is the optimal time point to finish the game for maximizing revenue. Of course there are many factors are at play, like how much the game is gaining or losing interest across time, when is the game fully polished to have great reviews on Steam, etc. The optimal timepoint is not going to be "delay release indefinitely", I'm not claiming that.)
I would just love to see Aurelia finished, I didn't want to bash on you or anything like that. You've said that you're focusing on the important stuff now, and that's great to hear. And if that truly was the case then perhaps my comments were entirely unwarranted. Sorry to have pissed you off like this, and sad to see this was enough to get me banned from your Discord. I'm just gonna sit on the sidelines and stop commenting on Aurelia altogether, I don't wanna be a thorn at your side. I wish you all the best and I'm planning to buy the game when it's finished.

Don't listen to the haters Mirthal. This is by far one of the greatest adult games ever made. That holds true with even the current content, let alone the final release. I can't wait to see what's next after 1.0.

all i can say is i can't believe how beautiful these pics look
i hope whatever you do next will retain the pixel art even if it's a different setting

There will certainly be more pixel-art stuff coming from us, but if I can I'll try to have some other projects with different styles.
I would at the very least post your twitter posts to your Patreon or something to make it look more lively, it makes it look like the project has been dead since October and I think that's where all the milking comments come from, you could also have a lot more supporters that way. This is the first time I have seen this game and I thought it was dead because the Patreon is the first thing I click on. Also, I know you didn't intend it, but this long post makes it look like you couldn't care less about your supporters since they only give you 10k compared to other people making more on steam rather than the fact that you are just working hard on a final release, just a heads up.
Edit: Also good luck on the full release, its great to see a game actually finish on this site haha.
