If any of that is true, then Rainces should either just give up on the game and stop blocking other people from running with it. Or stop charging their patrons. It comes back again to their lack of communication. And his shyness/pride/whatever is not anyone else's problem other than his, assuming those are actually part of the issue and not just you trying to come up with your own head-canon for his actions. He's neither too shy nor too proud to take people's money for several months at a time and give nothing in return, or to repeatedly lie to people. If he wants to abandon the game, cool. Or if they just can't physically do it anymore because of how messed up their own code is, also cool. Just tell people and stop taking their money. Or if they're too shy to tell them, at least stop taking their money and close down their patreon and other pay sites.

# Sorry my good friend but no. I understand that developing such a game (sandbox) is quite troublesome with ren'py only adding up, but I'm with the angry people:
- his work was full of bugs, misspellings, poor quality renders (old jenny,...) and none of those stopped him from releasing it as is. Worse, that didn't stop him from milking it really hard ( with deceiving release dates and teasers, postponing releases, stranding game progression ).
- all devs stumble upon many issues ( daz rendering is demanding, coding is hard, ren'py is prone to bugs,... ). It's not something RAInces is facing alone... But only a few stumbled upon success as he did and instead of drawing extra motivation to keep improving it, that only made him stop to think about ways of milking it the most.
Afraid of sounding as a weakling? To man up is never a sign of weakness:
- The game is not ready? don't announce it then, even if your patreon is getting low.
- It's almost done but you came across unexpected critical errors? warn people it's going to take a bit longer
- No intention of game progression to avoid killing the cash cow? Just fight that urge, bust your ass off to make it good for as long as possible... (don't feel like it? just drop it then)
So simple...

As long as people want to see more of the game they will support the developer. It's as simple as that. This is the reason sites like patreon and subscribestar exist.
Also, judging by what people are saying on discord Rainces paused payments for now. He probably can't spend time working on the game.
Olha ele... Está de volta o guarda pretoriano. Bem-vindo amigo. Preparado para mais um round? Desta vez temos que fazer menos barulho ou somos censurados...
# He's back, the praetorian guard. Welcome friend. Feeling replenished and ready for another round? We've got to be more quiet this time or else we'll get censored again. Yeah everything you mention seems right and reasonable. But let's get a closer look into it:
- where's "more of the game"?
I've always admitted Jenny update as being a great effort despite the lack of story progression and a not so good new model. Other than that, how many times and when were there any significant "more of the game" releases after his first one (5 yrs ago)?
- how many times has he claimed he paused payments?
If all his actions are meant to keep the milking on (instead of regular updates), if he keeps misleading about everything else, what would make me think he's telling the truth about that?
People are free to support whoever they want, in whatever context/situation (milking) they find acceptable. But they've got to understand they're only hurting their pocket and game progression.

Instead of writing these long posts you should just join his discord and wait like the rest of us.Olha ele... Está de volta o guarda pretoriano. Bem-vindo amigo. Preparado para mais um round? Desta vez temos que fazer menos barulho ou somos censurados...

People kept saying he paused payments before. This was prior to the last update. Since people were being so emphatic about it, I subscribed and stayed subscribed to his patreon for three months in a row at the $1 tier, and confirmed that I was charged each month. Maybe he had paused it for a month sometime before that, and "forgot" that you have to manually renew it each month thereafter. Maybe he did it for one month this time too, and "forgot" to renew it. We'd need a confirmed patron of his to let us know what months, if any, they were not billed for. I suspect people are taking his word they aren't being billed but aren't actually checking or decided not to bring it up if they did see it. Honestly, I never checked my monthly patreon receipt until I was confirming whether Rainces was billing me or not.
Assim não dá pica...
# Where's tarzan999 who would defend him with all he'd got? Kidding man. Despite what you may think I really enjoy reading your comments and fencing with you. But now that you came back you sound so reasonable and calm... No fun
I just hope the thread doesn't get frozen like the last time Tarzan showed up to make a heroic stand.
Não vai
# It won't... It seems he learned to become a bit wiser (a little more and he changes sides
) and a lot more pacient. Traits that he'll need if he wants to keep standing his ground.

he said problably on the end of this summer (1/2 months)
If that holds true, my suspicion is that we'd magically get an update from Rainces around that same time, positioned to try to steal attention away from it. I'm fairly sure an update is coming from Rainces in any case, but certain things seem to trigger a sense of urgency in them and then suddenly... bam! Update.
("steal his thunder")
Yeah, I can see that happening. But I think OGRey will probably "crush" any competition...That's a lie, only on two occasions did he stop the charges for a month, he also said to return in a way not to charge for 3 months and that didn't happen either, so if you are not Raincest or you don't get any benefit from it I don't understand why you defend with lies... as I already told you once, if you are going to say nonsense, you better get back on your Tarzan branch
You should be grateful to the people that support him financially because without them rainces would have disappeared years ago.
