Take a page from the customer service world: it's typically better to under promise and over deliver, rather than the other way around.

I'm not complaining, just suggesting whatever approximate release date you might have, add 2-4 weeks to it. If it's a few weeks "late", then it's actually on time. If it's on-time, then it's early! Everyone wins! :)

I think monthly Patreon subscribers will understand, as long as it's good content.
His patrons know already. It is just here that some whiny pirates feel entitled to have the game "NOW".

In the next update will there be consequences for the Harem path ? Or should I replay choosing only one girl ?
There is no harem in this game. Plenty of hints from the start that cheating isn;t going to end well.

Silence again?promised January 31,then 3 days later, already 2 weeks have passed, all the noodles were removed from the ears?
*sigh* What do you want me to say? That I screwed up the dates? Yes, I screwed up. I didn't take into account that the proofreading would take longer because there was more text in the script, too. As you can understand, my English is far from perfect, so proofreading is hard work, and I can't rush the enthusiasts who help me make the project better.

Honestly, all this hostility seems excessive to me (I'm not talking specifically about your post). I paused on Patreon in January, even though I've been working hard on this update all that month. It will come out for all Patron $5 Tier and above at the same time, without delay. Also, I said that everyone who was my Patron in January or December but is no longer a Patron will also receive the new version. What else should I do?

I learned my lesson for the future, no dates. Not even an estimate. Any plans that may go wrong are definitely going to go wrong, but at least this way you won't get blamed. And, of course, in the future, I'll make a priority on shorter updates. I guess that will be less of a headache for me, and you won't feel cheated because of the long wait times.

PS. Please no need to defend me under this post or anything like that. I understand why some people are upset about the extra wait time and my incorrect predictions about the release date, and I'm just giving my opinion and explaining the whole situation from my perspective. As for the release date, once again, the script is currently being proofread. As soon as it's finished, you'll get a release right away. That's it.

Tsss.... I know you said to not defend you, but Sorry man, it's almost impossible not to. You don't deserve this. Ignore the cry babies. No matter what they say, you are a serious Dev. They are whinning as if you're some type of Devil or Scam, which is far from the truth.

I personnally don't care if the update is not on time, I play other games so it's not really a problem. I know I'm totally satisfied with "Become a rock star" and I'm sure the next update will be great as always, so no worries for me :)

That's because it is. Unfortunately no matter what you do, some people are going to complain. Learning to live with people trashing you for stupid reasons will be key if you continue developing these games.
I learned my lesson for the future, no dates. Not even an estimate. Any plans that may go wrong are definitely going to go wrong, but at least this way you won't get blamed.
This is an excellent idea, which has been adopted by many devs because of this constant hounding about missed release ETAs.
And, of course, in the future, I'll make a priority on shorter updates. I guess that will be less of a headache for me, and you won't feel cheated because of the long wait times.
And now I'm going to complain (see above - someone always complains).

I guess it depends what you mean by shorter updates. If you mean aiming for the normal size updates you usually do, then that's fine - easier for you is a good thing.

If you mean cutting content just to to hit regular release schedules, then I'm firmly against that. This sort of approach tends to butcher natural story progression & results in lots of odd cliff-hangers - which many will complain about. I'd much rather a dev spends the extra time to get good story progression/content per update rather than hits some arbitrary schedule.

Can't please everyone, just keep doing the best you can & most people will be happy enough. Then your headaches are less likely to turn into migraines.
