UnrulyAction's patreon is now unavailable. Does this mean that it's now cancelled? or is it still considered as an Onhold project?
Hope that his brother's recovery goes well, so he can focus on making his passion projects properly and a rest.
IDK, from his last post it seemed that his brother was, well, dying. UA said his health "took a turn for the worse" and "that they didn't know how much time they had left together" which to me means that his brother is beyond the point where he could feasibly recover.
I honestly would probably put this in the "cancelled" pile, because it could take months for UA to fully process the death of his sibling, and to move on, and that even
disregarding the possibility that this game would instead remind him of this period in his life (because despite it being a passion project, he still worked on it while his brother was dying).
So yeah. Of course, I would love to see him pick this up again in a couple months or a year, but I would not hedge your bets at all.
Okay, but I, as a basic gamer, don't read into the circumstances of devs. I am here for a product not a personality. Does that suck? Definitely. Monumentally. Is it our responsibility as consumers to support someone supplying a product financially? No. We aren't friends, we aren't family. I never said they should have worked on it more, I said they shouldn't release an unfinished or subpar product. If you're leaving a project entirely, sure push out what you have and move on for other people to futz with.
But please, bitch about me more because I'm unhappy with a boring sandbox porn game that barely functions. Would I have said anything HAD I KNOWN? Probably not. But MOST PEOPLE will see an update, click download, and that is the end of the interaction.
No offense to you but ever heard of a thing called "real-life context"? I get what you mean, to an extent, but at the same time - we don't exist in a vacuum. Outside circumstances are a thing, and something you do need to keep in mind more often than not.
