Yeah. The thing about these kinds of pathetic excuses is that we all know they're bullshit. First off all, if someone 'forgot to save' and lost two weeks, you definitely wouldn't do that twice in a row. The opposite would happen your paranoid brain would over save constantly. Second, let's be honest here, even if they lost four weeks, it's mid October. It should still.be done and released. Frankly there shouldn't be that much coding left to be done unless the Dev has a WILDLY odd process. There should be a tiny bit left and a ton of polish happening, proofing, testing and so on.Let's be charitable and say they have. Devs ran into some problems, and lost a week and a half of work, dude says it happened twice. Fuck it, make it 2 months of work gone. Shit happens, happens to a bigger and more experienced teams even.
I can't access the post from May, as I lost acess when I unsubbed, but look at this.
This is a patreon post from JUNE, where dev apologizes that there will be a slight delay, and they're not gonna make the JUNE release after all, and that it's gonna spill into a JULY.

It's mid October, and there's not even a RELEASE DATE.
At this point, honestly, I am hoping it's just 'scamtreon shenanigans' as someone put it, because if it isn't, then that's just fucking sad.
What I sadly suspect is actually happening. The Dev has been procrastinating. Maybe they had writers block. Maybe they had a death in the family. Maybe a million good reasons. The thing is it doesn't matter.
When a creator gets behind the gun and feels like they are under delivering, they suddenly feel this insane urge to add more and.more promises to keep people happy. Then when they can't meet the original deadlines (much less the massively increased amount of extra content they promised) they have to delay even more, which leads to more promises, which leads to more delays....you get it.
Sandman, if you're listening (and it seems like you are). Clean up whatever you have and release it. It's the only way out of the ccurrent cycle. If you're worried about losing subs, you're gonna lose the ones you're gonna lose anyway. But you won't lose them all. Radiant is a straight up scam and they certainly don't.
If you're trying to impress people, (such as former subs like me) . Well you're not going to do that either. Your game is amazing and I think you are a decent guy trying to bring your vision into reality. But you haven't had any forward momentum in years. Regular updates is what builds trust and reputation among consumers.
