Hi there, GunDriver.
You're asking us to pick up the pace, but we've also received several comments saying the pace is being too fast, both opinions make a lot of sense, so there isn't a right or wrong, it all depends on how much each person enjoys the initial parts of a corruption arch story. It's impossible for us to please everyone.
Our goal is to make the game fun to as many people as possible, while still keeping the project fun for VelcroFist and myself.
The game is free to play and it's above all just a passion project.
I'm sorry, but this sentence confused me. As far as I can tell our Patreon numbers have been steadily increasing each month...

We lost a lot of Patrons when the month flipped, that's true. However, this is what happens every month, with pretty much every content creator I know.
The rate of growth is reducing, so it's quite possible that you'll be right within the next month or anytime soon.
We're 100% transparent with our numbers, it's all publicly available. I want people to be fully informed when they decide whether or not they'll support the project.
I'm truly grateful for all the support our Patrons have been kindly giving us and it would be a dream come true to eventually reach numbers that could turn this into a career.
I just hope we'll complete this project one day and that enough people will like it. I love the community that started forming because of this, and I've made some great friends because of the Casey's Fall server.
You mentioned "Too little to do on each update.".
I really really do wish we could deliver more. The weak link in this whole operation is me... As the programmer and render artist of the project, I'm the one that is making these updates be so slow. I'm sorry but I can't make this any faster. VelcroFist is the writer, and he already has a lot of the story planned pretty much all the way to the end.
Sometimes even putting one rendering scene together can take hours for me.
All I can say is that I hope you and others can understand that we are putting a lot of effort into this game. I often wonder if I am putting even too much.
I am afraid of burning out. Or turning this into a project that I no longer love.
I would hate to see this project getting abandoned unfinished.
