It's extremely frustrating to get a taste of a story as good as "Charon 13" already, after only one instalment, most certainly hints that it might be. However, knowing the prodigious amount of work required in developing a Renpy visual novel to any level of acceptability, to say nothing of the exceptional levels Mr Hanson has already shown he is clearly more than capable of attaining, there can be absolutely no argument against legitimacy here and just how difficult it must surely be to try and work around a real life quandary such as Mr Hanson and many, many other sincere creators clearly face daily. We, of course, have nothing better to do than sit on our hands and wait and hope, but there's really no-one to blame. It's just a circumstance of fortune.
It's also, of course, a double edged sword, because even though I would normally be keenly inclined to do so, I shall certainly not for one moment consider subscribing to Patreon, because under this circumstance, I could make not the slightest difference either to Mr Hanson's dilemma or the rate of future development, if any. Sadly, we're all screwed here.
It's just almost trragic to think that, based on what is already known of Mac Hanson's AVN capabilities, this potentially juicy, seemingly intriguing little peach of a story is just hanging there on the vine hardly ripening at all *sigh* ...
