Oof, haven't checked in a while, but his current Patreon Goal(s) is kinda laughable.
3 step goal thing. 1. for interest (which there is, but justifiable skepticism) 2. clinging to the Wallpaper method, 3. New hardware, I'm sorry but there was coasting extra money, Even If he had a primary job to make money with. There be enough money for probably a couple of hardware refreshes.
Seriously if he seriously wants to continue making the game, then he needs to put in the work, and probably give away 3 updates for free almost.
I get it still costs time and other investment to develope, but getting complacent or any other type of behavior that comes across insincere just makes you suck.
And find other ways to make Patreon stuff more interesting.
