Totally irrelevant in this case. TTLL, himself, repeated in this same thread, a lot of times, that he was a slow worker. Use the search button if you don't believe me. He never mentioned anything about having a real job or being a student. Desire or free time got nothing to do with this. At this point, it's just pure milking. Nothing else. Update should have come out on February 2021, this year. We are now in September. Almost 7 long months have passed and not once, did he talk about the progress of the game.
No estimation, no progress %, not a single hint about the storyline, nothing. Nada. Just wallpapers and polls about wallpapers. Watch this thread from the very start. The oldest players, me included, were always patient, always defending him, always comprehensive. This is not free bashing. This is pure anger and disappointment towards a Dev in whom I believed and who didn't play the honesty/transparency card.
