Probably because game development in general is pretty much a shitshow. It's not really worth it unless you're making big money or are really passionate. Working on the same thing for years will eventually get tiring for anyone.

You obviously know ball but I gotta say that it cant be understated that with all the momentum of the Super Team Linnets and the Twins had whilst STILL losing to Sunny, that maybe Sabrinas run was a fluke and she was playing against plumbers, I have to accept that brenda may just be the more skilled competitor though.
I'm with you brother. It's sad that many good games just end before they are done.
But the reality is that hand drawn 2d games take a lot effort. Doing a 30 second loop animation can take a dozen to a couple dozen frames. Depending how fast someone draws, that can take them all day to a week just to sketch them out. Than you have to include inking and coloring each frame too. That's a lot of work for one artist. Which is why most cartoon shows have dozens of artist working on them at any one time.
Combine that with how many don't get the support they need to do this full time, it really kills their spirit to finish their game.

Well actually, the ones I see grind to a halt actually DO get the support to do it full time. I feel like that is part of the issue. They realise they are getting loads of money no matter how much work they put in. Patreon doesnt really incentivize actually working.
Preach. While not necessarily every creator falls into this trap, Patreon and similar models encourage and reward turning supporters into pay pigs. I feel like smut artists were creating more and higher quality work back in the days where commissions were the way to make cash.
There's over 7,000 2dcg games on here. A decent chunk of them are pretty good games that never get the support the dev needs to keep moving forward.
But you're right, with the way Patreon is set up it really doesn't incentivize putting work into a game. And it's heavily abused by not just game dev's, but artists and even authors too. But Patreon isn't going to make any change to its system, then they'd lose out on all that money.

So Ig Art is at 60% and post production might take 3-4 days, so we can ballpark it till Jan 2024.

Or longer. The next two weeks are holiday weeks - lots of family things that people do, and all that. Still having physical therapy on the injury, even though he's working through it. So, there's that.
In the past BreadmanGames has budgeted 1 to 2 weeks for post production (usually 1, though).
If you look at this for the previous update: #6,195 - that previous release was about 6 weeks from that point, even without the holiday season.
The best thing to say is "It comes when it comes, and not a day earlier."

Well, Its quality work so worth the wait. Also I like how Breadman is transparent about his works with his supporters base, not many devs do that.
Take the rest of the year off. Enjoy the holidays.
When are we gonna read the letter? It's really weird that we haven't actually opened the thing yet.

I would expect it be out by next year since not everything in the art section of the progression log isn’t complete yet. Then we have to wait for the testing and programming phases. Probably in the next month or so.
feels like this game is going to turn into the next milftoon drama/bones manor
