It’s sad but it’s the people that lets these kinda devs get away with it. I’m sure if people just pay the month that update comes out, we’d see more regular updates. There are good devs out there that communicates a lot thought, those i’d support.

That's the whole point - why sweat yourself releasing contents when you can actually do nothing and still earn money? All he has to do is show his face once every few months, make some fake promises and people will pay for his bills. Until they realized nothing is being delivered it's already too late. Some will even keep on subscribing because they already put in some money and cannot accept the fact that they have been scammed, so they are just betting he will come back one day. Even until today you go to his discord there are still idiots defending him by saying he may be secretly working on the game and just don't feel like talking, and calling anyone toxic if they ask why no update. The existence of such people is the reason why this dev dare to ghost for months and break his promises time after time.
I remember before the last update there was a dude on his discord who verbatim said "I know he only replies to me because I'm a 50$ tier Patron", and it was among the saddest shit I have ever read in my life. Parasociality and sunk cost combined together makes ppl do dumb shit, huh.

Please note: if I see a number of posts that seem to indicate a belief that the dev has explicitly abandoned this game, I'll repost my note about that again. That said, I don't disagree with those who feel the game has been implicitly abandoned; I just feel the need to clarify things for those that don't dig through the past pages.

My own feeling? It's entirely likely that the dev, if he actually went to try to close out a "season 1", realized that it was next to impossible to do so in any clean manner, and decided to push everything out indefinitely while he either tried to figure out how to bring open items to some sort of closure, how to rewrite everything to make things more coherent, or even just sat back to see how long he keeps getting money from his patrons. (Note: I am not a patron, so for all I know he's stopped actual charging on Patreon, as some creators do if they hit a rough patch where they aren't creating. I am however assuming that has not happened.)

I won't say this will never see another update of some sort. I wouldn't hold my breath for it, though.

As for stopping charges on patreon, no, he has not.

I could see the abandonment coming from miles away, especially since he hasn't posted anything on his itch page in over a year. The latest release posted about there was 0.7, and the latest public release was 0.6.10, which was posted June 10, 2022. No idea when his newest comment was over there, since any post in the comments more than a year old simply says "over a year ago".

if you compare his end-of-the-month peaks, he's lost about 600 patrons since april when he peaked at around 2.2k

these devs are the reason patreon should add a clause that doesnt allow blatant scamming

maybe he's just feeling stressed out from the expectations, delivering is hard that way. I'll keep an eye on the thread, it's a good game and while I would suspend patronage (not a patron myself either), I won't give up hope. It's not like waiting would cost me anything...
if expectations feel overwhelming, he needs to hire ppl to work on areas he feels lacking in. ah, but that would mean less money, eh?

he had multiple posts on discord (before i got banned lol) where he said hes not good at coding which hinders his progress (allegedly), and there were multiple ppl offering to help him for free, and he was like "ye thx bud maybe after season one is finished". this was in february, before the last 10 minute, bug-riddled joke of an update. the update, that according to the dev, was "ready in last september".

he doesnt deserve the benefit of doubt. please, go play pale carnations and support gil&td instead of this dude.

patreon itself really need to face some serious charges the damn site is a hotbed for so many blatant scams not just from these fking small time swindlers porn games, but some promise of actual physical products that never deliver that I'm amaze no law enforcement agencies step in to shut it down yet.

This developer only updated at most one version 0.9 from July 2022 to July 2023, and nothing has been heard of 1.0, which was promised to be released at the beginning of 2023, while the developer collects monthly sponsorship fees in silence. This has bordered on fraud!!!!:cautious::cautious:

Patreon needs to do something about the complaints and reports in its website.
Reporting and complaining on Patreon is null and void and does absolutely nothing. :(

I suspect the negativity got to him. The best chances for a turnaround would be some people joining his Discord to wish him well and hope he comes back to continue the game because we enjoy it. That won't happen of course, but he's a person like anyone, and pressure to perform can get to anyone.
