The update will only be out in a few hours (unlikely at this point) for the higher tier patreons. The post on patreon said the early access version would be out last week and the full version would be a week later, more or less depending on the amount of bugs found. This ended up being not true since the early access version is only just now being released (unlikely, I will explain) and doesn't even include the full update. I did not want to believe that Dek was actually turning into Dekoda, but every single thing he has said about the update is the same thing Koda would say.
The reason I doubt the update will be coming out in a few hours (it could but not likely) is because of what he said before. We were told a long time ago that the update was finished and all that was left was the artwork. He even went on to say he would release the early access as a version without all the art, similar to how he is now saying that the early access would be only up until a certain point.
At this point, Dek has already crossed the point no game developer should ever cross, lying to your customers. This is not just about us who are not patreons at this point, Dek has actively said things that he should not have said to his paying audience. If the update needed more time, there should be no problems with saying that he needed more time because of bugs. Instead, he said it was finished besides the art, yet that does not seem to be the case. The best move for any game developer to do is never say "update will be out *insert date*" when the update is not atleast 95% complete. Imagine that the day before the launch of a normal game the developers say its not ready, I doubt their customers, company, investors, or retailers would be happy. Game development is a buisness of trust and sadly there have been many developers here who don't care about trust (not to say there are not good developers here who do). This might be an indie porn game, but this industry is just as competetive and trust important as the normal game industry.
Sorry for writing such a long post and reply.
