If the 8.0 update wasn't already disappointing, the 8.0.1 managed to raise the bar of disappointment.
Honestly at this point, I am just assuming Deka did it on purpose. Have very little content out with poor quality, a broken mess of an update (Which apparently he seemed to be aware of), only to have a fix ready as his number of Patreons started dwindling due to people waiting for 8.0 to come out. Then you get them hooked and make them renew their subscription with an update that ends up offering you... Absolutely nothing in extra.
From a now deleted post of sssssnek from a few days ago, he mentioned Deka was smarter than Koda as he knew what he was doing. I hate playing the game of assumptions, but yeah. Deka milked the heck out of this update for so very little in return.
Beside the initial launch, clipping through textures and various disappointment... The new content is good, sure. But it is also very barebone. Lots of recycling with the CGs.
