I'm still following this thread and I wonder. It's been a year and over 3500 posts in this thread since Gumdrop restarted work on his game. I recall he released the first update after the hiatus sometime in April and the first of the current series of updates started on 4th of July. I may be misremembering things, but I'm not going to go back to those posts to verify.
Since over a year passed, all his "generous" free subscription offers for paying patrons have by now expired (he handed out subscriptions ranging from one month to one year of free updates depending on how long somebody was his paying supporter, I think they started sometime between May and July).

, he lost a good number of paying patrons (though looking at the graph, there is a very slight sign of a rebound, so it's hard to tell whether this is his current die hard fanbase or if there will be an increase in the coming months), so it's a given that not much has changed over the last year and he's still scamming people.
What I'm actually interested in is how much progress did Gumdrop make over the last year? I didn't download any of them, and I'm definitely not about to compare them myself, but there must be somebody who did and could report. I don't mean the side shows, but the actual game
Just so nobody accuses me of being Gumdrop's shill: I'm not suggesting that his effort is worth the money spent on this train wreck. If he had earnestly restarted work on the game for his paying supporters, he would have completed Act I and started working on an actual Act II, and not ran the stupid side show "games". I'm simply interested in how much (or how little) was done in the last year.
