His posts are mostly gibberish and also to set-up his next excuses. People here have consistently predicted his future excuses based on these posts. Like scammers and manipulative people usually do, he is never honest upfront, he waits a few months before giving the excuse, setting it up with previous posts. Browse older pages here to see examples. His current excuse is that he is looking for an animator after the previous one had to do military service. He has been commissioning some animations for almost a year (they are taking over a year to do now, how crazy is that?) to give himself a new excuse for not doing any work: https://f95zone.to/threads/dual-family-v0-98-ce-gumdrop-games.1870/post-2958018 . To sustain the scam he is using a tiny fraction of the money he took from the people he scammed to keep fooling them.
A few months ago, he claimed to be working on some "open world" act 2 (as usual, no evidence is ever shown). At the same time, he is unable to show any evidence of the last part of act 1, which he claimed to be working on for 2 years (he literally claims to have 3k images rendered sitting there, yet somehow he can't show any evidence). Currently he is using the animator as an excuse to keep the scam going. Next excuse will surely be the "complexity" and "bugs" of the "open world". In reality, he has done nothing for the last 2 years and is currently doing nothing, they are just more embarrassing lies by a chronic liar, don't even bother with them.
Nope. Take a look at the "All" chart. His highest earnings were $10,835 with 1,039 patron, and that was less than a year ago. His highest patron count was 1,073 in March 2018. He's not that far off the maximum.

To see 1 picture for $ 20 or read how bad things are going with the developer.
Have not heard of that site before, but assuming all the numbers are correct, that's a very interesting graph. Most of it makes sense in a frustrating way but one thing strikes me as odd: There is a 30% increase in his number of patreons between the first week of May '19 and 3rd week of September '19. There are two reasons I'm curious about this increase: 1) This is over a year after the last game update so I fail to see what is causing renewed interest in the game (to be fair I have not looked through his patreon posts so it's possible he was particularly convincing during this period). 2) The period of increase follows a 8.5 month period of consistent decrease during which he lost 40% of his patreons.
I'm no expert on statistics, But the only reasonable explanation to me is that it's some kind of money laundering operation.
No, if that were the case he would show evidence of it and marketing material would feature all the new assets all the time. He has done no work at all since he abandoned the project. His income has dropped around 15% since abandonment, with the scammer not only not releasing anything but also not showing any evidence of work FOR 2 YEARS. What you are assuming makes no sense at all. No rational "milker" would behave like this. This is not "milking", it's a scam: https://f95zone.to/threads/dual-family-v0-98-ce-gumdrop-games.1870/page-467#post-2398851
You seem to be very angry. No need for that, I was only being sarcastic, a lot of people in this thread are.
Doesn't matter whether he's a scammer or a milker and contributing doesn't affect the end result. If he's a scammer and patronage dwindles down, he doesn't care, he moved on with his life. If he's a milker, he would have released something by now just to quiet down the critics.
