I think Gumdrops biggest problem is his lack of transparency with his supporters, and fans. The progress bar is the biggest piece of evidence we have on his shady practices, and dishonesty. That bar is supposed to represent good will between the developer, and his supporters by letting them know “hey, I’m hard at work, and this is how far I got to go before you can enjoy the next update”. When he decided to re-render a scene that set him back 30 hours, why didn't he adjust the progress bar? He tries to paint himself as this sympathetic developer by saying things like "I'm sorry guys, I won't post a release date anymore, because I don't want to disappoint any of you when I miss the deadline :(((((".

The last Patreon update was on March 13th, and other than little sprinkles of information.... Nothing.

I was joking when I said earlier in the thread that the 30 hours he lost were equivalent to 2 weeks in Gumdrop time, but it turns out I was right! Here we are close to 2 weeks after the "final stretch" update, and.... Nothing.

I swear to god they're gonna have to ban me from this thread after the game is released, because if this coming update fucking SUCKS, I'm gonna lose my mind.

its funny to see bunch off ppl complaining about delays to a game that they don't even pay
since mostly the comments are filled with freeloaders...take a chill pill and wait, u are guys
are like beggars shouting ''I want a free pussy and i want it now!!!''.
Check DarkCookie for example he has 3+ times the numbers from this developer but if any1 talks about why so much delay
everyone is ready to shoot you in the head...
I'm a $20 patron to Gumdrop and I pretty much stopped coming here, for the most part, because it's just a bunch of people constantly bitching about him and pop in time to time to see the salt.
It's actually funny seeing how mad these guys actually get at the game.
There's a saying "You can tell a lot about a man by what makes him angry"

"I give GumDrop my money, so all negativity and critism is illegitimate to me."

Every. Time.

They should make a new porn genre, like "patrons getting milked" in the tags, since they seem so eager and happy to be milked.

Good for you.
I used to pledge $30 for 4 months, then i lowered it to $10 for 2 months because of his ability to miss every deadline and even better ability to come up with the lamest excuses.
After that i canceled it because he keeps getting worse, and worse.

Every release it's the same crap..
-I can not make the deadline because i was (input random excuse).
-But it will be very soon(Almost never).
-And i am really really sorry about this all and i will try to make it up to all your pledgers.

I'f you are a relative new Pledge to him, i can understand your dedication.... And you have my respect.
But if you are longer then 6 months a pledge for him, i have to ask.... Why ? ..

I'm not saying that we pledgers have to know everything that going on with a creation of a game, i'm not saying that we pledgers have right to everything.
But i'f a creator lies to my face every freaking month, keeps taking the money off all those people who still believe in the game but keeps using them..... Well i'm sorry, but at that point it's done for a lot of people(including me).

And missing a deadline can always happen sometimes, we all make mistakes and learn from it... And thing can happen that we have 0% influence over.
And let's say that every excuse he made for the past year is legitimate, he has the worst luck in humanity and everything goes wrong.
A "normal" person would not give deadlines after missing them once or twice, so he has more room to anticipate for mistakes.
A "normal" person would be very careful with promises about a release or content after missing in once or twice or ignoring such content at all..... So he has more room to do thing right without getting the crowd angry.

All those things say to me that he is fully aware of what he is doing, and that the reason that he is creating is not to make a good game for the people to enjoy.... No he is making something to make a lot of money of in the quickest way possible.
And who can blame him.... because there will always be people like you who keep giving him money :) .
(And before anyone says that i'm a pirate and i can not speak, i'm paying over 450 bucks every month at this point at patreon ;) ).

But at this point it's the quick money buisness model..
Make a very good 0.1 demo, follow it up with descent 0.2 and 0.3 so you can get a following...
And you're done..

But again...I respect you for sticking up for a creator... Only mistake is that this creator does not deserve people who are that loyal to him :)

Yeah I've decided I'll stop even remotely defending him at this point. He said 3 to 5 days for writing coding, 5 days being the more likely according to him. Even taking in to account the 3 extra days redoing renders for one of the sons scenes and then the bug testing afterwards, the update should be out by now. But here we sit 11 days since the last Patreon update with no clear idea when this thing will drop. Will his next Patreon post "in a day or two" be the "halfway point" in the coding/writing process that he told us he would give us? Will he surprise us and say there's only the bug testing and uploading to do? Honestly what was the point of the "Render Mortis" update post as almost every bit of information in it has proven useless with regards to gauging when the next update will release...which was the point of the post I mite add.

At this point I'm expecting the update to drop on March 31st at 11:59pm in what ever timezone Gumdrop is based. I guess it means he'll technically be true to his word...

Let me tell you again. YOU DON'T PAY FOR THE GAME. YOU PAY TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPER, IT BASICALLY A DONATION. And also this game is free Gumdrop clearly states that. So don't think your some supreme hyper beast boy because you donate money to him.

honesty i thought this game was going to be the next dreams and desire before he decided to revamp the art around 4 or 5 updates in then came the delayed releases and i knew this guy was going to be the next wootch

At this point it's pretty obvious he's going to wait until April to release the new version. He'll probably post an update this week about how "he's really close to being done" and then wait for April's Patreon payments.

That's pretty much what he's done with every update.
I respect you for admitting to being one of the fools who enables this hack fraud.

This thread is one of the most active ones I follow even though the developer is the least active (updates, previews, communication, etc.). Still worth reading for all the posts filled with rage and confusion about why he's lied about a release date or gone dark for another month.

Never gave him any money. I'd never give any money to someone who misses his own deadline for his game's first update and then stays silent for like a week before releasing it. That's just not a good sign.

And it's not like he improved with the following updates...

It was a response to someone saying that we should drop this game and support 'Love and Submission' instead, I was agreeing to his assessment of 'Love and Submission.' Gumdrop is a nightmare developer.
then i take back what i said i totally agree with you :D
