Is it easier for him to scam them there?
Seems to be so, but then again we do not know how many migrate over and how many patrons are finally fed up with gumdrop´s self-entitlement and milking. As seen in several thread posts some patrons are just still in for the new prequel and part x, but there are dark clouds over their homes due to them fuming over the shamelessness of this disgrace of a developer.

I mean according to his site it has actually been posted there or sent to whoever so if anyone whos got it, even though its only a Christmas version would like to post it I'd be curious to see if we get anything more than ankle, anything even close to 'porn' will be a miracle.
It is a real shame kyle milks people who give him his living cos the game is really well made (minus the lengthy pointless scenes that add nothing) and I love milfy city but the graphics in this are probably the best I've seen.

Makes me laugh that this what what he put for his 3k goal on patreon:
'Full-time investment into development is truly a pivotal point for this project. As of now, I've been dividing the month between my work and development, giving me blurry comprehension in when I can exactly complete an installment. If this becomes my work, crystal clarity along with faster delivery will be achievable.'

Imagine how long each update would take if he dropped below that...(probably a lot quicker cos he'd have some motivation)

I think the patrons are really hoping out for the next real update to be like the best thing ever, because I mean if you have pledged 60 dollars, you expect a full game, but Patreon is donation in the end of the day, but nobody probably has ever done this, Take 1 whole year to release the next version of their release. I mean no way he can expect to satisfy anybody with the release, no matter the update. I dont think anybody will be saying it was worth the 1 year wait.

I do not wish any bad things to Gum, he is a good creator (renders), but honestly... How many other creators finished their games, and some of them are really amazing (Acting lessons, Depraved awakening) and that make me feel bad for them, who makes their updates, even with delay sometimes, but they are far... VERY far to have 8k/month... Injustice. And i really hate that.
No respect for his patreons (that why i left 9 month ago)...
I know we are blaming someone who we don't even help by any money right now... But damn, seeing his patreons being milked it's... Blah.

"This is a standalone release and not part of the main game."
I can not speak for others. But it seems to me alone that people are obviously not waiting for this? The main project for example?

Ok, have anyone of you considered the possibility of money laundering through patreon games guys?

What if this guy found a way to do such a thing? I mean, cmon, thousands dollars per month for a game ? let alone an almost abandoned one?

It is either this or his patreons are dellusional.

He barely moves ahead with the main project and still finds time for the Christmas episode?! Gum, what's wrong with you?
Seriously business

I think this the evidence... he's a milker indeed ... the work is not so difficult as we are "truly" hoping... but again: this is something intersting -> what kind of work "Kyle" is making? Bitcoins?

Funny business:

Civil wars?
Guerilla?
Oil?
Gold?
Find Gavin?
Charles Lee?


No! Help his grandfather: Dutch Van Der Linde! Yeah...

I have one more question
8k monthly +++ His page = 20 K: D now I just saw it. That's the point. :)
Do not forget about gumdropgames.net and it also gets $$$ so yes $ 20,000 milking is likely. :)

Unless they release the complete game in the next update, there is no excuse for it taking a year to release an update while still charging patreons. You want to take extended time off great get some rest, but pause/suspend your patreon donations until you decide to do what they are paying you to do.

I know you guys hate hate the Dev, but I'll jump to his defense a little bit, I enjoyed the Christmas special he just put out and I really liked Dual family, so if hes taking as much time as possible to release a good product then let him do it.

I'm not as sure as all of you are that hes trying to milf his Paetrons dry, take a long time to finish their games and they never disappoint, so I'll give him the same pass since I'm not paying for this game and he has released good content in the past. So I'm quite excited for the 26th.

And this right here is the main, very festering issue with adult games.
Once people find something even remotely appealing to them, regardless of how complete shit the game turns out to be in the end, they will STILL keep donating when other newer and vastly more talented Devs, are stuck with like 50-100 patreons for ages on end while lazy shit like this makes $20k a month for what is basically "i'll release an update when I feel like it".
It's honestly infuriating.
