The Star Wars Holiday Special was better than this Christmas Special...

It has been nine months sponsoring with a value of over $ 8k monthly with no updates, which is basically paying someone who does not work. Well, that's what happens when you leave credit cards in the hands of kids...
After gumdrop´s stunt with this "Christmas special" including the blowing of an incredible lax deadline once again (Yep, he will miss the already rage-inducing late 25.1.) I am rather convinced there is something going on behind the stage we do not see.
Months ago on the thread I already hypothesied about something like this, but then it was half earnest, half in jest. But now I think my gut feeling is vindicated.
Another user some pages ago(sorry don´t know his/her name off the cuff) speculated that gumdrop might be laundering money or so, maybe he is onto something. Because when we ask ourselves how many patreon/kickstarter/etc projects do we know where the Dev gets money thrown his way despite filling nearly a year with nothing but unbelievable, pathetic excuses and still get´s more money than many hardworking devs elsewhere? I know no other project where this happens.
Gumdrop´s success is so totally against the trend that speculations about something in the backroom are justified. I mean it is not only his unbelievable slow workspeed and missed deadlines, he was caught outright lying several times and still get´s tons of money. Anywhere else in the free economy he would have been toast with a ton of court dates pending and here he still is standing when we see that most patreons elsewhere are only a bit more forgiving than normal?

Game hasn't been updated since March 30 2018, so you probably played the same version that's out right now. Try again in a year or so ^^
Definitely not worth playing again if you have played the game the last ~1.5 years.
This is likely accurate. It's probably not likely that his income is dropping, they're just migrating to his website.People are focusing on Patreon pledge count, but he also have a payment system in his website. So his milking business is probably much bigger than what people estimating through patreon numbers. I bet Nestle already contacted him...

Sometimes I think that Gumdrop has registered many accounts and writes praise reviews and comments here on the forum
i filed a complaint with the IRS just waiting to see if he payed theme taxes on all that milking money?

Well I managed it, I have no idea how but I did.
I managed to get an entire play through of the Son without gaining a single point with the mother. Who knows, maybe the Dev really will let you steer this one off the rails he's placed it on and let you go on a different path (sister/cousin/dance girl)

The money laundering theory makes perfect sense, especially if we take into account the significant increase in the number of Patreons during these nine months of project hiatus. There are several games better than Dual Family, and even though they were abandoned by their developers due to lack of sponsors. Anyway, it does not make any sense these numbers from Gumdrop Games at Patreon...

Someone in his public discord asked him about a new release date for Part X, and this was his response.
So, there you go folks. Part X isn't coming anytime soon. We have officially been staring at a progress bar for almost a year now.
