the art looks great, Id imagine the game will never be completed to this point. We gotta snuggle and cuddle and steal glances for the next few years first.

A Captain's Log appreciation society.
There's a small to large chance that the past year has seen little to no progress and the Christmas update was just a way of keeping patrons with no real intention of progressing in the development of the game.

Again my main issue here is that while Gumdrop may say things like "I fully support one rescinding their pledge", he then releases a delayed Christmas side-story, in which he felt it was the best time to tell patrons he wouldn't be hitting the January 25th deadline... just after the new year begins. Of course his patrons would have already paid their January fee by that point so not really giving his patrons a chance to cancel their pledges. So his patrons probably think "Well there's not much point cancelling now is there, as surely it'll be out in February"... Nope, Gumdrop gave no guarantees that will be the case. You could again say he was deliberately vague. Who wants to bet that we'll stumble into February without any concrete info, thus his patrons pay again for Pinups and rambling Dev updates, then he'll release Part X on March 2nd.

Considering indie games cost an average around $5-$10 and Japanese VN cost around $20 or so which is a completed version,so one time pay and I completed those game spending like 4-6 hours or so .this dev askes for $20 each month and I've seen people giving him for months....so I guess his fanboys/Fangirls are expecting this game to be like 50+ hours,pffftt, may be 100+ hours ,bahahaha....

Patrons aren't buying the game. They're supporting the artist. This is long rooted in history.

And our heroic captain is back again to accompany us in the hopeless neverending journey. Welcome back!
I came almost by accident only to find out that he missed that joke of a release date. Half Life 3 will be released before this "update"..

As expected. And worst part, on his discord, everyone has this defeated mentality, there is no point in complaining so they don't complain. They just keep paying in return for nothing.
I wish I was a gamedev and that I had such a fanbase.

In case you guys haven't been up to date, @monroe has released the 2018 Christmas special found
If your gut tells you this is a terrible investment, trust it no matter how tempting. No matter how tempting.
To those who are unaware, Christmas Special is also the reason why Chapter 10 won't be released on the 25th of this January. It'll be either released on the last weeks of February or March, perhaps there will be another excuse that delays it further to June. Expect this 1 chapter release/per year trend to continue. Per. Year.
Sigh...

. To ex-patrons and future patrons, may I remind you that this is the Bargaining phase I was talking about earlier. A scheme to hook your interest and reel you back to false promises. There's seriously nothing good to spoil and its premise of an earlier "happier" family moments are virtually non-existent.If your gut tells you this is a terrible investment, trust it no matter how tempting.
