Did he says something on Discord ?
Patreon debits the 1st of the month? He is probably waiting to announce bad news so as not to lose too many patrons.

A good bet those not happy about him releasing any the 25th, with no words/news will remove their sub before any renewal the 1st. With his decline of Patreons from his all time high until what he got now, I'm not so sure he does care all that much about of patreon numbers. If he did he would been likely to work harder to grow/maintain the numbers.

Can we just stop trying to convince Joshua Tree that this is a serious game and move on? It feels like he has a purpose to defend the game and its creator like no one else here.

I had an argument with some people in the Second Happiness thread and even with Vnorth over an year ago and now I am right. He had at that time 1,2k earnings and now he's at 900. Good game but shit developer. But he delivers every month. And even if it's a shit game in my opinion he deserves more money compared to this crook who did nothing for over a year now.

This time it's bad game shittier developer. Period. Even if the end product will be decent it will NEVER rise up to 100k+ that he milked from patreons.

The dev from Teacher's Pets is MIA for more than a year and he still has patreons because they forgot about it. Maybe they will be paying for 2 3 years for nothing. Is that right? The same is happening here.

I haven't payed a dime and will never pay anything to this crook. But I can express my opinion and I will everywhere that I can about a fraud that is happening so that other people don't fall to it.

guys you want to know whats funny you can always stop coming to the thread writing comments on the actual true about this developer there are tons of different games to be played sure i visiting this thread when im hungry for some drama but seriously

stop repeating what everyone knows its really getting old and doesnt do any good

the game is complete shit everyone knows this

play something else the visit becoming a rockstar Reincarnotica or vis all better games made within the last 6 months

the characters are shitty and have serious mental problems and give you depression literately based on the models never smiling and never seem to have a good time

acting lessons give you depression through story telling and characters you care about

the mom was the only reason i played this game but she was made to be put in a void of no progress

tons of better moms have been made since this game was created

You know this post was fine until you came out with this bit, and it's the 3rd line too, why do you go from telling people to stop repeating what others have said, and then proceed to also say what others are saying? You can't have it both ways.

I looked in his discord, his fans do not perceive critics and it seems to me in every way justify him (lick his ass - JOKE)
Their main arguments are: "You have no evidence that he is deceiving us" (This is reasonable, but no one forbids assuming the opposite)
"His third release failure may be related to his personal problems." (Ookaay?)
"He cannot tell about his problems because he is not like everyone else" (Are you f****ng serious?)
"We decide to pay him or not, and we want to support him because we believe in him" (Logical, but it sounds weird)
Why didn't he stop fundraising like other developers in similar situations? - "No answer"
This is my personal opinion, but it seems to me that his fans behave like religious fanatics... :confused: But it’s their choice, to be honest, I don’t care if the update comes out or not. I just like to watch this situation :D

I wonder if these are people that spent so much money on this pledge already that they can't back out now. They are too far gone.

Intersting... That GD is using this money for anothers things... But... Like he's not want to Share wat he's doing... Is clear to me that he's doing something for a great number of people but is not something etic or moral, right... what he's doing must be even illegal.

You have to explain what you mean with "use this money for other things". Shouldn't creators on Patreon use the money they get as them selves see fit?

Setting dead lines, break his word and so forth is not morally right. But not illegal. The only thing a creator get that by repeatedly break his/her word is a bad reputation, which in turn will reflect on their support and decline of.

My poll got deleted from the Discord, Lol.
139 votes though :p
Wonder how many of those 139 ever did support him by be a patreon of his and felt cheated due to it though. Ratio of upset patreons vs ratio of just "pissed off". That poll being removed from his discord not really a surprise. I think the likes of Electronic Arts, Activision etc would removed one of similar nature if posted on their forums :p

Yeah even I have to admit. There's no evidence to suggest what Gumdrops has done is 'illegal.'
You can say he's morally bankrupt, or extremely in over his head, but I don't think he's committed fraud or anything like that.
It's one thing to be a slimy and/or incompetent dev, it's another to be an outright criminal.

wait you made a comment on his discord i only use discord for places i care to be a part off theres no way in hell ill join gumdrops discord not after he put the mom in a void of no progress this game will be abandoned before the actual penetration scene i bet my whole life on it
This noble Captain has to outreach to the darkest places to get his juicy info as quickly as possible!

That discord is a dark place indeed, only a place where sycophants and the most obsessive of fan boys could possibly survive for more than a matter of minutes.

One or two really do seem to lose their shit the second anyone dares question their lord and saviour
