No Joshua Tree... we want that previews.... at least something till FatCat17 finish this goddamnit animations.
Well, seeing this thread now, it feels like a box of rabbits with someone dangling a carrot over.

Maybe he feed his patreons some carrots, idk.. No idea if any patreons of his left in this thread, or if there is any willing to share anything, seeing a good part of this thread is used to tell how stupid they are..

Gummy has taken it to whole new level. A "CON" tag would suit this thread best.
This con artist will be at the forefront of the lawsuit that shuts patreon down. 9k a month and nothing done in almost 18 months.

I would like to see you spearhead that lawsuit. You should contact a lawyer asap. Let us know what he/she advice/tell you.
If you want to do something, or get something done. Never leave it to others if you serious about it right?
Before that though I would advice you to read through the legal policies of Patreon first. Also it seems all legal disputes with Patreon will be resolved in San Francisco under California law.

Also, some of those money must have been spent on good use by the gov right? It's taxable income after all :p
"Patreon does collect tax identification information and report this to tax authorities".

Here I am thinking "all the money gumdrop milked out of fools for doing nothing but making fake promises could have been used to support devs who actually deliver their games". It´s just sad how a scumbag like kyle make a small fortune for doing nothing while other devs, who produce great games. struggle to earn more than 100-200$. I really hope his patrons wake up and realize that kyle is lying to them. Even if he delivers an update it will never be good enough to justify such a ridiculous delay.

I think it's especially important to ask if it's real people who subscribe, because I think that any boss who hasn't updated in over a year loses people, but he doesn't, he just has more people :ROFLMAO:

KsT's THE TWIST game is at its 34th update while he earns much less money than him

And yet, no one of those that brought up this and similar had any facts or evidence, which you will not find in this thread. If you that interested, you can always contact patreon right? They even got a part in their terms that cover illegal activities.

Or, even make a plausible theory how it would be possible with the payment options Patreon got.

Recent bump GD had I would put down to him put the game on Steam. However, I highly doubt it would ever get released there, but to garner interest and get people to his patreon, now that is something else.

i do think looking at his discord that even the staunchest of his vocal support over there are starting to turn now, think the ultimate test will be when and if he announces a new release date, if its more than a couple of weeks then i think people will have more than enough evidence that he is taking the piss....... (if they really needed more)

As for the constant argument of illegal activities, nothing can be proved as we can't see the actual breakdown of his patreons and their payments nor will we ever, so no matter how much his revenue levels defy all logic, there is no point even bringing it up unless you are wanting a personalised prove it post.......

He responded now because he feeling the heat! His patrons are losing patience now and think he isn't transparent on what's going on.

Finally! I don´t know how many pages back I wrote that even the nice and patient ones have a breaking point and that gumdrop has tio be careful, because once you annoyed the patient persons, that backlash is not good and regaining lost trust is very difficult.
The real patrons of gumdrop had already been extremly patient in the face of constant lies, broken promises and deadlines. He has used up the goodwill.
I think he got too cocky about how often you can sugercoat blatant lies and idiotic excuses. And his last one is among the most idiotic. A broken deadline (after he strained goodwill to the max with his earlier ones) because of two "missing/incomplete" animations? Send out the update and patch it later, would have been the correct action. With this he would have regained a bit of trust after all the lies and stuff. But now? A bridge, eh a lie too far, it seems.
