Captain's Log, Day, Gumdrops failure 47

Note to mods: Gimme that sweet sweet TLDR tag baby, do it for the Captain.

Crew have long given up with the Gumdrops Void's ghostly call of promises of 'update sOoOoOoOon', would much rather play cards with the Mods. It's constant whimpering out about the 'update release' date is little more than a fart in the wind at this point. It's irrelevant whatever is said, and no one truly believes the dates given anymore, not even the supposed 'dev' saying it, so why bother?

Little Suzie and the wife have long instead started reading 'War and Peace' together and have told me to take the crew to Dega-buster 5 as we've already been docked here far, far too long.

"First off, I want to spill the beans on animations; nothing too spooky, I promise. The majority of animations I've commissioned from our animator FatCat have been posed. Inversely, the majority of animations have not been rendered; this includes the final two animations yet to be posed." -Gumdrops

Is production reversing backwards or something? What happened to 'Just two animations to go guys!' Jesus Christ, why...Why haven't you listed how many animations have to be rendered? Oh...Oh God...

His words are so unreliable even Gumdrops can't rely on Gumdrops anymore.
The narrative he's told is constantly changing to suit the circumstances that justify the constant missed deadlines.

Why bother keeping with a straight story when you can just move the goal post every time? Implying your update is literally just around the corner? Oh so sorry, looks like you forgot to render NEARLY EVER ANIMATION, Oh boy, that one must have just slipped your mind aye?

Just like taking a right instead of left at albuquerque right?


"When'll it all be done? Before the heat death of the universe, probably. More surely before Christmas. Both those windows are ridiculous, already millennia past previous windows established, however it's simply embarrassing at this point to miss another promised date, to once again let you down." -Gumdrops

Ahhhh got it, leaving it open for your *cough* gullible *cough* 'fans' so you can take it rightttttt up to Christmas without scrutiny. Gotcha.

Always keep the carrot in reach for the rabbits running on the treadmill, genius stuff.

Why suddenly care now about the missed deadlines? You've hardly addressed the issue before, and if production is truly THAT far behind, why did you think this month was possible for release?

Wiley Coyote's plans make more sense than your production and the weird, supposed timescale of this games development.

"Standing by my previous sentiment, I urge you to withhold your pledge if the weekly content leading up to Part X isn't as valuable to you as your support. I'll do my best to provide for those who choose to tag along a little longer, sharing a cutie pie or two if you'll let me." -Gumdrops

You seem to think 'standing by your word' at this point somehow makes it more valid. Your 'word' stands on a house of cards as far as anyone with half a brain is concerned. Even Joshua Lawyer Tree points out how utterly unreliable his word truly is. What more can be said?

No one is supporting you for your weekly content of vague promises and weird angled pin-ups you shovel out.
They are supporting you for the goddamn update you've been promising for the last 2 years.

By the way, do the cutie pies you share all still want to slit their wrists or down a whole bottle of Paracetamol?

So, as many of you know

I was finally and recently kicked from the Gumdrops Discord where I decided after truly bottling this deadline and having some newbie stumble in asking how the game was going, well, I think I summed it up quite nicely.

"Either Gumdrops is a full-blown scammer or he's an accidental scammer for simply allowing this money sink hole to exist for so long and profit from it with so little to show and blatant mismanagement/abuse of Patron trust.

Don't worry though, in my absence the Discord made sure to re-affirm their loyalty to their benevolent leader.
By the way, if you ever wanted to see that the Sunk Fallacy Cost was well and truly alive, here's some empirical evidence for you.

Side note: I like how Abby's changed her name to 'Kommandant' after my little jibe, really warms my heart knowing I left her gritting her teeth in rage.

Imagine being able to play Gumdrops off like he's some lovable rogue as he swindles you of your cash.

I find it funny how Gumdrops use to get very defensive when I claimed a 'cult like mentality' was developing among his followers.

Well...Kinda hard to argue when it's so glaring in your face isn't it?

"Always believe in Gumdrops, for he is the light and truth, trust in Abby, for she speaks for the Great Prophet. Do not question the Gumdrops, he is above that, have faith, HAVE FAITH, HAVE UNQUESTIONING UNWAVERING FAITH!" -The Gumdrops Discord Creed


You just know that's how they like it...Unquestioning, totally content.
At best only offering the mildest complaints like "Oh damn haha! I totally know how rough the wait is, like, y'know?" like brands desperately trying to relate to their audience but so very painfully out of touch and borderline condescending. Underplaying any serious and legit complaints.

And that's it really.
Will this sad and sordid tale ever have an end?
Probably not, and even if it does, it's not gonna be worth it.
Someone send Jim Sterling the documents on this stuff, it'd make a fine 'jimquisition' episode.

I thought I'd at least wait until this mystical update finally arrived before I wrote my review,
but why bother? I'm not even sure it'll ever arrive and really, does he deserve anymore polite cutesy waits before I cast judgement?

Not really,
this is your Captain,
delivering more content that Gumdrops ever could.

Great Log Captain.

OMG! Cuntdrip truly is a fucking cult leader isn't he. He's got a band of mindless nut worshippers shamelessly suckling and dangling from his fucking scrotum by their mouths. I actually feel like I'd rather bitch slap the fuck out his flock of sheep rather than bitch slap the lying cunt himself. I don't think there is anything that pisses me off more than willful stupidity.

And yet, when there is new posts on his patreon, several here start ask "oh please flock of sheeps, share with us"... guess they want to do some "suckling" too then? -)

You could probably solve a lot of problems in the world, doing genocide on "stupid", but that would only work until you do something stupid yourself right? Also should include all the silly people bleeding their wallets over f2p games. Yeah those Fortnite players should go too. How about idiots buying new cell phones as soon as a new model is out. Or how about those assholes driving slow in fast lanes. Or how about all those that vote for... Yeah lets not go there.

GD is a nobody, a small fry. If you really want to set up some stakes and place some heads, why not try Randy Pitchford, Tim Sweeney, Robert Kotick, and the list goes on. And we should burn all the sheep's that enabled them through the years to be what they are today too right? Oh your library of games contain products by these? Oh dear...

Start hate people for spending on something you don't agree with never solves anything. If you want to deal with that you need to deal with the reason why they are spending. Which you wont by spewing hate in this thread.

I think people want to see the patron posts to get a laugh.

This is obviously a scam or at the very least they purposely drag out progress as long as possible to milk some money; there is no way in hell it takes this long to do an update to a game. Animations? Renders? If it takes this long to do some renders and animations, those renders and animations better pop out of the computer screen and masturbate the players themselves.

Why do you always feel the need to defend this guy even with the smallest things? You're like an anti-virus that pops up every time I download something but in your case you pop up every time someone says anything about this dev.

Why would anyone complain about Randy Pitchford or Tim Sweeney on a thread dedicated only to Dual Family?

Point out in the post you did quote, where I actually defend GD, quotations is fine.. Also, you might want to look up the word context. And if that fails, I might have a big crayon for you to connect the dots with.

He's a weird guy that gets off on looking for arguments so that he can try to feel like he's superior to others by pointing out what he thinks is hypocritical or by pointing out why an argument is flawed. He's that person that's all like "X sucks but the people complaining about X are no better". He's like that person who doesn't take a side on politics and acts like he's better than both sides because he thinks both sides suck. Only instead of doing that over politics or something meaningful he instead does it over hundreds and hundreds of posts in a thread for an incest porn game on a porn game piracy forum.

Congratulations, you made your 400th something post in an incest porn game thread calling out why someones argument that is written in broken English is flawed. Wow, you made another post pointing out how what something someone said when they're just venting doesn't make a complete sense.

He suffers from some sort of mental illness.

You're defending him by shifting the blame to other game devs who have nothing to do with this thread instead of GD. When someone says something bad about GD you always say what about this guy and what about that guy.

No, the post was about pointing out, people have the freedom to do stupid shit, like support, and spend on whoever and whatever they want. And no matter how much hate you spew on people for doing it, you can't change any without deal with the reason WHY they are spending, supporting, voting on and so on. I bet even you have spent money on or supported stuff I would find stupid as fuck, and it's still alright, because its your right to do so without people breath down your neck and tell you are "so and so" for doing it.

There's a difference between spending your money on stupid shit and being a victim to a scam artist. If I was a victim to a scam artist and someone pointed out to me I'm being scammed out of my money I'd probably thank that person instead of complaining about them breathing down my neck. On the other hand you're breathing down on everyone's neck for pointing out GD's scummy behavior and the blind faith of his supporters. I have one last question. Do you do this for free or GD pays you for all your hard work on his behalf?

Normal People: You're a fucking idiot, why are you giving money to Bernie Madolph? That's a ponzi scheme.
