can we just all agree on one thing at this point, Gumdrop is a complete and utter scamming dickweazel! the apathy on his discord doesn't help matters, oh the wait will be worth it, dont pm him, don't complain, hes working hard! FFS..... suppose he is their lord and saviour after all... morons
I wouldn't be as naive as to think those are all real people unaware of the scam. Considering he is getting almost 100k a year for doing nothing, getting shills on your side would be extremely easy, especially since the scam's entire existence relies on lying to and defrauding naive people. Shills seem like the very first thing a scammer would get after getting funds. See what US companies do all the time on social media: hire shills to promote their products while pretending to be random people (microsoft and monsanto are notorious examples, and even the US government uses them to promote its wars and coups). I don't understand why people in 2019 keep believing that those anonymous randoms you meet online virulently defending a product couldn't possibly be shills.

Several other members and I predicted many months ago that gumdrop would use Fatcat as a scapegoat "in the future" back then already, when an "outside animator" was first introduced by our "favourite" scammer. I am not sure Fatcat, which seems to be rather young, is aware that he is used as a scapgoat and manure dumped on him by an a.. of developer.
Could someone from our Scandinavian members inform him that he is used as a scapegoat by the human equivalent of a leech?

Why do you need a Scandinavian to do that? It's not hard to contact him if you want to do so. As for his age, I dunno, could be 18-20+ depending if he had extension due to school whatever before entering army service.

Someone...Anyone...Please, show me the Discord reaction, I need to know if they went full sheep mode or if they tried to question the great wise Kommodant Abby and their lord Savior Gumdrops.
there is absolutely no reaction pretty much.... one little comment about "dang Fatcat" from Abby, that anarchistidiot going on about people are idiots for having no faith in gum drop and he deserves more trust...... this guy truly is a few sandwiches short of a picnic..... then the usual people complaining about people complaining. No negative comment about gumdrop from the regulars at all, shocking i know

No, he won't release anything even then because he is doing no work. Stop promoting this ridiculous idea that he is doing work but only withholding it because he is getting paid, he isn't. This is a scam, this isn't a game anymore but a scheme to abuse Patreon's complete disregard for anything resembling minimum standards. The evidence is clear, see: https://f95zone.to/threads/dual-family-v0-98-ce-gumdrop-games.1870/post-2398851 .

That he couldn't even learn to animate stuff after 2 years should have given you a clue that he is not really working on this at all. He moved on with his life but continues to use this scam to get side cash. It bothers me why so many skeptical people here seem to be in denial about the most likely explanation, that this has been discontinued and is exclusively used to scam people, which is backed by all the available evidence.

His assets look extremely dated, plenty of other games have superior rendering and story nowadays. We aren't in 2017 anymore. I would bet that the scammer knows that, and that's why he won't ever be foolish enough to go back to focusing on that bizarre, completely disjointed excuse for a porn game he did in 2017 with some cheap DAZ assets.
No. He is not doing. The game is ready already. He just will not realese it until people is paying for nothing

why would he release in that case since his patrons aren't withdrawing their funding?

If the game was ready he would make more money by releasing the part.
And then stretching the game out like most other developers do.

A lot of people must have withdrawn their support due to his shenanigans. I know he is making enough as it is.
But he would make more if he was trustworthy.

All evidence points to him most likely being a scammer. With the added possibility that he is also lazy.

I feel sorry for the 902 patrons who are paying $8,937 dollars a month for nothing. I wish I could charge people for nothing and make that amount of money instead of working hard to pay the bills but I am just a honest working man.

Christmas, Part X Consensus!










Bearer of good and bad news.

The bad news is that animations won't be ready for Christmas. FatCat currently has three other animations (non Dual Family) he's rushing to finish within the same time frame, however insists ours will be finished up by early January. We'll continue to follow up and make certain that is the case.



That said, the good news happens to be about Part X too. Along with the other presents under the tree, we'll be sharing video gameplay of Part X on Christmas, including a full look at one of the animations. I in particular have always been an over-protective mom about spoiling too much, however I think there's a balance to be found for the holiday that scratches an itch without giving away the twists and turns of the story.



There are some of you who insist on waiting until you're the one playing, piloting the story and I fully understand that sentiment. I'll make sure the rest of the gifts this year can ease the yearning, sharing some genuinely good news about Part X (for once) come the new year. That news will be the only kind that matters to you unequivocally: its download, its release.

Final thing! Previews for Act II next week, likely after Christmas has sang its song. Please check it out if you find time between work, life, hopefully celebration.

Best,

Kyle,

Why? so he start doing nextx part again?
I don't know where he is from, but $ 9,000 is a lot of money even in rich countries. And he makes $ 9,000 doing nothing
He will release the game when the amount of money falls to a minimum. And once again will be fed with promises

Dude, it's December 23rd. Fatcat is going to join the army on the 6th of January. That means 2 weeks, with Xmas vacations and new year's eve in between. Based on what that filthy scammer GD said, FatCat has not even begun working on the animations for this game. And based on what FatCat said on his twitter, he has worked on many animations of late, and he will continue posting the ones he has already finished also after January 6th. He didn't say he will work on new ones though.
So, expect a new, fat, greasy, absurd excuse from the mofo leech for not releasing the game in January (or February, or even March, for what matters). And he will definitely lay the blame on FatCat, who (however) didn't mention the animations for DF in his twitter account, NOT EVEN ONCE. Are we even sure they have an agreement? What if FatCat really is someone else and not Kyle (you can't prove he ISN'T KYLE either, Joshua. He may be Kyle's alter ego. A separate active twitter account doesn't prove the guy's identity for your information. He could be indeed Kyle, working on animations for money, as long as he has a lot of time in his hands and gets 9k a month for doing exactly NOTHING with Dual Family). Anyway, what if FatCat exists and he simply doesn't know shit about all of this? Or if he knows, what if, given his change of vocations, he's just getting money from GD to take the blame and actually not working on anything?

People:

Go to GD page on > Click on the 3-dot button > Report this creator > Mark 'Something in their Patreon profile or rewards' > 'This creator is not being honest' > 'This creator is not creating anymore'

If a lot of people do this, Patreon should do something about it...probably.

I agree he makes alot of money for doing nothing. And seems to have lost motivation to do any work.

If he had finished the work it would be a dangerous game waiting so long. With the risk of upsetting too many patreons.
And as others have shown there is literally no evidence of any real work in last couple years.

He would have at least shown some real previews alot sooner if he was sitting on it ready.

Aff.... merry Christmas everyone... merry Christmas... ... ... ... I think a moment of silence about those who died waiting this game is appropriate... I think (I'm certain) is gonna take a while to see something new about this project. Just release the captain log and I'm done about this.

GOALS

$3,000
– reached! per month

Full-time investment into milking is truly a pivotal point for this project. As of now, I've been dividing the month between my fapping and development of manipulation , giving me blurry comprehension in when I can exactly complete an installment. If this becomes my work, crystal clear betrayal along with slowest delivery possible will be achievable.

Goal Achieved! :poop:

But he occasionally releases pinup packs, he might not be creating things in large quantities like a number of other developers but he's still creating. Don't do this, you're just abusing the report system if you do.

I haven't played this game in such a long time so I don't remember anything about it, but if this isn't patched for incest then just report that this game has banned content. Believe rape is also banned content.
