surely this surprise that is rumored on the 30th is not the update, also because in theory it should not be a surprise since the game was "to be released by October" (after 2 years of disappointments)

for me there may be two hypotheses :

- a useless Halloween special

- the announcement of the umpteenth date, December

(sorry for my bad english)

At least a Halloween special would be content.

He went from $10,000 per month to $6,000 per month. Sure, it's still a lot of money, but it means he loses $4,000 every month because he's not doing anything.
If he was doing something during that time, I figure he'd be up to $15k-$20k, which is a lot of money lying around to simply ignore.

In short, he's not incentivized to do sweet fuck all. If he doesn't want to work on his game, he won't, and there won't be anything new coming anytime soon or ever. If he wanted to work on the game, he'd be finalizing Act III by now.

There's a difference between losing out on more potential money vs having no income at all.

Seems like Gumdrop just learned of Palmer dying. Wonder if he knew him at all.

Wanna bet? 90 percent chance Gumdrop misuses Palmer´s passing as an excuse on Friday. He is the type of character to take advantage of the sorrow of others. Why else would he bring up Palmer´s death? Gumdrop never commented much on other games or devs before, but he practically used everything he commented on over time as an excuse later on.

Nothing is likely. It's the guy who has literally zero incentive or reason to put out release dates, and yet he did and broke them every time.

I know that this opinion is pretty unpopular, but:
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's his legal right to sell his game anywhere he sees fit. Patreon is clear that any promises made by the creator are not binding. Steam doesn't offer any protection from dev promises made in bad faith. And on his site he's free to set whatever rules he wants.

I can totally understand somebody who found his game, played it, liked it and paid money to get the latest version. No point discussing anyone's tastes and whether this game is worth the money you're paying for it (5 or 20 bucks depending on the version).

Ignoring Steam and Gumdrop's site for a moment, and focusing on Patreon only, what I cannot understand is how that same new patron, after looking around and finding out that:
• there's no progress for 2.5 years;
• Gumdrop set deadlines, broke them and made excuses every time;
• anyone who pledged money between Part IX and Part X release is going to get Part X without extra charges:
After finding out all of that still decides to support him for more than just one pledge.


If anything, 0.3. The game is supposed to be divided into three Acts, ten Parts each. So if Part X ever gets released, the game then becomes version 0.3333...


Someone did and made stuff that everyone's after, which are scenes of the characters in sexual situations. Oh, and the textures are higher quality, too, so it's better than whatever Gumdrop has to offer.
