Its one thing to want this game to come out... I'm with you, I too was a fan of it 3 years ago. I'd love to see the sequel. But to give him money without results is just.... incomprehensible. It's like a battered woman going back to her husband on promises he'll never do it again.

I read a recent review that mentioned that this dev's patreon is still getting money - Now that I am looking at it, I can see why. This dev is legit making posts saying "coming soon - Act X"(.. etc etc,) since June.. I didn't scroll down more than that, but I wonder if there's a chance that there will be an update coming out or not.. Or maybe someone steals his laptop, that conveniently had his new version on it, and he didn't have a back up.. ;)

Will still say that the models are still hot imho, there simply aren't enough older looking mother games (There are some, but a lot of them are abandoned or really slow with updates).

This used to be a game but was abandoned in 2018. Then it was taken over by someone (very likely not all the people who used to make the game, hence why he has to rely on commissions to keep the scam marketing going), and turned into a total scam. There is nothing here now, the abandoned tag is correct.

I described how this scam operates almost a year ago:
https://f95zone.to/threads/dual-family-v0-98-ce-gumdrop-games.1870/page-467#post-2398851

Those who claimed that it wasn't, or that he was just "milking" (that would imply he had done ANY work at all during the past 2.5 years, but as I describe there that's false) were proven wrong. Today, more people here agree with me. But the evidence was clear even back then. Don't know why people keep having such expectations when carefully looking at the evidence reveals the nature of the scam: there is nothing at all, this is literally just one dude posting a recycled "preview" or shitty trivial render every few weeks with SOON plastered on it (a lunch break worth of time per month turned into thousands by scamming naive people). Then you add the massive number of lies he has spouted (literally claiming he had 25 GPUs), and it just becomes ludicrous. Wish someone made a list of all his lies, there is so much material there.

I repeat, as I have done for the past year: there is nothing being done, it really is fully abandoned (the tag isn't trying to fool you). A careful examination of his own "previews" reveals the farce.

Like you, I was a fan years ago and even made a fanart (maybe I do some more if I have time)and I agree with you that gumdrop´s patrons exhibit the signs of abused crawling back to their abuser. But in a certain way it is impressive that a menschliches Senkloch like gumdrop is able to delay fracking announcements without repercussions at the patron front! Other Devs get flak when they (repeatedly) delay an update, Condrop can delay simple messages without effect. He has broken any promise, any deadline, piled delay on delay for over 2 years and nothing happens. This scammer treats his patrons like dirt and retards and nothing happens.
Other Devs, with far better behaviour, regular updates and stuff have to fight hard to keep their patrons. "Birddrop" instead with abyssal behaviour, a proven liar and scammer keeps patrons on mindbogingly level. No wonder rumours pop up, something so against the stream stinks to high heaven.

Don't think you needed to repeat all that, my post wasn't made to drum up hype of any kind, but rather gave a bit more information to people like myself - who couldn't understand how he still had patrons after 3 years of no updates. Naivety combined with "coming soon" that's ongoing even now.

You'd think that 3 years later he would've come out clean and just packed up his stuff, but I guess the renders on his patron side must be really good if it's worth the commitment (as the game won't be coming out most likely).

P.S: If a new version gets uploaded, then the abandoned tag will be removed, even if he was a lying sack of s*it.
