Well i think that's no longer an option. You see ever sinse he released this crap people were quite negative about it. Just go to his OP, there's a public post regarding recent release where people are quite angry if not disapointed as well. Some of them all ready canceled their pledge, others will wait Feb 26. I don't think there is anyone who likes this crap at all. If he didn't release this shit he might get away with it. But now his supporters are actually pissed. Release nothing on Feb 26 will surely make people to cancel their support, not all but lets say 30-40% and right now he have around 600 supporters. Release something on Feb 26 and it's bad will lead to same result. In a strange way i would like to thank him for this release crap so ohers and his supporters can see what kinda fraud this dev is.Imagine nothing comes out on the 26th and he delays it for X months. hahahaha. How will his sheeps react? LOL
This. He didn't have to do anything to keep the money pouring in. There are two possibilities: 1) he went batshit insane; 2) he wanted to end this scam and did this to say a final fuck you to his patrons.Gumdrop is either hooked on some serious sh.. drug or has mental issues of the highest order, because I doubt a scammer halfway sane would post such an "update", his intention would be keeping the lambs, eh, patrons sticking to the honeytrap.
3rd option is drugs - bad acid trip or crack cocaine.This. He didn't have to do anything to keep the money pouring in. There are two possibilities: 1) he went batshit insane; 2) he wanted to end this scam and did this to say a final fuck you to his patrons.
If he didn't want to keep going, he could have just switched his Patreon account off. Now, a year ago, two or three years ago, doesn't matter. Just switch it off.
One thing is for certain. Anyone who wants to support him now is even crazier than gumdrop is. But handing out "lifetime" or "year long" subscriptions to high paying patrons is simply rude.
true. I'm think he use drugs to induce hallucinations and get batshit ideas, and when he comes down he can then turns this crazy stuff into a coherently written story - batshit crazy drug induced story but written down when clear.He's way too coherent for drugs. Read his posts, his homepage and so on. He wouldn't do all of that meticulous work on drugs.
I've been "analyzing" this release and the more I go over it, the less I think that gumdrop is insane. In the immortal words of Hamlet, there is too much method to his madness. Since I had nothing better to do today, I went over the game more and wrote up what I found. If you don't really care about the specifics I put a tl;dr at the endBy Wodan´s hat, I am having oxygen issues from continuing laughter! I downloaded this "update" fully knowing that it is a superscam, but I had to see it with my own eyes. What a pile of crap, au, can´t stop laughing, it is so hillarious! Whoever made this, he/she has serious problems and it is not the patrons. Gumdrop is either hooked on some serious sh.. drug or has mental issues of the highest order, because I doubt a scammer halfway sane would post such an "update", his intention would be keeping the lambs, eh, patrons sticking to the honeytrap.
I estimate that there is a truckload of him in the personality of the son, who in DF is a ticking timebomb.

For people wondering whether 600 patrons could be legit after all this, never doubt the human faith and power of living in denial.
Gumdrop could make a great career in politics and a lot more money...
Great analysis - supports the theory it's a multi leveled psychology experiment.I've been "analyzing" this release and the more I go over it, the less I think that gumdrop is insane.

tl;dr: This is not only a troll, but it's a very elaborate troll. DFX doesn't seem to be something haphazardly thrown together, it appears to have been made pretty intentionally and methodically. My guess as to why Gumdrop did this is not only for his own kicks but probably because he wants to test if the idiots giving him money will continue to do so after this absolutely ridiculous release. Scamming people is a shitty thing to do, but you can't help but admire him in a sense for going this far for a meme. I encourage you to use an RPA unpacker and actually go through the game a few times if you want to get a good look yourself. Also, he's evidently a pretty big kirby fan. This guy is an absolute legend haha
Hi!I've been "analyzing" this release and the more I go over it, the less I think that gumdrop is insane. In the immortal words of Hamlet, there is too much method to his madness.(...)
Unbelievable...I started it and after the beginning non-sense the "Have a piece of paper" and the piano game??? What an asshat Scumdrop is... His patreons have to be ready to kill...Laughing.... just laughing my ass off that dev isgold and the patreons are that stupid. Unbelievable, but true. Update in three years is a f#cking piano game.... what was and is that guy using? And people are still paying for it and are ignoring the red flags?! This is f#cking hilarious!!!
there he is, scamdrop himself, at the end of a 11 minute long feverish video, on tape, admitting that it's all a scamActually, the "Gumdrop-Entity" itself has spoken blessing his patreons with the truth at last.
To be more specific, for whoever wanted to listen to its own (creepy as f***, distorted, serial-killer-ish) voice:
- Unpack "../DFX/archive.rpa";
- Go to "../DXF/game/kino/" directory;
- Using VLC, or similar, Open "MM.webm" (the video of a pixelated skeleton illuminated by stroboscopic lights whose playing piano passionately for 11' : 11 secs. straight), and jump (pausing) to min. 10' : 30 sec;
- Set volume to max, slow down play-speed to about 70%, and start playing to "enjoy";
Those sentences may seems vague and random at first, but after some replay a "speech" as such should emerge:

Didn't think about slowing it down, good idea! The last part sounds like to me he's saying "but you... some part of you, knowing what you have to do to get out of your situation." This seems to fit within the idea I wrote about earlier how this entire DFX thing seems to be more or less a message telling his patrons to just let go of DF already. Either way, good find!Actually, the "Gumdrop-Entity" itself has spoken blessing his patreons with the truth at last.
