I mean, it's no surprise really. Consider the facts that it has been more than a year since the last update and that the next version will be nothing but a merger of the previous single week versions, there is just no acceptable excuse for the long wait.
If I was a patron of this game, I would probably feel pretty stupid for paying month after month for nothing by now. That's just me, of course, others might be so dedicated to the game that they don't care or have so much money to burn that their contribution to bluecat's patreon doesn't matter.
I didn't understand this need to make a merged version from the start tbh, as if having this in single games was ever going to be any MORE of a problem than merging it into a single game version.
It's impractical, it will be huge in size and frankly this is something to think about once you have finished the game, but not now.
As others have pointed out, the chances that this game was ever gonna reach 365 days was so ridiculously small to begin with and if it continued in this tempo it would be finished in about 30 years or so?
I can't even imagine what games will be like then.
Why did no one in the team go and tell bluecat "dude, go for a realistic goal and make a chapter spanning two to three months in game, if we finish that, we can just go and add more chapters, don't plan for 365 days, because this will never work."
To be honest, he should have known that himself, but still... seems a bit like those families of casting show candidates who never tell them they can't really sing for shit.
