Although, to be fair, he doesn't get all of it:

- Patreon takes a slice
- He has to pay "lovely Victoria" for the illustrations
- Taxes (unless he wants some RL agents knocking on his door)

It's still a sh*tton though. Do people who pay 5$/month realise that it adds up to $60 in a year? Which is more than many AAA games cost on release.
He asked "How much money went into this project". Patreon/Paypal/Other people/taxes/fees/whatever are irrelevant to the question of "this is how much money went into this project"

The plan is to update 1.11 at some point to add a life story to the game, but the priority remains on getting the game to the main quest in Bangkok (with some detours into side missions, but whatever). Don't count on seeing 1.11 updated in your lifetime, but your kids might see it if Crush has kids who can do it.

Great... Crush managed to find another useless thing to waste months (years?) of development on, only to finally figure out he have no idea what to do with it and then just drop it.
The test is done and reported back on. Crush is now working on the next part of the story - which may well include the results of that test.

He already wasted months on developing it... and just because tests were done it does not mean Crush will be satisfied with results and will not continue working on it. Or that it will not ultimately be abandoned or ignored.

I seem to remember Crush wasting a bunch of time on random encounters with the previous version off the game only to end up scrapping it. Hopefully it goes better this time. That said, the last thing the game needs is more complexity. Crush already takes months to push out a 99% text update with no choices that really matter.

Yup... that was his random NPC generator which was supposed to create "clients" for FA while working as a whore. So that each enounter could be "unique" experience.

And I'm not really sure he did scrapp that, I think he just put it on hold when he decided to started focusing on life path and character creator (which is since also put on hold).

He announced that he was writing the tests on April 24, released them on May 4th, reported back on May 5th. Hardly "months" wasted.

Your dates are accurate, but miss a couple key facts:
  1. March 30th was the last release and a self-admittedly short one.
  2. The short release required January 25th until March 30th to put together and drop.
  3. During the random encounter tests, no writing was done on the actual release.
  4. His last post, May 8th, mentions needing to turn the 'beat sheet' into actual writing.
So, in summation, we had a short release mid-April, and we're approaching mid-May and he hasn't actually begun putting together the next release. So we're looking at, *earliest* an early July release of 1.19, and if that happens, it's another short release.

This guy takes forever to write shit.
