Its always a bad idea to make these accusations. It does not get us any further, but it will spoil your mood as long as it lasts.Optimist =) With this level of loyalty ofdonation hamsterspatrons and coder being so sassy - it easily could easily be twice longer =) Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about "longer it takes - more content we will see" - but I still think that devs brazenly milking patrons with that kind of delays and other "burnout" shit. At least, even if they have some difficulties - they've could make some kind of "report" on regular basis to patrons, about what's precisely happening now, without 3-page graphomancy filled with silly puns (all meaning of which is - "I don't know what coder doing, I don't know when he will finish", and btw seems like they live in the 18th century, and devs have not IM and corresponding by pigeon mail). Not to mention - even considering that last update was relatively good - there is much room to make improvements quality wise.
In the end, nobody is forced to give them money and if you feel milked.... thats kind of your fault. I spent totally about 20 bucks (splittet in 5$ donations) over the time and iam totally fine with that. Even if they would abandon this beatiful game today. They are not obliged to do anything. Always keep that in mind, if you support something on Patreon/Kickstarter or wherever.
But of course i can feel and understand your anger. The thought of being exploited always upsets you.
In the end we cant change anything and in creative projects its never helpful if the "artists" got stressed. Let them have the time they need and if they obviously take advantage of it, you can still get upset. Later. Not now.
Btw. if they lie with that bournout thing, they would lie in the "reports" as well. So that leads nowhere
Just let hope they get it ready soon. I really enjoyed the beginning 9.0
