Lame sh1t, the author got previous game uncompleted, and make the new one. Now he has two uncompleted games. Nice!
And even if author will continue both games - now they will progress two times slower than before.
The game audience will become grown-up and make their own families and childrens before the games will be completed(and if it will be completed, so the game for no one).
That is not something legendary as Half-Life 2: Episode 3, which one some guys still strive waits for...
And BTW, with patreon, that is kinda commertial game, just different type of commercialisation, kind of free2play, but instead of tiring gameplay(which one bring to players idea to buy premium account), there is tiring waiting. Since money already taken - unfinishing of the job is unacceptable.
