I think that is just laziness on the part of molly to not put any news at least. i get it he is working part-time on the game and alone, and takes time for updates, and that's ok. Surely he can get 5 minutes out of his life in a week to give some news, like what's the status and all. rather than keeping everyone in the dark for like months. i'am waiting to bust anut since last year lol

If I give a specific update date, such as a day in September or October. So it will bring pressure to my own content creation, because there will always be various situations that happen. So, No promise. Surprises cannot be predicted, can they?

They have to be NPCs or internet bots, because I’ve never met anyone this pathetic face to face.

I'm a bit late to the party but I'm sure noone will mind a bit of yapping. Anyways I think you probably have met people like that face to face. People on this site and patreon aren't from another planet, they could be your neighbours, colleagues or whatever, figuratively speaking. Of course it's comforting to think everyones an NPC but you have to be realistic you think people will go around advertising they're subbed to whatever porn game or onlyfans? No they'll go around saying whoever does that shit is pathetic and pat themselves on the back.
Anyways back to the scheduled programming: update when?

I'm not hotheaded at all, and while I'm not a creator on the creative side, I am a developer, and I understand this isn't a job — it's a hobby. But that's the problem. The moment you create a Patreon and a person decides to support you, you have a responsibility toward that person as a developer. It's pretty shameless to do what this guy is doing.

In my opinion, the product is mediocre, unfinished, and shows no sign of ever being finished — with yearly updates that are also very underwhelming. Who knows how much money he's raking in? Of course people pay voluntarily, but I understand the feeling of being scammed when you give just barely enough — the bare minimum — to keep people hopeful about the project and willing to keep paying, while deep down you know you don’t care about the project and are never going to finish it.

You even said yourself it’s not on Steam. Well, even if it’s ridiculous to report anything here, at least I’m trying. Tell me another website where people can be made aware of what they’re actually getting into.

All these games on Steam get heavily criticized for stuff like this. And on Steam, you pay once and get free updates from there. It’s not the same as having people anxiously waiting on Patreon, getting basically nothing in return. Sure, there’s a lot of pirated stuff on F95, but I have supported devs through this site — devs who do have a real project, with a business vision and actual intent to finish.

Then, of course, there’s the classic “family issues” or “personal problems” card, which you can use to pause your project in front of your backers without anyone being allowed to question it. But that’s another issue.

Even if people laugh at you for speaking out — don’t stop trying to make the world better, and don’t let others take advantage of people.

You can say louder but not clearer. This can be extrapolated to many developers. True, you can lead a relatively quiet life in your work environment, but it's about creating a game and going through all kinds of vicissitudes. Developing games is a very hostile environment. :LOL:
