Hope you are right, almost 8 months since last beta. We should not forget that is a game with almost no feats or decisions (no cell, no computer, no paths, no money, no stats, almost nothing). I know that it has a good graphic quality, but it does not help that Xenorav fails every week report too (thing that offers to EVERY PATREON)
what most people don't understand
Artists work on patreon because they don't want someone to boss them around and tell them to report every week, also not because some do the report obliges all to do it, every artist work at his own pace.
When you work as artist in a company you learn that there is always a fight between artists and production, because art needs time, and production doesn't give a damn about the time or human emotions.
Making art needs also the right mood to keep going, you can't force an artist through a burnout and expect some good results.
yes people pay -although those who don't pay a cent must be quiet- and those who pay should remember that's called a donation as encouragement, it's like a tip that you willingly give because you like a service, it's not an actual job that gets the person fired if they don't report in time.
The donations can be stopped any moment if the person is not longer willing to encourage the artist, it should not be a toxic blackmailing process but a positive encouragement.
That's what most people don't understand
