It's impossible for the update to be ready in a week. If for some reason 90% of my patrons would disappear in a day, I think every developer would push an update.
Not because they've been lazy/not working on the update, but because of desperation.
My patrons are trusting in my words when I say I want Chapter 1 to have an impact on old/new players, just like the prologue did, and that I'm taking my time to do it, and the only reason Chapter 1 is not out it's because the story is not done, period, not because I'm overextending stuff.
My patrons know exactly what I'm doing, I told them in my patron posts, I would suggest you check on it.
Abusing my patrons would be lying about an ETA or telling them to keep paying to receive x thing.
Also, this is how having a fan feels?
