The biggest issue that a lot of people have is that the update has had delay after delay over the years, and most recently the update was completely stopped to work on a Christmas Special that never materialized.

1st: Dev admits that he's bad at estimating timelines and that it was a mistake to try and release the whole chapter at once, but says while he's learned his lesson he's too far in to just release what he has now so he's just gonna truck on and finish it.
2nd: Dev immediately backtrack on that and announces that he's pausing working on the chapter to make a Christmas event no one asked for cause "other devs do it".
3rd: Dev clearly hasn't learned his lesson and is still bad at estimating timelines cause it's more than a month after the Christmas event was supposed to come out and he's still released nothing.
TLDR: Komisari admits to have made some mistakes in how he's been working on the game, but still continues to make the same mistakes which is killing the goodwill fans have left.
Personally I'm still in the camp of: If it comes out I'll play it, and if it doesn't I'll play something else.
Man
I'm also honestly surprised this dude is making so much money with zero content released in 2+ years. One of the main benefits of patreon games with regular updates is that players can actually detect bugs and also tell the dev if they add shit systems or the game goes in direction nobody wants. So many people are putting blind faith that the dev will release the game, the game releases without a shit ton of bugs because the playerbase hasn't been able to playtest it for 2+ years AND also the game hasn't gone off the rails and added shitty systems or stories that nobody wanted. I'm guessing they just saw the first good release, donated money and then forgot about the game lol.
Man I hope he doesn't do that thing some devs do where they work on content for a long time and then decide to remake the first bit because it's not up to their "current standard". One of the benefits of semi-regular content releases is the fact the dev can't stunlock himself into not releasing an update. This is especially likely to happen when said content has been taking 2+ years because devs don't want to release something disappointing and lose their income.

Relax guys. The update will come out in a few days or so...
hehe, I actually was one of the people asking for it. I wanted to see the girls at Christmas, and it is a common and liked thing for games.
Doing a seasonal event conceptually isn't a bad thing, it's just the developer can't get things done in a reasonable timeframe, so his work missed Christmas, and delayed the already delayed chapter.
How exactly would that work without the chapter itself? Do you mean some standalone thing? To be honest that sounds like shit. Any christmas content should be implemented into the game itself imo just like the halloween update.

It's not standalone. U have to have the base game, It will work just like a halloween event.
Oh then that's fine but it should really be AFTER the new chapter gets released.

Definitely not, if you consider the fact that the Christmas update was planned to take 2 months to make and it's so far has been 3 with no release, imagin by how much the dev probably miscalculated the time it would take to complete the main update and how much longer you would have to wait. If he releases something at least we will know for sure that he is actually making something, otherwise it's just the dev's word and over 2 years of no update. So as things are he needs to release something asap since trust is wearing thin at this point even for the most devout fans of the game.
Hmm I can see what you mean from that POV but either way we would only get content if it's being worked on. I guess the shorter deadline prevents him from stunlocking himself by worrying about quality. Btw was the deadline that's just passed for the christmas update or the whole chapter? I see some people saying the update isn't coming out at all.

The promised date for the main update was by the end of 2022 or the beginning of 2023. Whether the deadline has passed or not depends on how you interpret 'beginning' of 2023. I wouldn't say it passed, but I doubt the deadline will be met given the circumstances.
I figured I'd check back in and remind the Dev, if he's still lurking, of some advice I gave a little while back. One way to take pressure off yourself is to pause Patreon payments as long as you have enough savings to do so. And work on the game for free for a while. It sounds crazy, I know. But I cannot tell you what an enormous weight would lift off your shoulders. And how much easier it is to be effective when you don't have to worry quite as much about letting people down.
Will it lift all of the expectations off your shoulders? No. But it will lift some. And it will temporarily halt your brain from adding more and more weight every day.

2-3 years without update but still earning a lot of $$$$ from patreon..... Not a chance
I'm afraid that this is another scam, especially after he announced that we will get a new update before a new year (2023)...
and then he said something about Christmas update - and still nothing....
and then he said that he is working on Christmas update, and the 0.1.3 update is on-hold because of this....
and then 2023 came, and he said he is working hard on Christmas update, and will resume work on 0.1.3 after he finish this....
and some time later he announced, he's bad at planing, and apologised and don't know when he will finish this.. but is still working on this
and now another month is at the end, and we still not have 0.1.3 nor even this Christmas update....
But he still earns $$$ for patreon, and claims he's working on updates etc . . .
(And BOOM!! - After my comment, the next day he releases both Christmas update and 0.1.3.. "Mark my words"

That's really not the issue here... Patreon is totally voluntary, if a person doesn't want to support the dev they can stop their support. The only people that it bothers are mostly people that have never supported the dev to begin with and just feel envious that someone is making money and not them, and they just need to take it out on someone in some way such as moaning about milking. If you think about it reasonably, if you are not the one paying then what do you care, and if you are, you are free to stop your support. It's that simple.
If the dev has been working on the game he deserves the money (not to mention he lost a lot of Patreons throughout the 2 years of not releasing anything as is). The real question is if there really is content or if this is another case like Polarity and Perverted Hotel where the devs posted pictures of their 'work' and promised updates but ultimately it turned out there was no update since both devs weren't actually doing anything more than making pictures to post occasionally. Whether or not the dev turnes off payments doesn't matter since for those who are supporters they can turn off their payments themselves, and for those who are not it doesn't make any difference either way. As long as the dev produces something that would be great. If it turns out people here were being led on for 2+ years hoping for an update for none to come, now that would suck, and whether payments are on or off at this point wouldn't change that.
