Quit bullying Komisari! He said in discord he's working on the Christmas update and the new chapter right now! They're both going to be released at the start of April. He's doing this to make up for the delay so be nice!
lmao calling someone out on their bullshit aand bullying are two different things. how about stop simping over a guy who quite clearly has no care about his patreons or fans of his game at all

Can you make your sarcasm less obvious? those comments hurt more than they insult him XD

Months ago any slight criticism or jokes about the release date would get you mobbed by whiteknights and probably your post getting deleted. How times change hehe. The red flags were always there; When a dev spends all his time defending himself instead of actually delivering content, you know something's off.

It's funny when you contrast it against ICSTOR. Who has received 100 times more hate than Komisari but has released 2 updates since Komisari's last one and managed to get the abandoned tag as well.

The main point in releasing only once it is good is that it is released when it is perfect, so you don't get e.g. desperate bug reports, or complains about unfinished areas, or snick comments about stuff which you had to cut corners. Plus, you can rework renders and none will complain if you spend a month reworking stuff rather than adding more content, giving you a lazier workflow and hopefully a healthier working environment.

The downside is that occasionally people complain about the time between releases, so it relies a lot on trust.

And it should go without saying that this is a proven method... for yearly releases, or stretching, two years. At some point, this method will cause you more mental strain than actually releasing unfinished stuff. It will create too many expectations which you'll not be able to meet, and to actually meet them will cause you to use so much time that it'll become an endless loop.

But someone once said, "there's always time to make things perfect after the 1.0 release". For example, if you start learning AI-generated imagery, you could reach a new level. Master ControlNet, and you will surpass almost every other game which exists here. Do this now, and....
...you'll never finish.

And by not finishing, you'll drain more and more the trust and eventually you'll be left alone with haters. This will demolish your mental health. You should avoid this situation for your own sake. Instead of seeking quality and keeping those whom trusted you happy, try organizing your own schedule. You can't make anyone happy if you never release, not even you.

TL;DR In case Komisari failed to notice, they passed the point where making a quality release causes more satisfaction and less mental damage than releasing buggy stuff often. I advise getting help, even if they end up hiring a project manager instead of "extra hands". Keep in mind and take advantage that Patreon pages can pledge to other pages.

But most importantly, Patrons are feeding you not only money, but trust. If you can't trust your patrons enough to eg. show them all the ugly hacks you need to get stuff done, or how many liters of coffee each render costs you, or demos with a longer list of "known issues" than actual "changelogs"... Yes, trust was never meant to be uni-directional.

Good luck!
