The only redeeming qualty is if Alexis finds out he sucker punched MC then, he looses both "hunting grounds" school and bar Not to mention hi-jinx with her boss. Maybe the good puppy dragging him away by his crotch like the dog Jerry Lee did to the headrest in the movie K9

Thank you very much for your interesting statistics. According to Dev, he wanted to compose or add his own background music, which didn't quite work out. Based on your table (referring to EP 8, EP 10.5 or EP 11) and what the dev reported that Episode 13 is a big update, I expect the next update in October/November this year. If the negative trend continues here, the release of the update will be postponed by a factor of X.
Intertwined is one of my favorite games, but Nyx has repeatedly proven that she's not exactly the most tech savvy dev. While I think it's great for her that she tried some new creative endeavor, I'm not surprised that it didn't pan out as expected.
This was already known and described by the developer herself. The reasons were also stated.
Considering that the lack of music is one of the biggest points of criticism that is repeatedly leveled at the developer, it is understandable that she has started to take care of music. That takes time. Plus the holidays and vacation time, which she has also communicated transparently in previous progress updates. I don't see it all that dramatically.
This is something that should be done for all majors VN out there on Patreon. It would be a good metric to judge progression and commitment, especially for donors. It would also put some pressure on devs without being excessively invasive.
Well, she wasn't working on her project for a month (holidays, vacations, etc.) and, as she stated, she didn't just searched for music. She mades it herself, including the part as singer. That's a lot more time to do as just searching in content libraries and buying licenses. But I understand you. Don't get me wrong here.
I'm sure it almost always starts as a free time thing. The problem is that nowadays most people on Patreon asks at least 5€/$ a month at minimum for 1/2 updates a year. Put in perspective, that's the cost of two commercial games per year per sub.
Pro-tip, search compressed win, compressed mac, compressed pc.
