A solid game made yesterday doesn't guarantee one's great future either if they remain the same, complacent to the task at hand, and thinking that the cards they've played still hold some relevance.

If they lose Patrons, well, that's on them.
It may be difficult to decide to take a break, make a new plan/roadmap/what-have-you, and then decide with a big heart that it'd be best to pause payments until they think that the content is worth subscribing to again. But hey, if that renews their morale and overall enjoyment in making the content we longed for all these years, I'm not against the idea. ^^"
Also, what use for me (or anyone else) to subscribe to someone who does erotic content but then all I heard was radio silence? I'd be pretty pissed and thought I have been ripped off from behind my back.
Well it does hold some relevance. From what I can see Noxian Nights is free now. Thats another confusing aspect of Patreon, I guess many are paying them as sort of a "tipping jar" for the appreciation of having developed a previous game and allowing them to play it for free. If they stopped development and abandoned KoD at the time they realized they were in over their heads, they would not have gotten any royalties at all from the completed NN. That payment model rewards dragging out the dev process of a game since as long as you are assumed to still be working on a game people will still pay you. Actually finishing a game only has downsides.
Look at "Dual Family". The guy behind it could have just finished up the game by now with the last update but chose instead to go on a metaphysical LSD-type of storytelling trip that absolutely nobody would like just to be able to continue the game on patreon. The content he produced was just as time consuming to create as finishing up the story would have been Im sure, but there were zero incentatives for doing so and many to just drag things out.
And I know some sell the games on steam and similar, but they are just a ban waiting to happen.

Is this game abandoned cause there is barely any new content...
Maybe a bit of an odd question, but the gallery shows scenes I oughtn't to have unlocked yet as being unlocked; is there any way to fix this and return them to a locked state? I tried deleting the old saves from previous versions in "%APPDATA%\RenPy\yadda yadda" but it didn't seem to help.
They use the file called "persistent" to store which scenes were unlocked. You can find that file in the save folder (appdata and also in the /game/saves folder).
I don't really see the problem though.

So the floating plane without fuel is finally stalling.... sad... another great game going to be ruined and abandoned because the creators got the cash for free and now they dont have motivation anymore...
Thats why i love pirating! most of developers dont deserve trust, first give the complete game THEN i will give u the cash.

Its obvious ever since Sierra left that production has massively dropped. Nomo might have the artistic side to him but there seems to be no one there putting stuff together and it gets even worse when they hire new staff midway in into the prologue. Yes I call it the prologue because it literally feels like the opening chapter of a book. We are introduced to a tribe, a bit of backstory and venture out once or twice but there's not more depth and we as the player have managed to achieve nothing in regards to impact outside the tribe and inside the tribe its very miniscule.

Dont see it getting abandoned any time soon. Getting ~10k for once a year update with at best half an hour of new content ? They will keep milking until the last drop

thats the exact definition of abandoning in this industry, u will see less and less until there is no update for 2-3 years and bam abandoned, this is not the first time this happened, sadly...
pls
next version
next version
3 patches
I think 1 week between them at best is a good estimation
3 weeks from now is 1st of July
They aren't going to meet their self-declared timeline, again.

This game and others are very good examples why patreon should be dismantled or not used for porn industry,you see the results here and it by definiton promotes laziness.
People to fight something like this cancell all your patreon subscriptions and try to get others to do the same,this is the only way...short of kidnapping nomo and others...to make a difference and maybe to see KoD finished.

They have failed to do that already. They said they would release Ylva quest by early June but it is 11th/12th June (depending on where you live) and I don't see any signs of a release yet.
On the discord this morning Nomo said NDS would finish inserting the Patch 1: Ylva content into an update in "a few days". So i'd say that 1) I'm with Shakira, Hrienn is most certainly missing their "early" in the month deadline, and 2) Jinsoyun is absolutely right that coding seems like their critical bottleneck.
I'm not saying it's NDS' fault (...though NDS has admitted their computer is a potato that can't run RPGMaker's browser form) as the team's project management skills would make me suspect that this may be a workflow issue where the art and writing is dumped at the feet of coder, who then has to hustle to get it all together last minute. Full speculation on my part here on the root of issue, i bet the blame lies squarely in the middle of this team's triangle.
