Not trying to cause any trouble and I know where you're coming from with this, but this really does not apply in this case.
People are supporting her by donating money via Patreon and thus expect a finished product at the given date.
For the last two Betas it felt to me as if Gabe somehow had problems finishing up the parts which she meant to implement into the game (most notably the CG scenes, which had placeholders of the same scene in a different artstyle).
Up to that point there was at least SOME progress in terms of story and gameplay.
I get that having like 5 different artstyles is a lot of work but in return no one asked for it.
The least that could have been done was to add the beastman type stuff into a possivle gold edition as some sort of afterthought, which would have pleased the bestiality kind of fetishists but also kept the progress of the game steady without having too much bearing weight on Gabe's part.
It kind of is the Patreon's right to complain if they don't feel like their money is spent well during this period (in the last 2-3 months we got like maybe two new areas to explore and mostly bugfixes of things implemented in the previous versions).
I believe the biggest problem here is that Gabe is overambitious, trying to put more content into the game than she can handle, I mean the story/game should be finished and THEN you can add them as some sort of extra into the game.
With that said I hope that maybe Gabe concentrates more on the game itself as opposed to the other stuff.
I'm sure several did not care for that comment... So, now I'll explain it...
Games are a lot easer to play and complain about than create. You may play a single story line, or thread, but someone else may play a different thread...
BUT, the programmer has to write both threads, and several more, and all possible outcomes... and tie them all together.
I understand the frustration waiting for a bug fix, an update, or an advancement in the main story. I was going to wait till the story was more finished before diving in... But from what I have seen, this is the best playable of the 3, even if it is only partway finished. In the last update, there were changes at the start of the story, something you would not see if you just continued from your last save. Orb of Restoration??? (What's the sound effect for "I could take it or leave it"???) The story does not reset, you just go back to the start, like new, but all your equipment and stats... It's like starting kindergarden over again, after you have already done everything... If it reset the story, and all the quests, then that could be something different...
So, in short.. just wait for the updates and play them as they come out, or restart each one with a new start, after all, you already know the secretes, and now they will be a challenge again... You could even try something new this time through.
