Perhaps I should clarify... I'm NOT the developer of the game, just a contributor of character models.
If the game is so bad then why are you playing it and why do you care about if the dev is making excuses? Just walk away, play something else and your problem with this game will be instantly solved.
But let's be clear, I'm not passing comment on the dev, or trying to justify the delays, or making excuses for anything. I'm actually very eager to play the game, and I'm disappointed that something with so much potential seems to have hit the rocks. I'm merely pointing out that life brings problems to all of us, not just game developers.
Furthermore, if someone has the time and energy to even play a free porn game, let alone worry, complain and pass comments about it, then life can't be too bad for that person. I'm certainly in that category, but I fully appreciate that millions of people aren't.
It's all about perspective.
Even though the game has its problems I always liked this dev because he was very consistent with updates and his work ethic. I really thought that he wasn't gonna go down the usual path of developers.
Okay, everybody has personal issues, so I can't blame him for that, but since March or April things started to get fucky (not in the way we want) - delays, missed deadlines, rework of the update schedule that proved to be very ineffective....

To be fair pregnancy has been incredibly broken for a very long time, and Vin kept building more and more on top of that broken code. Fixing pregnancy probably broke just about every pregnancy event, which would effectively throw months of work down the drain that he'd need to then fix. In retrospect he probably should've just taken pregnancy off of the content polls for a few months while he worked on fixing it as a side project but it is what it is.
Is there a mod for this game that allows you to extort businesses for money when your character is a member of the mafia?
I don't think this game is too difficult to fix. Worst case scenario is that the fix involves breaking all modules.
The community would probably help fix them if Vin was transparent and gave a guide on how to get everything back together again.

You should visit the games's discord bug-report chanel and see how many unhandled reports there.

That's only true if you've not supported the dev financially. I'd say anyone who is currently sending money is owed something, even if it's only a reassurance that their commitment isn't just going to waste.
Dude, game IS free and noone owes them anything as long as it is. Of course you can pay and complain, but in the end of the day, did they paid FOR THE GAME? Or FOR THE UPDATE? No, it’s totally free and the only thing behind the paywall is early access, and when there is nothing, they have early access to mentioned nothing. For those “early access for subscription” games there is no buy/sell relations and the only thing in the end is support for the game
'Dude', the game is free if you haven't contributed to the dev via patreon. What I'm suggesting is that those who have supported the dev and his game with their money are perhaps owed something, even if it's only a more thorough explanation as to if the game has a future.
And it's worth remembering that those who have paid into the game have actually helped it to stay 'free' and not be hidden behind the kind of paywall that you describe.

If you like. It would certainly be better than the 'nothing' which some people think those who have funded the game are owed.

By that logic a beggar into whose hat I put some money owes me anything.

When you put some money into a beggar's hat, it's charity.You don't expect anything in return, and the beggar can be any other begger. But when you become a patron of vin, it has to be vin who made Lifeplay.
Nope. And it's a 'nope' because the dev isn't begging by virtue of offering something in return for monetary support. New maps, animations and custom made scenes are only available to be requested by those who pay, although they are of course accessible by everyone once the game is released. Similarly, the KOTM vote is weighted in favour of those who are prepared to spend some cash. So your amusing 'beggar' analogy is entirely flawed.
This game have so much things to do... sadly the models (and clothing clipping) and the animations, are worse than sims 4 with adult content.... really sad. In all a good game with many possibilities.
