As much as I want to say something against it, it still is true that a creator could totally pause charging on Patreon. But I am at least glad veq says that he will take a pause, that way Patrons can at least decide what they do in that time. But yeah definitly not perfect! But better then the ones that go silent for good and let their Patreon still runYeah, real life can be a bitch, but there is a trend among WEGs developers
-Make a few updates
-Gain some patrons
-Stop development but keep Patreon open
-Onhold/Abandoned while still charging monthly
But eh, you can withdraw your pledge anytime
Look at Pandelo, developer of My Sweet Neighbours, real life problems = stop charging patrons, It doesn't seem that hard to me.
Veq has some personal issues he's dealing with, but he WILL return to develop the game when he's feeling better, his love for the game hasn't died out, he just need to sort his stuff first so that they stop weighing on his shoulders and can be in a good place and feel better, that's ultimately all that mattersonhold ?? wth happened ?
Tch. I was sipping tea and peacefully reading the debate until your last line got my OCD kicking in.Yes, while continuing to take money for nothing, he does not forget. You guys are so naive. I really do not like this trend, shameful for the whole industry. Some developers abandon their game barely starting, but but don't talk about it, keep silent and continue to take money.
Well, I finished the discussion, sorry if my words insulted someone, but I am sure of one thing: I am telling the truth. Unpleasant, but true. You are too trusting.
So the patrons can't think for themselves and should be controlled?Yeah, real life can be a bitch, but there is a trend among WEGs developers

Of course, scammed people can think for themselves.So the patrons can't think for themselves and should be controlled?
What victory are you talking about?I knew it. But people insulted me and more. How sweet this victory is.
but that only happen in fórums where they pirate the game........ and get them for free, if you are a patreon of some game you will see that the real people who support devs in patreon dont slash and critice no matter how much money they pay the dev (unless of course they have a reason to, like with the dev lying or changing the direction of the game)The Irony here is I'm 99.9% sure Those that criticize never actually supported his game in the first place. Second, doubt any of them had made a game before our a game that took serious effort to make. Could he pause his patreon? yes if he is not working on the game at all right now. That would be normal etiquette. However, it is getting harder for those of us that do monthly updates to justify them as people want more content in less time and want monthly updates that work without bugs too. games released on patreon are Alpha's or Beta's unless stated otherwise.
supporting or not supporting a dev it's your choice, your claim however is demonstrably false.veq have always been true to his word
if u were a patreon you should know then that he stopped his patreons pay..... dont go bs a dev just cause you think you are right.supporting or not supporting a dev it's your choice, your claim however is demonstrably false.
when he published v0.5 he said he was forced to break saves in order to implement a sandbox structure and that he would make sure not to break saves ever again.
then he published v0.6, breaking saves again, this time around he put a big screen at the start of the game where he promised that was the last time he would break saves.
finally, he published v0.7, where he broke saves for the 3rd time in a row, claiming it was necessary cause that change in structure would allow him a quicker working process so that new versions would be published every 1.5 month, 2 months at the most (that was the point i was totally done supporting him).
that happened last October and he hasn't published new versions in 5 months.
again, you can support this dev if that pleases you but there is no way anybody here can claim he was true to his words.
