Yeah, 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.

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

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 matters

Tch. I was sipping tea and peacefully reading the debate until your last line got my OCD kicking in.
Bold words for stating something is true. Are you claiming you know something we don't? Do you know Veq is lying or making excuses? Are you perhaps his roommate and you can say such things with absolute certainty about naivete? I highly doubt it.
Your perspective is based on your own experiences and while I do agree with you to some extent I'm not going to pin someone right to the wall and accuse them straight up about something when I have 0 idea about their perspective and/or experiences... You're free to do what you want with your money if you support him. Veq can pause patreon like he has before but he didn't. Those points are very valid, but accusing someone by claiming something is the truth when you have zero idea about the dev's perspective? Yeah, that's kind of a low blow and makes you seem very condescending.

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

What could happen next is once he do come back he may never get the full patreon support he once had. and still abandon the game later on. i have seen this many time and all of them ended badly. Good example was the game named: Ethan's legacy.

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.
Veq, take yer time man, life can get pretty weird sometimes. Tbh, ive been awaiting your work, its worth the wait, but its just a game afterall, and if or when it continues, im sure I'll enjoy it again. Be well homeslice

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)
in this case , veq have always been true to his word and no matter how hard things are for him, he knows we all support him and wait for him to come back.
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.

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.
A wip is a wip and that is normal that save breaks, thats not lying to his patreon.
