You overestimate people's general awareness of these things.
At this point I wonder if people even remember Breeding Season, perhaps one of the more famous of these scams. Thousands of people donated thousands of dollars, despite two of the main people behind the project having a reputation of being flakey, abandoning projects, and taking the money and running away.
Hell, look at this project, two bloody years ago people where already saying the same damn things that are being said right now, you can look through this thread and see them being called out repeatedly. Tet here we are, two years later, and people are still acting like this is somehow news.

Nope, apart from combat test that if you would still call it an 'update', there're no any major playable update from 2 years ago.
Those giving them money on 10$ or higher are giving access to inner circle update which is technical bullshit they been feed little by little until now, no any playable major update has been distributed there either.
And those patronage them lower than that basically giving them free bucks in the dimming light of hope to see their actual product that far on the horizon someday, but yes, still a free money, cuz apart from "15$ in total"to pre-purchase their product, they basically got nothing as most major post are on inner circle update for a long while now.

Well, at least they are now under the 5k$ threshold. Hopefully, that will help to put some pressure on them.

Maybe not, because they lost another 30 today alone. And considering their profits dropped by over $300, they were all inner circle.

Every time I see this thread I'm surprised this game is still not considered 'Abandoned' considering it hasn't been updated in more than 2 years. Sure the dev still posts Patreon updates but they haven't touched the game in a very long time.

I know I might move on thin ice with my coming statement but It´s very similiar in my eyes when you can say the same about believing in god.
There are hints of it existing (which also all come from humans) but no proof for it and you canot actually contact or interact with that "thing". Some take it as given (the remaining patrons in our case) and others believe in the seemingly obvious.
So same goes for this game. By pure logic the state of the game is abandoned but you can´t technically lock it in until the maker declares it like that.

I think what everyone here is saying it's not that the game WILL be abandoned, but that the devs put away their focus on their ''main'' game just to make the sidescroller game they are developing right now INSTEAD of finishing the game they were doing initially.
I dont have anything against devs in general but they really should focus on ONE PROJECT AT THE TIME. (Sorry if my english is bad)

You should probably have something against devs that take 6 years to put a game on hold only to start another one that hasnt given anything out in more than 6 months.

I mean, i would have, if i ever supported them on patreon (which i didn't and i won't).
Pity that this team has more support than many other team which get the project done. Thousands of $ per month but no update for at least 2 years. What a waste of good art game and resources.
Anyone still got access to the inner circle stuff? I mean, it's obvious why you wouldn't, but it seems they've posted quite a bit recently.
