For situations like this where the dev has gone quiet, I think there should be a tag called "Ghosted" or "AFK" or "MIA". Anything but Abandoned as that's too vague and to some degree... terminal in terms of support for some devs.

Also, not everyone has a singular mindset of posting on every site just to keep everyone happy. He's active on Discord and maybe he thinks that should be enough since maybe that's where the majority of his Patreon users hang out for info and whatnot and maybe he thinks "who gives a crap about pirates and what they think he should do to avoid a tag that doesn't make sense".

Just saying.

Except that for at least the last year all his posts start with "Sorry" and then a reason why he couldn't communicate with his supporters.

Pretty much all the talks on discord were about how to better communicate with us. Also you fail to understand that everyone here isn't a pirate, lots of supporters, like myself come here to finds games and devs to support.

I used to support this dev but stopped several months ago because of being jerked around so much on updates and communication.

Considering that so much people knows that this dev is known to disappear and say nothing for long, I don't get why they would support him, instead of supporting a dev that really cares about the game and it's followers, and is responsible enough to show that he cares, because if you can't post every 3 months, I don't care what's going on in your life, it only shows that you don't care enough.

Same here. Only thing that worries me is the reason why he was silent this long the last time, just hope he's alright.
The last time he really expounded on anything on Discord (back in early December), he explained that he had some extended family trouble and that they were taking advantage of him. How? Not too sure. Some of us on Patreon and Discord (including the official Discord mod) have reached out privately just to see if he is ok, but no answers, yet. I think anything from here regarding his absence is purely speculative.

This is just speaking personally and as a long time fan, but he used to be VERY consistent, and I supported him every month at that time because I thought MLC was worth every penny since it is a unique and amazing game... Then the ghosting began a few years back, and I sort of just supported him when an update dropped. Then the ghosting continued, and I stopped all together. And now, and this is just speaking for myself, I am just passed caring whether we'll get another update or whether he'll return. I am a fan, I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt, and I wish him well, but I am not going to give him another dollar until he brings back that consistency he was known for.
I understand the he has gone through shit, hell, we all have, and we all cope with our hobbies and side-hustles in various ways. But it's hard to justify supporting him anymore, whether monetarily on Patreon or emotionally on Discord, especially when he promises one thing (give more progress updates via Patreon) and does another (completely disappears).

Maybe ; what if ,all speculation, when he post's he post's, if he doesn't he doesn't, so complaining won't help. So thanks for the fun game hope the dev is well maybe we'll see you soon .and a early Happy St Patrick's day to you all, Cheers ;)

Super sad, if this game remains abandoned it'll be my new number one game for the one I liked the most that didn't get finished. Hopefully it gets continued, but a dev ghosting everyone is usually a bad sign.

Well, that's disappointing. I hope it's not because he ended up in the hospital again like what happened during one of his earlier vanishings.
