do you think there are hopes that next month (May) will resume?

(Sorry my english)
He said he was going to take a month or 2 off, and be back in May or June. So there are hopes, but my guess is he'll be back in June.

Nope.he is taking a break for two month.meaning april and may.he will comeback june and start working to finish that remaining 35% progress bar.that remaining 35% could be divided into 2 month June and July.So the update maybe will come out August.but if only he work faster.it will finish in the middle of July.
Just My Theory I could be Wrong.

Is the save file link in the OP broken? I shamefully deleted my save files after fapping too many times to this game, but ah shit here we go again.

Is anyone else beginning to lose faith in the "sponsor creator while he makes a game" process? Zombie Life, Big Brother, Teachers' Pets, My Sweet Neighbors - and of course a bunch of much smaller titles - seems more and more like an inevitability that the developer either burns out, gets bored, isn't making the money they expected, or runs into health/RL issues and the game stops development. I could count on one hand the number of these games I've played that actually saw a true, organic completion. Very frustrating.

These games didn't even exist before sites like patreon. It might not be perfect, but it's an evolution for the better.

None of the games I listed exist now. Bits and pieces of them exist. I used to Patron these developers (I still do a couple of them); and I didn't mind the fact that by the time the game released I would be paying way more than I would for a AAA game ($5 a month for 2-3 years? That's $120-$180!). I didn't mind the fact that I would be paying the price of 2-3 AAA games for a something most people would be getting legally for free.

But there comes a point where you've poured hundreds of dollars into the system after a few years, and you don't have a single completed product where you start to say "OK, woa. What am I doing here? What am I investing in?"

Nothing stops you from adjusting your pledge here and there. Simply pay as much as you like to pay (like $5 when ever you want to download a update) and it's fine.

That said, there are of course problems with this model. Most devs certainly start highly motivated as a hobby and things come to be very different once theres some kind of pressure to spend more time on the project and once the initial motivation is gone. But judging that is, at least in my opinion, mostly up the "patreon/investor" (just like it's up to any other investor to judge the stock/business he's investing in). The easy solution to this problem is simply to give as much as the game is worth to you right now. You get a few updates a year with good content? Fine, give that dev 15 to 20 bucks a year and if something bad happens, you can simply treat it as some kind of tip and you won't have overspent.
