I would actually be impressed if it came out in August. My guess is November.Don't say such things! Just don't
At this point, I'd be glad if it came out at all.

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

To the consoleHey guys,it says the money cheat is inventory.money=xxxx but where exactly do I type it?
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.($5 a month for 2-3 years?

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?"
Congratulations,Lets agree on one basic principle:
You charge 1 a month, you UPDATE 1 a MONTH.
Too complicated?
See this right here is a problem. Some dev's don't do this for varying reasons (The amount of time needed to create content for the proper dev's and some not so upstanding dev's will say a variety of things) so it really depends on the dev.Lets agree on one basic principle:

Surprised you don't have a meme for thatCongratulations,
You just posted the stupidest post from today : ).

ICSTOR's case, well, it does take time to get content but if you had to compare against other dev's then there are others who do make their work more "complete" compared to ICSTOR who are able to release versions quicker. Still, it's decent work though.
See this is funny. I was just in a PM about this.That doesn't affect the basic principle.
PAY AS YOU GO.
If you need 6 months, the process must be:
"I pledge to pay X amount to be charged WHEN AND ONLY WHEN update drops."
Thats how the problem is solved. Thats how many contracts in real life work.
PATREON has the wrong CLOCK. The system clock must be UPDATES. Not TIME.
Then that wouldn't be the responibilty of the creator, that's YOUR own choice.That doesn't affect the basic principle.

Not really, no. The problem simply is that certain plotlines etc. need time to develope. And I'd rather wait 3 months for a really good and conclusive update with a lot of content, than getting that same content split into 3 smaller updates which each on its own aren't good. The work and time invested will be the same, but the player experience will be different.Lets agree on one basic principle:
You charge 1 a month, you UPDATE 1 a MONTH.
If you really want your comment to be read.I Suggest you fix your sigs first.Ahh Faith is a strong word... But by time the new update for this game should be released, there might not be any Faith remaining in me...
