Don't you find it strange that Icstor works and works on the update, but instead of actually delivering the update, he just show some random images from the game now and then? I'm not saying he's trying to justify their patrons he's working, I'm just saying.... well. I don't know what to say. Just showing some facts.
Of all the legitimate criticisms to offer, this one sits funny with me.
A Dev offering some amount of outreach should at least show evidence of ongoing progress here and there, so in-game or "hero shot" images are part of that communication to patrons. So, I don't find that strange considering most Dev teams do this today, regardless of what schedule they are on - MrDots delivers every month and puts teaser images out once a week, for example.
A Dev I support fell months behind due to various reasons and still offered (and offers) interim draft images as part of their outreach to the patrons, which is a big part of maintaining some faith that our support is going to something useful.
Of course, it's up to each patron to decide if they are funding a Dev they find valuable enough, outreach or not.
