He hasn't created anything for close to a yearHonestly though, I wouldnt be surprised if he did stop development after 0.6 with how toxic the community is. Creativity and passion can't work in that kind of environment. Takes a certain type of person to be able to handle this amount of toxicity and lack of understanding. The man creates one the highest quality games in our community and most of us don't pay a dime for it.
What exactly are people supposed to understand? If he was honorable he would have suspended his patron for the time he was away and only charged them based on his normal release schedule which was every 2-3 months. Instead he suspended for two months In which he "forgot" to suspend for a month.
Noone is arguing that he isn't talented but this isn't bioware or CDProject Red where they can just miss deadlines and you still end up paying 50 dollars for the game. There are real world financial implications for his patrons when he promises something and doesn't deliver that is money that they don't get back and when he loafs around for 9 months missing his own deadlines and breaking promises while still taking his patrons money which is scammy as fuck.
Most people here don't give a fuck because they don't donate so what does it matter to them. I have donated in the past to ICSTOR and do so for other games honestly I couldn't care less if ICSTOR leaves the last thing patron needs is another gumdrop. If this is the kind of dev he is going to be moving forward then walking away and suspending his patron after he releases this update would probably be the most honest thing he's done in the last 11 months.
