Imagine you're the dev of this game, and you read all this negativity. Would u be eager to finish this project. just be honest with yourself, this doesnt rly need a reply and isnt directed at you alone.
By definition, the comlaining about lies and delays only started
after the lying and delays started. People only really turned on Icstor around September. Before that, most stood up for him, proclaiming him to be one of the most reliable and accomplished creators, and admonished anyone who dared to question him for taking a break.
But now, there is such a high volume of complaints because of the level of audacity to not break one or two, or even three or four promises but about 7 (depending how you count'em), during the development of one single update.
Every mistake gets emphasized tenfold when you have been bullshitting people for months.
As to what happened with this game, so far as I know. Isctor fell ill, people didnt have to pay those months he was ill. Pretty sure read several comments about people who got their money back.
Icstor's Patreon was paused for one month. The other one he failed to do so due to "personal reasons". He had an entire week to pause it after he announced his break.
As far as I know, his Patreon was not paused in June (the month after he came back). I've also not seen anyone say they got their money back like you say, or even trying to do so. I'd appreciate you pointing me to a source on that one.
I'm not sure how closely you have been following this thread or the development of 0.6, but I put a summary of Icstor's post regarding 0.6 release date in a spoiler. If you take the time to read it, tell me he did not knowingly mislead his patrons for months:
