Well take a look at gumdrop. He literally hasn't released an update for 2 1/2 years, and the dumbasses on patreon keep feeding him money despite him not showing any work that he has done except for small teasers. It's pathetic. No wonder these devs delay updates so much, it's the easiest money making ever. Making over 30k a month by just making empty promises. I mean, who would be stupid enough not to take advantage of these cash cows.
Dual Family's last update was March of last year, so a bit over 1 1/2 years, not 2 1/2 years. Your point stands on its own - you don't need to exaggerate. Kyle is the King of Milkers.

If you guys think ICSTOR is bad about missing updates, the last DF update I saw (before I stopped watching the thread) was in February 2019, delayed from December 2018 because he made a Christmas special. He's making more than ICSTOR, and hasn't turned off his Patreon at all.

Uuh, I'll also make a guess:
I think there will be Judy content in 0.7. It will be used to justify a delay.

Late December/early January:
"Hey everyone, I decided to expand this update by adding Judy into it. After 0.6 being such a large update everyone would feel disappointed if 0.7 was only about Sarah. Unfortunately, that means we have to push this release a little bit. I hope that there will be no more delays. The % progress bar will be stay like that for a while to represent the real current progress since I am expanding the scope of this next update to include Judy."

Mid/late February:
"Hey everyone, good news.
We made really good progress and Sarah's content is almost finished.
Unfortunately, I also had a lot of problems with my rendering software. This is why Judy will receive less content than Sarah."
Damn dude, you're actually pretty good at writing patch updates (and the associated circular reasoning that supposedly justifies chronic, lengthy delays). I understand that this was written in a tongue in cheek manner, but regardless it's superior to the majority of Patreon dev patch notes that I've come across. Just wanted to chime in with my observation.'

And as far as the substance of your theoretical timeline, I see nothing that's an unreasonable expectation based on past track record... I basically force myself to forget about and ignore that this game exists for ~6 months at a time, and when I finally stumble onto it again there should (theoretically) be enough new content to justify the download.

Although the whole no animation launch was a real head scratcher for me. Like the animations are the whole point of this game for most of the audience; delaying animations (and then not keeping to your updated timetable) beyond content release just makes the new content feel depressing.

When does the beginning of v0.7? And when the new content with Linda?
You're gonna be waiting for that a while, because if I recall correctly, 0.7 update is gonna focus on Sara mostly, it's not Linda's turn, Sara hasn't gotten an update for well over a year, like year and a half, it's her time xD

Hehe, thanks I guess, but don't give me too much credit. I just took Icstor's previous Patreon posts and mainly changed neighbors to Judy and 0.6 to 0.7.
The timeline doesn't seem unreasonable to you because, as you said, you have seen it before:

He still doesn't finish 0.6 animations. And if I remember clear he planing doing Linda content in 0.9. So its probably july 2020.
nope as far as the analysis goes according to his recent delays its going to be near December 2020 if he does not focus/create a Christmas special update on Christmas 2020 update. Still you will get the Linda Update in the Christmas 2020 special episode and that also goes if he doesn't delay that Christmas special episode till nextcoming Halloween 2021.

Guys, you should not give false hopes. Never.

Never expect anything anymore: something will come out when it comes out, if it comes out. Period.

I told you: "guys, this game's fucked up, don't expect anything anymore" when the Dude announced that he was taking a pause in March. Many people told me I was a jerk. So, tell me: what do you think about it right now?
