So work on it is continuing very slowly with no ETA, in other words he could leave it another year or more before eventually finishing it and proclaim people are now funding the new game since he said you could stop supporting me and I'll still give it to you for free when it's done. Or simply not work on it and string people along in the hope's he'll finish it.
I'm a writer so I get the burnout side of things and even needing to take a break every now and then, he'll I've even started new projects because I've lost the inspiration but I've never had people financially supporting me for those, nor did I string them along with BS excuses. I wonder how much of that Pateron money went towards this new game that people kept funding, thinking it was for an update to Milfy City? Hell if he knew what direction the story was going to go, he just didn;t have the time to do it, I'd do the writing for free if it sped up the release.
You can say that forcing yourself to work on a project you lack the inspiration for will lead to a bad product, which would lead to fans complaining about the poor update, in which case you do a post explaining the situation and you cancel the pateron funding until you pick up the project again, not go silent for x number of months and then return, not with an update on the game people had been funding you for but for a new one instead.
Which leads us back to this point where it's apparently being worked on slowly, will get released....eventually and while the "everybody gets it for free when it's done" line is nice, I could easily see him going well people stopped funding me for it so I guess they're not interested I can stop working on it entirely. Or just go well I've said I'll finish it eventually, guess I could leave it for another year or two...
