This is the only place where I feel like a fortune teller.

My prediction is he will copy past something from the last 2-year post. To get cash from the patron. (Eg. The mental issue, mass reporting, 8000 images ready, don't want to disappoint my fans, etc. And new year new promises)

That's not the first time that I saw the abandoned tag here. Last time, Icstor quickly put a bs update and the tag was removed.

Maybe it will happen again...

Its not about being a bad or good person a scammer milker etc this applies to any dev who gets too big for their own good - some games aren't made by a single dev and are ran as a business and don't succumb to this problem. You have been around long enough to also see nearly every game going from a 3 month per release schedule to 6-12 months. Even the 'best' devs get way lazier way more complacent etc because they don't HAVE to stick to a schedule they can do w/e they want since they know they have so many patreons to fall back on losing a little won't make any difference to them anymore. Obviously for most of us this is a bad thing since we just wants updates as fast as possible but I guess if you don't care about when updates come and are just happy the dev doesn't have to stress over releasing updates quickly like they used to then that's great too. Also some devs like to be extra friendly and nice to their supporters constantly talking to them etc while the updates get slower and slower, its a nice strategy to milk people and this type of dev is much more of a bad person to me than some1 like ICSTOR who just got lazy from an absurd amount of success, like many others have (hard to work on your game when you are in the bahamas)
Thats what I said in a way, what I mean is that he is getting money for nothing and he is not a profesional unlike other devs, so he doens't care as long money flows his way.
If all people leaved him he will be forced to update the game to get support again, it happened before in the past with this dev.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
ScriptError: Name (u'game/gui.rpy', 1645035109, 56) is defined twice, at game/gui.rpy:11 and game/gui.rpy:26.

how to solve it?

So rules need to be tightened.
I think it would be more effective to act on the side of the donors rather than on the side of the creators. There are too many differences between the creations to manage to make an effective rule, or to create a rule by type of creation.

On the other hand, doing something to avoid donations because the donor has forgotten would be easier. For example, if after 6 months you haven't connected to the creator's page that you are sponsoring, Patreon no longer takes your money until you return to the creator's page.

Probably not, this time the tag is the direct result of one of ICSTOR's posts saying that the game is permanently on hold.

I do see what you are saying but here is the problem. If a donor forgets he is donating to a dev.....no harm is done except to the donor himself. If a dev is using the loop holes to be lazy and scam his donors he is hurting other devs, Patreon and the donors. Yes i'm going with the "1 bad apple spoils....." 1 bad dev puts other devs in a bad light.

I get that some devs take longer to do their updates. But if that dev was an honest dev he wouldn't be charging for those extra months cause they should be on him.

Yeah, time will tell...

And what the hell is this Patreon discussion? You can literally make a subscription and then cancel that subscription right in the next moment. People are just idiots.

i mean at this point he doesn't really need to update the game again even if he loses all his patreons. unless he is blowing that much money on cocaine or something.

I’m so upset. I just had a dream about that game I was trying to remember that’s similar to this and can’t remember any specific details from the dream. Only that I realized I was actually dreaming about the exact game (lucid dreaming). So sad right now.
