Here's the thing with Shitstor - I DO believe the new game will come out, and may even come out on time. If his pattern for the last few games stays true to form, the new game will bring about a new 'commitment' and 'passion'. And he does need to make sure his SS page gets unlocked so it can receive pledges, right? Remember, there has been no commitment to his Patrons they will receive this new game despite paying for its development for several months.
I also believe, however, his 'pattern' will continue: By episode 5 (possibly 6), releases will start to slow down and the quality will look more and more 'mailed in'. A post will be made about a NEW new project that has consumed his soul, and he really wants to work on that instead because of <whatever>. He'll either rush this game's ending leaving several paths undeveloped/unfinished, or (even worse), give a choice to the paying community: Let me work on new game or else! We all know how that worked out for Milfy Shitty.
So, to anyone who feels compelled to fund this or any future project: You've been warned.
