lets get it right here. the wheel never fell of anything. The original game was what his patrons where subscribing to. The game we have today is nothing like that, that was originally under development. In 3 years he posted the smallest update he could, which was nothing but a few image changes, this strangely stopped his game from being abandoned, there was no continuation of anything. He lied repeatedly about patreon, and he lied about his work.
He saw an opportunity to scam his insanely large amount of patrons and he did so with gusto. A scammer has to do what a scammer does best, should be his motto.
At this point Patreon should out right ban him, and these sites should not feature any of his work, by actually doing so all they are doing is endorsing the scamming he is doing to innocent and the less intelligent.
How long have you been following this game? I bet it wasn't from the outset, and you probably came to the game when it started to be worked on again (2021)
This game was THE top game on here back then and compared to other games back then it was leaps and bounds ahead of them.
Not anymore as it's just an also ran. Its past history is what's keeping it going as such. It's gained an online notoriety and not one I'd want either, and that pulls people in.
Other Devs work on their games put out updates regularly, and inform their supporters of any work/issues etc but this one doesn't. Communication is not, and so it would seem never was, his forte.
Money, so it would appear was all that mattered to him. His numbers went up and down as supporters came and went but he kept a constant support of around 6-7K on Patreon. That's a tidy little earner each month.
Graphtreon claim it's about $7k pm and as minimum payment is $1-up to about $150 pm, or at least it used to be.
Choose your own number. All that moolah rolling in and for what?
He got loads of grief over it too back then and the work stopped. (Illness etc?) The game was put on HOLD on here and then listed as Abandoned, and that's when you started with the game, I bet?
He failed to update the game as he constantly promised that he would.
He didn't.
He put out a Christmas Special that had about the same game time that the update had, that was scheduled from June-July of that year. He then said it would be out in November (4-5 months later) It wasn't.
The amount of work done on the Special was equivalent to the game update. He spent all that time making the special instead of putting out the delayed update, all the while claiming that he was working on it (the update).
The game
IS the same one as it was around 5 years ago. Back then the game was V0.6d and was meant to go to V0.6e.
It didn't.
The game got updated about Feb the following year (V0.6e) That update was about 8 months late and was the much anticipated Linda/MC storyline at the beach.
He had to "remove" the parts that Patreon had issue with and if you use the mod that's available then you'll have everything that was in the game restored from 2017-18, before Patreon tore him a new one.
He had no option but to change the game, due to Patreon guidelines etc!
He was milking his supporters back then, and allegedly is still doing so now. But how is it scamming on here? A site where the game is FREE. No-one is being scammed/milked on here.
Have you seen my recent posts? You'll see info about his game and the graphs listing his numbers from the start (2015) for this version of his game. (Version 3)

Biggest drop is recent, but those figures will flatten out and then pick up, as per usual. Tie those numbers in to Steam and he's still coining it.
But it's still the same game. The Steam version is the "Patreon-edited version" (and available on here). Add the mod to it and you have the original game back, including all the naughty non Patreon stuff in it.
Patreon don't care. All they care about is the bottom line, as long as it conforms to their set of standards - and it does (now) then they're happy. Read the disclaimer that's in place when the Mod is added. He bears no responsibility for the modded version.
As far as they're concerned
