True, but he still works on the project now not asking for more money as he said he earned enough to finish it already. He didn't just vanish like so many others. Don't mind it taking a few more years as long as it will be done eventually.
You cannot seriously be fucking defending him right now. (Wall of text incoming)
tl;dr - Taking too long in a project that isn't even that grand in scale will either make people lose interest or make him lose interest outside of money, game has taken WAY too long for what it is and there's barely any content update to justify the wait times while he's failing to please long-timers whether they want a game or just wanna nut. There's more stuff on him that I posted several pages ago but I'm way too lazy to look for it.
Yeah working on the project is fine and all but how are we certain he's not gonna take so damn long that either everyone will have moved on by then or, more likely, he 'lacks motivation' and decides to drop the project 'temporarily'? He's not working on some masterpiece of a game, he's not working on Monsterpunk 2077 and he's not working on some deep and well thought out system. He made good progress before but then turned so incredibly slow while breaking multiple deadlines that it's just a matter of going downhill at that point. The game's basically 'living on an island with some girls to smash' with simple hunting system at most and not some shit with Revengeance combat or balls to the wall story or some shit.
The original post on this thread was made all the way back in *2016* with the first comment on the itch.io being 2015*, and there's so much stuff that he has yet to add, with a decent chunk of characters having either outdated scenes or lack of any new scenes. Hell the only character I can think of that has more than one scene is the Shark girl. It's simply too much time with too little stuff added with too many promises/deadlines broken with content that already can be put in the game even as a simple WIP but decides not to.
We don't even have a proper scene with the catgirl or the fox twins, who are one of the first characters created with their scenes being outdated demos. If he's trying to please people who want a game then he's taking too long on the deadlines and failing and if he just wants to please the people trying to bust a nut (which is gonna be the majority obviously) then he barely adds h-content whether it's part of a chapter update or a simple individual build/demo.
Would I like the game to be finished? Absolutely, I'm a sucker for MGs. Am I expecting this game to be finished? After past experiences with him including my posts getting deleted, I'm not. Valve's gonna count to three before the Steam release even gets an update, let alone the whole game being finished.
EDIT: itch.io comment was 2015, not 2016. Missed that typo, my bad.
