Yeah. But that won't stop the corpse from harvesting more cash....

I legit don't understand paying someone monthly for nothing palpable. Patreon shouldn't even charge people on months where nothing substantial is posted. And at the very least you need to be really dumb to keep paying a sub instead of just canceling until a new update is posted. The only reason to pay every month is if updates are at the very least monthly.

My current assumption is that most patreons subscribe once and then forget about it, because a few bucks in the single digits isn't that much of a deal if you earn four digits.

Probably, yes. And that's why we have situations where games are just abandoned. I'm willing to bet games like MGI wouldn't have ended the way they did if instead of ending up with a ton of money for little to no effort, the profits would have tapered off after reaching a certain level, slowed down if the author didn't post anything for a month.
I didn't pay a cent, so I can't complain as much as someone who actually invested hoping for a good game, but I think these are examples where "why do you care what others do with their money" doesn't float. Because some people just don't care and pay the devs for nothing, more people get robbed of a potentially good game. Everyone except the devs, or arguably even the dev, loses.

Originaly it was likely a good idea to give underpaid artists more way opportunities. If 1000 people donate one measily dollar, there is already a solid income that doesn't hurt any of the donaters. But that got exploited immediatly. Other aspects are instant gratification and consumer mentality of more and more less productive and less independent people, who don't save money and don't keep book. Donating on Patreon or live on twitch tricks them into feeling powerful, since they contribute to their "friends" when its entirely onesided parasocial. I see some parallels with simp culture (believing payment will give positive results), though it also includes non horny people who mindlessly donate money on let's players or (nonporn) streamers beyond the occasional small tip.
I didn't ever blamed a developer for that: They see a crowd willing to be exploited, so they do it. At fault are the customers who allow this and are willing to play along.
In short: The standards went down. Please, get higher standards.
depends on how much his rent cost ^_- in cali that would not even get a 1 bedroom studio apartment ^_-

Meh, still unclear of the progress.
Almost 4 years and chapter 2 isn't even finished, yet. And its not even a long game.
I call bullshit. (on the Dev, not you Gicoo)
Supposedly chap2 was near completion anyway, and even if the funds were frozen, he could have stopped payment or offered updates before now. What did he do for all these past months anyway? Sure the artists couldn't work, but surely HE could have been coding/writing/planning the next release.
My prediction, SOMEHOW the work will have been lost, and he estimates another six months of blah blah blah to get Chapter 2 out (which will releases as a buggy, unfinished, broken mess ala "Chapter 1.5" his last release.
Too bad, since the game had such potential. There are not many games like that with the specific premise of "cucking your girlfriend with your friends", but yeah...

long short story,patreon got fucked and they didnt had money coming for the last couple months untill recently patreon fixed the issue
currently progress is at 85% in most characters,with a couple at 70% and only 1 at 50%
so update likely in next 4 months

Pretty sure they're working on it. Patreon apparently wouldn't release funds so they couldn't pay their artists, but that's now been resolved. If you pop over to their Patreon you can also see them adding music themes into the game. Admittedly, I have not followed the development too closely but that's the jist of what I got out of it. With what armentho said above, hopefully everyone will see an update drop sooner rather than later. Anyway cheers y'all, be safe, and here's to a quick turnaround for the devs!
