Not enough shitposts filling the thread and artificially increasing the page count? :test3:
But yeah this game is one of the better ones we have here.

Because this time it takes the dev more time to release the next build than it has in the past. Most people who claim it's abandoned are either impatient or stupid.

While it's true that figuring out what to search for requires a willingness to venture beyond one's understanding, in the scenario you shared you did know which part to search for - that's why the response was a slightly condescending phrasing of where to search for it. It's the bane of every forum since the dawn of the era, but fortunately this one doesn't have so many users yet that helpful souls would stop trying to point newbies at the search (or indeed do so without considering the pleas).
TL;DR: You were wrong, he was a dick, but everyone is receptive and the system works!

from September 26thPandelo said:Hello everyone,
I'm sorry for my absence in the last weeks and for the delay of the next version.
I still have to create some scenes and images/animations to render. So unfortunately I'm not be able to finish the next update this month. I'm really sorry for that!
I also can't give you an exact release date yet. I'll announce the exact date shortly before release.
I had (and still have) to work overtime almost every day in the last weeks and unfortunately not that much time to work on the renderings during weekdays. In the next month, things will hopefully get back to normal.
(Just who are curious, I'm working at a very small metal-working family business (CNC programming. Not my family btw) and I'm the only employee they have, beside my boss and his son. I'm really close to them, so that's also why I'm still hesitate to quit my job.)
As always, you only have to pledge one time for each update. If you were planning to cancel/pause your pledge at the end of this month:
Every $5+ Patron from this month (September) will get the new update per PM! (also $15+ July Patrons will get the walkthrough!) Also every $1 Patron from September will get the new v0.12 update 2 weeks after release per PM!
(Unfortunately, Patreon gives no option to choose "charge patrons per update" after a creator had choose "charge per month"...)

Once again a big thank you to all my patrons who are supporting me and for all the nice words and messages!
If you have any questions, suggestions or only want to say hello, feel free to send me a pm or write a comment

I'm guessing you're thinking of Parental Love. In a word, no.

Until this recent spell he's been pretty consistent. Life has been keeping him busy. Understandable. Hope he updates his patreons on the progression of the next update. Would hate to see this game die.
With a thousand patrons, yeah you'd hope he's at least communicating something.
It's ok for a developer to need a break. When you're burned out you don't do your best work. Take a week off, rejuvenate, come back fresh. Fans will understand that. Just don't go silent.
Right now I'd club a baby seal on live TV for that kind of support.

Well, in this case, it's not so much a "break" as he has had the good old "real life" take precedent. But, before this update, he's been real good at both regular releases and communication.
He's still putting out random renders, he's just not been as talky.

I'm not picking on anyone or trying to sound like a dick. Tone is impossible to convey sometimes and I am only speaking personally.
But for me, my job is my precedent because without it I have no income and no other life so to speak of. When my grandfather died, I took two days off to mourn and then my ass had to get back to work because the bills don't stop coming in.
If the day ever comes I'm making games full time, then that's my job. Making games is part of my "real life" because it's what I have to do it to keep the income coming. My patrons are paying me to work, and I owe them work. Sure I'll take the occasional week off for vacation or a day off to take care of family stuff. But ultimately, my ass better be back at this desk on Monday cranking out a game because that is what patrons are paying me to do.
Again, not criticizing this Dev, that is just my perspective.
To which I'd add, if I ever did need to take a month or two off, I'd suspend my patreon campaign temporarily because it wouldn't be right me taking $4k from people each month and not doing anything to earn it.
Again, not attacking this dev because I don't know his/her situation, etc. Just speaking for myself.

I wasn't chastising, just trying to give you more color on his situation. He's been a very reliable dev, open and productive and has produced a fine game.
There is a general tendency in all things for people to become conditioned to expectations. When deviations occur, not everyone is able to exhibit patience or perspective. The solid performance of this dev all along merits both.

Maybe this will help you to understand what happen

Ah. See now to me that is perfectly reasonable. If making this game isn't his full time job (a situation I can totally relate to), then yeah, he does what he can when he can. And he clearly communicated this to his patrons, so I'd say he's on the up and up.
Not that I was ever criticizing him in the first place.
