In fairness every deadbeat dev uses the 'sick and dying relative' excuse. Or the 'I'm in the hospital' excuse.

Don't get me wrong. I do believe THIS one is genuine. This dev was pretty reliable and consistant and I don't think a reliable dev bails out in the 11th hour if the tragedy ain't legit.

I just understand why some people would be skeptical.
At the end of the day, Pandelo doesn't owe players anything. He's pausing his Patreon every month. Some people might be skeptical? Who cares...

Thats why many others dont pay for those game and instead pirate them . Imagine paying for 1 year , monthly 20 usd and then the game goes abandoned. Never again will i pay for unfinished games , let the devs who struggle be rewarded and the ones who abandone get NOTHING.
90% of the AAA games/if not even 99%/ are not finished on release.And that is intentional.That doesn't stop millions of people to buy them.

Yep, as long as he keeps pausing he can keep his silence until things get worked out. I mean the dead silence is admittedly frustrating, but I am not getting charged, so it's ok. But, if the payments stop getting paused, then he owes us an explanation, especially if there is still dead silence. Because regardless how someone spins it (i.e.-donation, support, etc.), we are a consumer paying for his service.

The unfortunate thing is that there are people who do this. I remember in college there were several people who lied about one of their family members either getting sick or worse dying just to get more time on an assignment or to move the date of a test, because they did not prepare enough for it. I remember one girl in particular had all 4 of her grandparents die in one semester, each one when we were about to take a test or when a big paper was due, which was very convenient for her. All I am saying is that either her family suffered some horrible tragedies that semester or she was lying through her teeth. I am going to lean towards the latter. What is real unfortunate is that it actually worked and she got extra time each one "died". So, I completely understand the skepticism when a dev says this, mind you not this one in particular. I do actually believe Pandelo had a true family tragedy, which I hate and I wish him and his family all the best.

Solid game, enjoyed what there is of it after being recommended it by a friend. Will definitely support the dev if he comes back to finish it.

Funny, I'm actually getting closer and closer to that milestone, it's been almost 23 years the last time I was ill, haha, but I'm sure that one day when I do get ill again, I get real ill, all 23 years worth if unlucky :p

I mean lying about family members dying to get out of going to college is abit different to lying about the same thing but when its your career/only way to bring money in.
