I supported this guy early on, but the teeny-tiny infrequent updates from a "developer" that receives 5k a month really aggravated me.
I love the concept, but come oooon version 0.4.8 after 2+ years at 5k a month - to me he is the personification of an utterly shameless milker and it baffles me that ppl continue to support the project...

I've said this before and I'll say it again, this is one of the dev's that pisses me off the most. I could literally do what he does in a month, in an hour. And I have extremely basic knowledge of java compared to him. It's pathetic. No visuals, just plain text... *sigh*
Well no... You wouldn't do it in an hour. Nor in a day. In a week, now that I can see happening. He is doing it too slow, I completely agree, but it's silly to say that anybody could do in an hour what he does in a month. Scenes in Newlife aren't just couple of blocks of text that you show after clicking enter. They are dynamic, taking account of player character's stats, NPC stats, the choices the player takes etc. Building and testing these kinds of things takes time, time and time, even for a scene that looks pretty simple for the player. Development has also all kinds of other things that take surprisingly long amounts of times. For example, trying to repeat a rare bug that someone has spotted can take hours, even before you can actually start trying to fix it and test the fix. Fuck, even just uploading a new version and writing a Patreon post for it can easily take an hour of your time, because anything you do ends up public and can therefore annoy people if you do it wrong.
Now I know you didn't literally mean an hour when you said it. I just get a little irritated when people don't understand or appreciate how many hours it actually takes to deliver even simple looking stuff.

Not true, but whatever. The dynamic part is extremely easy to build after you have worked with similar things, building isn't a problem at all and testing is quite easy since all you have to do is change the random variables to higher values. And yes I did mean an hour, I've done far more complex games than these in java that even included variables, random world generators, random buildings, random maps, etc and I know how much time it takes. Except what I did was the minimum to pass, what he does which is far more easier is the minimum for 4k$.
This guy is obviously a milker but the phrase that comes to mind when reading a reply like that is "talk is cheap".

Thanks for sharing. While I have spent many hours playing this game at the earlier stages, the last few updates were so meager that I too did not play the game. I'll wait for more content before I start a new life (pun unintended) in this game.
