Damn, this is so unfair... I usually let people complain without interfering because I know the feeling of waiting for something you like. But when we say that I'm working my ass off, it's true.
Just so you know how it is : I went to bed at 2am because I couldn't keep my eyes open in front of Daz anymore. I woke up at 6 to start making renders before going to work. We are doing what needs to be done so we can release before the end of the month as promised (and we will btw). I know that is not your concern but please don't say "less the activity" when we barely sleep. Everyday life caused the delay for each member of the team (for me, being away from home for my day job at least 3 weeks each month since September).
We know that it's been too long and that's why we're working on it endlessly to release Act8 as soon as possible (aka by the end of this month). The rest of the team is already working on the next act so it won't be 6 months of waiting again.
You can't satisfy everyone mate. Greater people have tried and fail. There are People that nitpick on Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi what chance do normal people have.
There are always gonna be differences amoung people.
He stated his stance, you don't have to clarify anything here (it's a freestuff site).
If your patron said this in Patreon you should elaborate there and I'm sure they would understand.
(I maybe wrong here) But I think that last few comments hit a nerve and I get it, there are way worse Dev that do way worse behaviour in Visual Novel scene and still have so many paterons.
It is unfair. Don't stress out yourself just because someone has too higher expectation from you.
I have learned it hard way, no matter how hard you work, people who are not satisfied are never satisfied.
Just stick to what you your doing, ignore the white noise.
I hope this helps you, it's not much of a support but it is what I can do.
