If there's one thing I hate, it's a lack of commitment to deadlines, if the dev is always going to postpone the release date, it's better not to say any date and announce the release when it's really ready, damn it.

I feel the exact same way.

Right now, I am perusing a book on Python game programing & a Ren'py guide. :coffee:

I've got some superhero / Sci Fi ideas I'm knocking around. :alien:

Anyhow, this stuff is much harder than it looks. :HideThePain: I'd rather wait & play a solid enjoyable game than slog though a frustrating mess. :WeSmart:

The delay isn't what bothers me. I'd also rather the game be in the best shape when the update drops. I would rather just not be given multiple deadlines that can't be upheld.

I want the game to continue as well.

The devs are in between a rock & a hard place; No Mention of Deadlines = Appearance of an Abandoned game.

I grateful that they're letting us know something is coming. If delays happen, they happen. Game design is hard.

The alternative is pretty much screwing over patrons and subscribestars.
Well it's certainly good to know that of the 3 sources of your income I chose to be with the ones who get screwed instead. Triple A experience: Indie edition where I buy a game only to find out that I can't play it because it's so loaded with bloatware and needs separate launchers and kernel level access that I just delete it and pirate it. This will be the same as there is no point in keeping 2 versions of the same game. I don't regret purchasing it as it's my way of supporting you, but I'm rejoining the pirate ranks.

How are you being screwed?
You just have to wait.

The versions that go through the tiers (people who are regularly paying monthlt to support us), have to go through numerous hotfixes which our supporters find. Steam is a one time payment and the version that lands on Steam is more polished.

You get the exact same content... Less buggy.

You know what isn't hard?
TO NOT GIVE ANY DEADLINES.
IF THE DEV CAN'T EVEN KEEP HIS OWN DEADLINE WHAT KIND OF IMAGE DOES THAT PASS? True is this industry is full of scammers who make a good game and then just milk their audience on and on (ex: Lilith's throne) to the point where people distrust devs that give themselves Their own deadline and than can't even follow it.
