Hi guys. Here's what the dev said.

Let me make a premise: I don't want to use DRM to protect my work from those who continue to publish the game on f95 the same day that I release an update.
I apologize to any patreon members who feel cheated of their privileges. I am truly saddened by this continued lack of respect towards you and my work.
I'm really getting tired of that. In addition to the fact that the number of new patreons not growing for a few months now, are actually decreasing.
I don't ask that the game never be published on f95, I just want you to wait at least 10 days to do so. I don't think it's such an impossible request. But above all, by waiting this short time, you would allow me to grow.
So I inform you that either the situation changes and my request to wait at least 10 days before publishing the game on f95 in the next two months will be respected, or I will be forced to use DRM to protect my work.
Sorry for the outburst.

It's normal for the dev to react in this way, I myself recommended waiting 10 days, it's the minimum to do for those who play for free.
I think that, perhaps, trying to improve the project (graphic art, sounds, music and slightly longer content) during the course of the updates could have increased the budget and, perhaps also, greater communication in the appropriate channels.
I understand that the dev aspires to more funding, he deserves it, however, the over 400 supporters (between Patreon and Subscribestar), in my opinion, is not a goal to be underestimated.
It has happened with many other good projects that they remained in financial stasis for several months and then took off beyond all expectations and I hope that this is one of those and that many here have learned the lesson.
Probly had Arnold’s cream pie leaking out anyway
