Why does there always have to be this guy?
Yes, he got to a 1.0 release a year ago, but unlike other devs, he actually releases about an update a month, and the update this month was a big scene.
The dev and players liked the game, so he keeps releasing more updates as part of a larger expansion pack. This is while he is also doing releases on another game (Let Me Out), while he is also learning Renpy for the next game that he is also working on in the series. All of which go to his Patreons first, not to mention his active Discord server where he directly interacts with his Paterons and fans.
I mean, Christ. There are so many more worthy targets of "dragging out dev for the Patreon dollars" than BBBen, who has been doing games for over a decade. If you don't like it, don't support his Patreon, and you can get the updates for free legitimately when he releases them to the public a month later than the Patreons get them.
