This pisses me off not because I'm unempathetic or not comprehending where he's coming from but bc it implies both parties have equal understandings of what caused 'this' when in reality only he knows the details we just get the result.

No, it doesn't imply that.
We're disappointed (to varying degrees) by the delay, and he's disappointed too. The disappointment of both is not contingent upon both knowing why the delay has happened.

Yes I'm being dramatic. No that doesn't make me wrong/less of an overall fan.

It doesn't make you less of a fan, but it doesn't make you correct.

Caribdis releases updates every 6-8 months, although if we assume that with each update it becomes longer and quality it tries to develop until the end of progress in a maximum of 10 months.
MoonBox releases an update every 2 weeks or monthly.
There are a couple more developers who know how to release updates on the promised date or month...

Although I still hope WWG had their own reasons to do so. you understand that developers are also people like us and they also have personal lives and problems. recently <No more money> was going pretty well and the developer always gave a development report and released updates and suddenly something personal happened and suspended the game, alas...
so we wait patiently and give time to WWG

I think dimajio/sad pepper deserves a shoutout here. Yes, they're genre of game isn't to everyones taste, but they are very consistent with updates, usually every 1-3 months

Those still clinging onto april fools copium, might wanna start to brace themselves for dissapointment. Upon more reflection, i can understand peoples anger, as he did say "working non-stop on the update" at the start of march, and then says how development has significantly slowed. I feel like i'll give my support for April, but if there's no solid info on whats happening, i may sadly pull support. 15 months without an update is a long time, and i'm sure it will be epic when it finally comes out, but basically paying for "slower pace" progession, not even any wallpaper voting now etc. I hope their troubles get sorted quickly as i am still giving them the benefit of the doubt.

So, this is the most high quality animations in any game I've seen, with few exceptions. *Broken Dreamers, maybe?* Anyway, the fact that it's a sandbox sucked, and the fact that the sex didn't really start coming (LOL) until around chapter 6, also was not great. However, once it started, it has all been excellent and numerous. I love his premise, I love the scenes, I love all the characters, I love most of the writing, the Love Interests are all great too (Catherine best waifu!). Long story short, he can take however long he wants, as far as I'm concerned and he will deliver. Maybe some of the story elements won't be the greatest, or whatever, but the sex will be amazing, and I think his next game is not even supposed to be sandbox (thank god!). So, he has my full support, I'll be patient, and enjoy whatever he produces. I know this sounds like a review, but I wanted to get all that out of the way to explain why I would support this dev. Delays are frustrating, but they are worth it in the end!

I haven't read any new status updates but I don't understand why more devs don't simply communicate more.
You spend hundreds of hours working on the game. What's fifteen minutes typing up a "I got this and this done, but this other thing is taken longer than I thought because of this reason" ?
Some devs seem more okay to burn goodwill and erode fan trust than just, y'know, talk to the people paying them.

Am i the only one who pledge when the update is out, and then unpledge as soon as I have downloaded and played the game? Everyone should do it and the devs would stop milking. Not saying this dev does it, but it was very weird he got from almost done to that he needs 2-3 months more.

Well if everyone only pledged when the game came out, then it would probably never come out, because the dev wouldn't be able to work on it without continuous income.

So after he posted the "notice" of the delayed update, did he respond to anything, or said nothing at all.
