I believe I was right about my theory of health issues, a mountain of writing and him stating that writing wouldn't cause a delay lead to this. WWG absolutely knew the game wasn't going to be finished months ago if not the beginning of the year, yet he strung everyone along with vague status updates 1 month if not 2 months apart.

If WWG wasn't in the wrong here he wouldn't have disabled the comments on his latest status. That's only done for one reason. Turning off billing now doesn't erase the months prior. We have no evidence that the game was being worked on this year other than his word. That's simply not good enough(for me at least)

I gave WWG the benefit of the doubt based on his prior record but he's shown that I was wrong. His credibility has gone from the highest to amongst the lowest imo.

It’s not abandoned. This website tags games as abandoned as a rule, not because the games were officially abandoned. The dev says it’s still coming, it’s just delayed.
another delay??? so its not coming by the end of this month???

I posted his status update a few pages back. Long story short.
He’s been too sick to work on the game and he is pausing billing until the game releases.
Isn't it crazy how many devs have health problems? I have about 12 memberships on Patreon and subscribestar and one of the devs that I have a membership with posted that he was frustrated that he didn't get enough done for the next update, poor guy working like 18 hours a day between his real job and working on the game, most of us that responded told him to chill out and not kill himself working the long hours, so what if the game is delayed month or a couple of monyhs, if the dev works himself to death then that's not good either, maybe that's what happened to this dev?

I don't usually comment much, but my god, how many people like to pat lazy developers on the head? This guy has been stalling for years for a release. I supported him in the beginning until the release of Chapter 11, then it became a joke. I noticed that this guy was making fools of all his sponsors. I understand that he released several things, a lot of content. I understand that, but look at what he's doing to this day. Someone here even commented what I think: being an adult game developer is the most dangerous profession in the world. Holy shit, how many developers get sick every time they're approaching a final or a very important release? I wonder if when you become an adult game developer throughout your career you get cancer? Multiple sclerosis, lupus, fibromyalgia, it's always the same lame excuse and there are people who believe this shit just because he said he's going to pause donations, as he's done before and hasn't even stopped. It's not because this bastard is feeding you photos and information that you have to thank him like a bitch. The name of the site already says "Patreon." Without you, this guy would be nothing and wouldn't earn anything. Give more value to your money and to developers who really deserve it. In the beginning, he was a really dedicated person, always updating monthly, then it became bimonthly, then quarterly, but look how it is now. This fucking update should already be ready, but he wants to delay it more because he knows he's going to lose a lot of high-tier sponsors. It could be a thought; until he starts his next game, it won't be fast. Let's think about it another way: if he's so screwed, he could release a "part 1" and then a "part 2," explaining what he's going through and how, unfortunately, he couldn't finish everything at once. But he'll release part 1 first, and then, when he has more time and is "in better health," he'll release part 2. That would be a responsibility to his supporters, not just releasing images and making excuses. That would at least give him a good image. So, think about whether this guy doesn't even do that. Either he still doesn't have even half of what he promised, or this shitty update is already finished and he just wants to get a little more so he can sit idle for a while before releasing his new game. I see a lot of people here trying to make excuses for this guy, trying to convince other people just to, I don't know, try to make excuses for himself, but reality won't change. "DARKCOOKIE" is proof of that. I know that many will not like my opinion and I understand that, just don't come and insult me for trying to open your eyes about a truth that will not change, this guy will only release an update after he gets the necessary money that he wants or is saving or I don't know for what. I know that there are people here who support him just like I supported him once, don't get mad about it, okay

Because I'm a former Patron genius, I've only said it a hundred times lol. I invested in the game because the games good, then I stopped when WWG started delaying and talking shit to everyone on this site before he deleted his profile (you weren't here simping yet for that). I have a monetary investment in this game so yeah I'll finish it. I'll also call out WWG for what he is.

Trust me he'll "forget" to pause his Patreon billing one of these months, and once he's called out he'll ask for refunds knowing everyone won't submit it. That's why he's already ahead of the game and telling everyone "oh no dumb patreon is making me remember to pause billing each month". Book it.

See you next delay little guy. ;)
Please ease up on talking about that strat too much. As that'll be my go-to as I stated in my previous post , when I finish my game. It'll be... hmm... I suppose you'll be able to say it'll be my calling card as an Adult Games Dev once I make my glorious transfer from commerical gaming titles, to F95 palm destroyers. And you guys won't be able to get mad at me to be fair since I have already warned you up-front about my long play plan. Think of it as IRL Financial Cuckolding :cool: :WeSmart:

You'll be able to enjoy it, and pass your game save legacy onto your kids when they're adults. Because I won't plan on finishing any of my games once I start, until at least one cycle of the next generation has went all the way from Kindergarten to College, that way you can give them your USB of your saved game as their graduation present. And be sure to tell them not to worry, because I'll still refrain from completing the game until they at least begin to start a family of their own. Generational wealth, that's what that means, right?

Stress can cause physical as well as mental illnesses, so I am not entirely surprised.
Of couse WWG might could have seen that happening earlier, but we cannot look into his head, so I give him the benefit of doubt. And actually that's his patreons' problem and not mine. I just wish him the very best to get well soon again.

when I post the "Health CARD" i was already predicting it together with the ongoing on a trip on an airplane
:BootyTime: sound similar to a Lone Dev and also Highly respected and forgotten by some :BootyTime: but the different was he only has a little patrons compair to this one that has 1k+ but that guy stop because its either no ones paying attention to his game and 2 maybe he just got a much bigger offer and stop .. but this one I don't know wither if I have that kind of patrons I rather finish it half way if I don't have the ending finish because its better to stop wasting the patrons money that they have fully trust if I were the dev.. :BootyTime: and to be in fact for those who pledge are the investors the Dev is just the company it self if he wants to continue running his own company without lossing investors he should at least have a valid reason even if he was pause Billing to be honest when the dev got the delay he should at least say in advance if he was going in haitus that should be the valid reason before it got to the point to whats going on now.

The problem is that he's the one who made this whole show, everyone is just waiting for an End, but a guy who is as screwed as he says he is, promises a million things and then keeps making excuses, it's what I said either he already has the game finished or he doesn't have even half of what he promised, he didn't need to promise what he promised, he could release an ending and then do some "what if" episodes like he did before, ready solved the problem, there were times when he released a chapter and in the same month if I'm not mistaken which was at the beginning he released a "what if" chapter, ready finished, but a guy who says he is "weakened" I don't know because of stress, lack of creativity, or the excuse that any other developer nowadays, I know this happens, I know it's stressful, I understand all of that, but a guy who keeps delaying and pretending he's not well, keeping promising a million things, why is that? "Ahh, but he wants to give a worthy end to his work" but he is not in a position to do so, there is no need to promise things if you are not going to be able to fulfill them like a corrupt politician, we will all understand if he releases a short chapter and over time releasing some alternative endings when he is well, ready without stress without problems, but everyone knows the reality, only others who pretend not to know, he could have said that in the middle of the month saying that it was not getting better and that he would not be able to do it, but no, he says now that the release was close, making everyone wait like idiots. I know I just keep writing huge texts, sorry if you don't like it

Who says the other updates didn't take a year to release? i never said that. I agree that the last update also took a year to release because that's a fact.

The part you're not understanding is that games take time to develop. That last update took a year to make, because it was the biggest update to be released. If you followed this thread, you know this age old argument that every update is bigger then the one before it and that takes time to make.

The difference between last update and this one is, last update wasn't delayed, it just took 1 year to make. You think games can be released monthly or something? those monthly release games take minutes to complete the playthrough of the update, but PV takes a few hours on the later updates because of how big they get.
That's major bullshit. Even for a single developer, a fucking whole year of development should bring an update that gets HOURS to play. Which, IS NOT the updates you get with this creator. Maybe it's a you thing, because you maybe need 1 minute to read each phrase?
