After reading through your post I can completely agree that it is taking an impossibly long time to finish, but to my knowledge and from what I have seen, Fek has been working on this project entirely by himself. Now sorry if i'm getting this wrong I really don't know much about game development, but I would think that making 3d models and bug fixing for a game like Rack 2, where almost the whole game is able to be customized in some way whether it be characters, the lab itself, subjects, or even the layout of the chambers would be incredibly difficult for even a group of 5 people working on a game. If what he said on the website is true and he really did work alone on the whole game, it is obvious that the game would have a lot of bugs and be taking a long time to make. With almost every release we see new bugs introduced and old ones fixed, so he does care at least to fix them when he notices them or when people bring it to his attention. You make a good point that a Trello link means nothing, but looking at past builds we can see most of the things he had posted on Trello have been completed and put in the game like it says they should be in the link the other user provided.Yeah, he can post anything he wants on Trello, and that won't make it true. Look, even if Fek were actually working really really really hard, and those latest updates were true.... this game is FAR from being finished and released, so..... consider that the project began in 2016, we are already finishing 2018. Has Rack 2 reached at least Beta status? In addition, every single build he's released has been full of glitches he didn't even care to fix. So if your counterargument is just a mere Trello link, check the facts beforehand so we can have a proper discussion. Even though there's nothing to argue about , Fek is just being lazy , that's a shared opinion by many of us.
Now.... am I going to be an irrational, obnoxious person and insult him? Or just disacknowledge his work till now? Of course not, as I stated before, I believe this game has great potential and even these early builds are better than many other already finished furry xxx games. The problem? Fek isn't doing this as a hobby, but he's being paid to develop Rack 2, and by a big group of funders. So yes, concluding, I think Rack 2, should be more advanced that it is.
The last thing you say is that he is being paid to develop Rack 2 and he should work on making it more "advanced than it is", but it is already leagues above many of the games that have been funded through Patreon and other websites, and is being funded by people who want to see it completed. They may be paying for something that wont come out for quite some time, but to say Fek is being "lazy" with the game's recent updates is not true. You say the Trello updates mean nothing, then what about the things we CAN see him doing. If you go to his Patreon he gives status updates commonly. Though you may say these updates mean nothing and he could be just saying anything, the released builds again prove that he is constantly trying to improve the game to the best of his abilities.
This whole post doesn't mean I don't agree that the game is taking a long time to make, and I mean no disrespect towards you or what you believe, but I think you should at least think about what he would have to be going through working on a game as detailed and advanced as Rack 2 with little to no help, while also having to give updates to keep people's curiosity peaked as he works on a game that is still in early development stages. You asking him to make it more advanced is asking him to develop the chemical system further, better models and more choices for them, and adding more lab equipment. These are all things he was probably going to do any way, that you are asking him to develop now since he isn't making the game as a hobby and he is making it more as a job, even though all of his games would qualify as jobs under that reasoning, and Rack 2 is not the only reason he is being funded. Sorry for the short essay :/
