I don't reply much but these games/stories do take time to create. As for the money he is collecting for long wait between updates - that's on the contributors. I will pay for a good product but I also have pulled my contributions to a few for exceptionally long wait times and after paying for 20 month or so on one, they made us contributors go to steam and buy it after we have been supporting them from the beginning. I thought that was bleeding us.
Anyway, it's an interesting story that might blow up in MC face the direction I'm going. (I hope it doesn't) I really hope that he continues the story and doesn't abandon it.
