It does feel like that sometimes so I can understand your frustration, just don't beleive any date/deadline they provide and you'll be fine.
Neah, I'm good thanks

Captain, the irony detector on the Enterprise is broken. We'll need Scotty to repair it otherwise we'll be flying around in circles.

I do think I need a signature which states over 90% of what I say should be read in Chandler voice LOL
That reason isn't an excuse for lack of content and progression here though. It's not laziness, but it is incompetence. If you subscribe to a magazine but don't see any issues for close to a year, I'm sure you'd get mad if the writer responds with "well we just have so many projects going on right now". You're taking money for a project you're unable to complete at a reasonable pace. Those other projects are probably suffering as well. Calling this dev out on the slow updates is completely justified.

that don't apply since they are their own bosses and the reason for the long updates is that they all have games of their own that they are working on.

Their 1K2+ supporters are clearly OK with the situation, so who are you to tell ?
The only thing is their 500 patrons goal : " We will be able to get updates published far faster. "

No, they are not. Dev/team on patreon/subscribestar are accountable to those who give they money, they have multiple boss. They are giving money to a project, if i did it i should >expect< some result, that's only fair.

then you are doubly wrong since being a patreon doesn't mean you get to tell the dev what to do. It just means you support his project, period.
And yes, the reason for the long updates are because they have other projects as well, no matter what you want to make of it.

Then tell me, what do you expect when you support a project, hm? Nothing?
Well even if you are a supporter of the Dev, Patreon is more of a (continous-) donation kind of thing, so technically they don't HAVE to produce results in x amount of time. After all, you throwing money their way is simply because you feel like doing so, nothing else.
Obviously it would be preferable if they release faster, but if it doesn't happen, so be it ^^ That's life.

I've been playing this game and defending this game from the start. I defended it till the 2nd update came out because I believed in the developers. At this point I can't really defend them. They had tons of issues and personal problems to go through back when they were working on 2nd update. I used to be quite frequently active on the discord so I understood their problems.
I'll judge it accordingly after 4th update launches because I want to see if they'll figure out their problems by that time or not. I still want to believe in them. Good luck Devs. I love this game and I really want to play more of it.

I expect to get the product when the dev is ready to release it, i think it's very asinine to complain about release dates for a game in development.

Complaining on here will not result in anything with greater expediency.
They're not here anymore because of the general community being salty and self-entitled. Even the non-patrons/subscribers.
If you want your opinion to be heard, go bitch at them on their Discord. They're fairly active there.

To expand on previous answers, you've got the order wrong. A dev is saying what they want to do and ask for donations. You can then decide whether to support or not. If you wouldn't support this game due to the long updates that is perfectly fine, I wouldn't either (I have other reasons not to be a patreon of anybody or anything but will pay when options like "buymeacoffee" or the purchase on Steam or similar are available).
But the whole idea of Patreon, as you can see with their mission statement, is that an artist is not dependent on delivering a product quickly or have it to be successful. You do not order a product - in which case delivery is your given right - but are supporting the artist and the process of creating something. This is not an employment, nor is it even a classic deal "tit for tat". A patreon also isn't a customer. He is what the Greek called a maecenas (after a guy of this name), a sponsor, a donor. That is the deal of patreon as a whole, not just this team.
Of course that doesn't mean that artists are free to do whatever they want - if they promise something explicitely they have to reasonably try to deliver on said promise. But anything beyond that may be a reason to stop supporting but not a reason to feel wronged because you weren't.

Ok, seriously Carta, you are starting to make me feel like a troglodyte
