At this point, with all the shit going on in the world, I'm just hoping something didn't happen to the developer.

NVM, they're posting regularly on their discord.

Putting myself into the shoes of his patrons, this is pretty hard to read.
Judging by the comments in his last update, a lot of his patrons are frustrated and looking for an explanation for the delays and radio-silence. This update, posted on the 11th hour again, seems to suggest the cause of these delays are bad work ethic. No screen-caps, proof of work or anything. When your friends have to force you to do a stream in order to prove you're working, somethings off.
I'm not gonna attack this dude; I'm sure this is hard work. But when 450 people are paying you roughly $4000 a month, you need to be transparent and avoid making promises you can't keep. Maybe pitch 25 buck over to one of his friends to help him make one or two posts on what he's doing so patrons can feel engaged and don't feel used.
The streams actually slow his work to be fair, but they help him keep in touch with his patrons so it is worth it just for that. I'm not going to say much more then that since I don't feel it is my place to do so, but I haven't been disappointed yet, even if it takes him longer than he expected.
So don't worry about it.

Realistically, the streams are a few hours once a week though, right? And they're working on the game during that time.
I just thought it strange how they kept giving patrons the impression that they were close to releasing the new update. It's a bit of a red flag in my eyes when considering patrons are charged on the 1st of each month and each update seemed to be promising something will be released just after the renewal date.
August 31: They gave patrons the download links in anticipation of an early September release, saying they're optimistic they'll "finish it up by tomorrow, or it takes a few more days than that."
September 30: They said they'd have it out by midnight in their update.
October 31: they give an update saying it'll be out some time in November.
That three month span represents roughly $12,000. That's what I was trying to get at about taking transparency and frequent updates seriously.

"Help him keep in touch with his patrons"
The guy just ghosted his Patreon account for a full month, and slowing his work should not be an option when he's two full months late.

I'm so tired bros... I just want my horse pussy...
You do have a point there, Levy is having trouble getting this update out indeed, mostly because he keeps finding systems he has to update/rebuild to make the new stuff work right. But he himself acknowledges that this is a problem and that he doesn't want to delay the update.
Which is why I don't get the transparency complaint though, he usually does update regularly, and always lets us know when an update has gone pear-shaped on him. Which is exactly what happened, he thought he could get the update out, but found something he had to fix and it snowballed from there.
The bottom line is, he is going to get this update out, just not when he expected or wanted to.
So again, don't worry about it.
I'm not worried about an MLP porn game. I'm just observing this.
He lost +30 subscribers this month and roughly $400 in monthly funding. I enjoy this game and his work, so I obviously didn't want to see this happen, but it was without a doubt avoidable.
There is actually. Someone gave us access to version 37 earlier in the thread, but the thread's still on v36.
