I guess I am being a little too vague or people are just too cynical, but don't Indie devs on patreon tend to do status updates or progress updates on what they are doing with their games?The fuck? That's not how video game development works at fucking all.
Kincaid does that and then there's the Space Girl games don't remember the exact name. Mystic Knight Maya also does that.
What I meant is it is up to the people who support the devs on patreon to ensure that they are actually supporting a dev that keep their promises, or supporting a dev that works on the game.
I wasn't talking about game development though, what makes you think that?
