There's no inconsistency. You were told six fucking months ago, FROM THE START, what the window was. I shouldn't have to remind you of it every time I want to reference shit! Shit happens. If you don't like it, don't follow game development.
And you're not a customer. You're a patron. Learn the difference and adjust if need be.
Just go back to page 528 of this hread ..
Gunsmoke Games account stated on the 28th of may :
"We have an update coming out in 3 days. Let's swap focus to that please?"
Or we take the 2.2.2 release with, let me quote
"It was really important to us to get this update out on time and break the delay cycle, and decisions were made from the very beginning to that effect."
Or we take the Patreon Post "Cruisin' Right Along - Roadmap to 2.2.4
"The truth is, had we not started revamping the dev process in 2.1.9 and development still operated the old way, 2.2.0 would’ve quite possibly had to be cancelled entirely – or at the very least been much worse.
While from your perspective it may have seemed like things were dire, from ours it was more proof that we were moving in the right direction with the new process. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong, multiple times, and we only wound up a week late."
Then you go the last release, when was the bug free version with the content , on the 18th?
Alas the "game" has been around longer than the roadmaps and has an established "tradition" of not following schedules... and m any don't rust the team o deliver according to their own statements.
and as for the customer or patron.... it is still an exchange of money for "product" then agisan if we talk customers, and you got delays, would they have to sent back part of the donations if their own schdeules were not kept ....^^
