They didn’t ’take the money for’. You are choosing to give money to support an artist. You aren’t commissioning them, you aren’t a client, you’re a supporter, there’s a difference.
You don’t want to believe, that’s fine. But I’m going off the fact they’ve never outright canceled a project. The scripts are there, the models just have to be moved over to UE4.
It’s great ya dug up wips of projects I didn’t recall. Never mind that that it’s been more than 5 years since they were off Patreon, so even my mind can miss some things. Still you’re hankering them over their asking price when they’re more experienced now, as though you’re asking for the old movies at minimum wage hours. While at the same time ya have folks like Nyl, who despite his quality, is pulling around 30k monthly and hasn’t produced a longer project for several months.
It’s like FOW asked you for 100 bucks for a game and you went, nah I prefer the 50 dollar artist with the 50 dollar season pass for content not coming for a long time.
On an another note, their Fansly page has a Tifa wip in it. Which is curious considering they haven’t even gotten the funding for it yet.
