Did he give any reason why he stopped developing his game ? The last time I read this thread few people here swore absolute sacred faith to him and how the dev is back with insatiable passion after the patron changes and he's working with insurmountable focus
Those were the discord cheerleaders. They told us that a build that got released had a virus, even after it was shown to be identical with the release that he did. They still blame us for him leaving.
He made up ridiculous stories for why his updates were late, and told people to fuck off if they questioned him. Of course he never stopped taking monthly payments...
The truth is probably closer to the fact that he lost the support of his mods and closer supporters after lying to them about things like the 2.0 update not being the same as the alpha they tested.
About a month ago, he logged in to discord after being gone and started telling his discord cheerleaders that he's back and he'll work on his game 'in his own pace'. He said he was 'burned out'. So burned out you can't spend 5 minutes putting payments on hold eh? So burned out you can't tell your main patreon supporters? Even a month later?
Either way, his latest lie temporarily boosted his money to over $2000, but now it's dropped to nearly $1000 and he still hasn't posted that he's 'back'. Because of course, he isn't, and was hoping to screw the last people who believe in him.
