See, I've been checking in on it every few months for two years now and at this point I'm pretty sure he just wants to be an art streamer but doesn't want to lose any supporters by announcing that he's not actually working on the game.
The amount of people that pledge for just the game vs the amount of people that pledge for his art is pretty miniscule. You're going to have to try a different angle from the greed angle, since we've already established that's pretty severely unlikely.

Yea, wish there were separate patreons for the art and the game so the number can better reflect what's going on there. But I'm inclined to agree with Decckar; with how long the game's taken to update, the people donating solely for the game have probably already canceled their payments while those that haven't yet are likely content with his art.

It does suck. I had this similar situation with an equine artist that also wrote fanfiction porn and was great at both... but then he stopped writing but kept going on with the art.

Really not liking the popular centiment here.
Gonna sayit right now - I am not his patron or anything. I wanna see V3 and the full game as much as the next guy, but you're really not solving much by complaining here. Just repeatedly saying "this guy is too slow I regret giving him money" or "man I'm glad I didn't give him money in the first place" is just going to postpone the product even further.
If you're one of the patrons for this game and you're angry at production time - look at it this way:
If he is working on the game - your complaints really do make him feel bad and may at some point make him quit.
If he's not making the game - you've already lost your money and your complaints are just yelling at the void.
Instead of complaining, try to encourage him. Complaints just lowerour chances of receiving the actual game.
Once again - not a shill. I only wanna see v3
Couldn't agree more but mostly when it comes to free games (which to my understanding this is going to be a free game so the complaining is stupid and does nothing but kills motivation. If you wanna donate to him do so, if you don't? Then don't)

Last update was 2 years ago I think. Despite the bitching and moaning of the jobless basement dwellers, there are signs that Meandraco hasn't completely abandoned the game yet. However, there is no Eta for v3. It started that v3 would be ui improvements but it sounds like it's become more; likely due to people whining that it wasn't big enough of an update. Look for other games to play and check in on this one every few months. Unless you become disinterested, which is fair.
Everyone who keeps talking about his art I hope you know that before the game he was an artist and his old art was fucking phenomenal. Everyone trying to say that people are paying for the art streams are delusional as the art he does for his streams while good are fucking shit compared to what he is capable of putting out

It's became more sketches less art, quantity over quality. I am glad Meandraco has supporters than can donate over thousand dollars, but I kinda guess drawf fortress will arrive on steam sooner than his next update sadly.

This is the game's code when it's separated into flash layers. There's a lot of stuff and the code is spaghetti (although to what extent, he hasn't specified).

Kind of explains why it's been slow to update: it's just a massive pain in the ass to figure out.

Doesn't look "too" bad honestly. He should really ask someone to clean up his code a bit or focus on cleaning up himself if it's that big of a problem. It will only get worse with time. I'm sure there are people who would fix some of the rough parts in their spare time or who could give some quick tips and tricks from experience. It can really help if someone else just looks over your code and tells you what's wrong with it. But he probably won't do that because of leaks and spoilers.

At least it's not on the "yandere dev" level bad code.
