Not funny.
I normally don't chime in to tear devs down (Because they should all deserve our support to help push them to another level or to steer them in the right direction) but @sarge87 said it best that Arrota is a bottom tier dev consistently missing deadlines and destroying any trust he has with his patrons let alone any trust with F95. Apart from creating his trailer for his re-coded game, there's been almost no contact between him and his patrons. That astounds me and I'm still amazed that (At the time of writing) he still has close to 150 patrons considering the distrust he has. He has to deliver and deliver quality to rebuild the trust back.
However, as @sarge87 said, he has some great visuals so he has a keen eye but that alone doesn't make up for everything he's done wrong. With his lack of contact (Basically dead contact), I'd focus on other devs that are keen to showcase their abilities and keen their patrons in the loop.

I often find myself thinking along the lines something liken to a bait and switch. He releases some killer initial work, garners support, then you are left with the truth.. be nice to think otherwise
anyway, how is he still getting 300/month? people forget about all their $1 investments?

just curious if there's any news about that promised 2 months or sth ago update. Is Aorrta dead?
p.s. Yeah I've already read the last 3 pages and know that nothing's changed since then but lol it's been 3 months already and no news at all. What scammy Aorrta's been doing all this time?

His last Patreon update was October 28th. Just checked and he still gets roughly $350 USD gross per month from 140 patrons (Unless he was a decent dev and changed that to per creation but unlikely. Take home excluding taxes if he's decent enough to follow the law would be less).
With the way he and his team handle the small things, I'd be surprised if you hear anything before the new year. Normally I'd say that every dev has different circumstances and this isn't their main source of income but it's not the first time this has happened (Gone dark, missed deadlines, etc).

Today marks the 2nd month since Aortta should have released the update. The Dude went completely silent and still earns money. This totally disgusts me. I'm no mod/staff member, but isn't it finally time to add the " abandonned " tag to this thread ?

Nowhere near where it should be with a file of the size that they have. I made a post about it earlier on where most of it is their image compression leaving their HD/4k pictures uncompressed/not in webp but they are decent renders (Not sure on their set up/their team's set up. Long story short I'm estimating around 1.8gbs worth of uncompressed images/animations).
If you were to compare this to a DMD which is a fairly hefty file by itself, the content difference between the two is best described as "exponentially different".
