I met this game yesterday, it looks great. Fantastic renders for a 2017 game. The soundtrack combined with the aesthetics of the home menu is simply one of the best I've ever seen.
This game has a retro look, I like it.

Reading comments I've seen that a lot of people imply that he's milking .. but he barely gets $ 90 a month. Ok, the numbers may have dropped, but I wouldn't call milking someone who gets less than $ 1000 a month.
It's not like Gumdrop that gets 8k monthly.

obs: English is not my native language.

That's not really true if you actually think about it. Regardless if he's getting a little money or a lot of money; this guy has been promising his patreons this update for over a year now. Those of us who have been watching this play out since the start know this very well. He never keeps them updated about anything. He shows up every 3-4 months and promises them that the update will release and every 3-4 months it never happens. Does that really sound like someone that isnt milking? This guy is asking people to put their trust in him and use their hard earned money to fund his project, and he can't even keep them updated; let alone keep promises of a release date? Come on. Even with his most recent post when a patreon asked him about a release window guess what happened? That's right he's disappeared yet again with no responses. He only recently dropped this low in cash within the last 2 months. Back in April or May he was still making around $300 and by July he was still getting $150.

Whether it's $90 or $1000 a month; it's still free money that he's getting if he isn't delivering anything to them except broken promises and/or lies. People misunderstand that milking doesn't mean you have to make a ton of money; milking is just a process of keeping money coming in with little to no work involved. Obviously you want to milk for a higher amount if you can but free money is free money.

It's been a month now since his last/new Patreon update, and... of course, he's got nothing to show.

So he's contracting other artists and not paying them?
That would explain why the project is dead. Some of them might not be handing over their work until he pays them in full. You can only rip off so many people until others catch on.

Don't suppose you could PM me the history of some of the shadiness going on here?
Think it's time the Captain's Log expanded it's reach a little more...

Edit: Congrats to Aorrta for winning one of my 'Scam Dev' awards! https://f95zone.to/threads/dual-family-v0-98-ce-gumdrop-games.1870/post-2643233
