I don't want to denigrate what Shine has done so far but if we're really honest.
We can break down the current state of work fairly easily..

Things you can easily do in Unity (via tutorials, templates, or asset store purchases):
  1. Over the shoulder camera system
  2. Gun combat
  3. Basic enemy attack AI
  4. Inventory system
What you can't do easily OOTB (must be manually created in scripting):
  1. Animation system
  2. Basic objectives system
  3. Camera motion event triggers (Sewer Door Puzzle)
  4. Attack Events (Sewer Zombie Waves)
Everything else art related (Not hard just time consuming):
  1. Terrain
  2. Models
  3. UI
  4. Animations

Having said all that.. a single talented developer could recreate what we currently have probably in 2 weeks time (dedicated). So at this point, there does seem to be zero forward progress being made, at least to those outside of the Patreon circle, no telling what updates he's posting internally.
2 weeks if you know every development aspect like a pro. Even the best of these devs fall short in some category, making it hard for them to piece everything together unless they take their time or outsource.

I did say 'talented developer' - not your average joe who just plays around in Unity.
Problem is, any developer with that much experience is probably working a job already and doesn't need a side project like a porn game.

We get the game engine hackers. Some doing the quick cut and paste, held together with rubber bands and duct tape.
Or the ones that will take their time to do it properly, but slllloooowwww. Plus she lives in Russia, so sure that doesn't help. On the plus side, they haven't started recruiting women, yet.

Years later and the basecamp in the game is still the same undeveloped and empty as it was at the start. Guy tells me to go rest before next mission and I REALLY don't wanna play in the dark, but how can I? When there is NOTHING to rest at/in. No bed, no nothing. All houses, except for the gun range, are empty. Plus I'm supposed to take a better gun to the next mission, but how can I when it's so expensive I can't afford it even with doing the girl's scrap quest? The future of this game doesn't look good if the dev can't be a-sed to take care of the BASICS.

Also, crouching doesn't work, so I can't sneak. Or maybe there is just more to it than just binding a key and holding it.

Last Post on Patreon was December 2022. Someone should mark this game as "abandoned".
Heh.. we don't have to be like Swiss watches.
I would leave some tolerance there for +- a few weeks. Maybe it'll break. Although I'm not counting on it personally anytime soon.
