I'm a $5 patron and the excuses are starting to raise my suspicion slightly. Another developer I support has a similar number of followers on Patreon, but somehow managed to produce more than 3000 renders in about 3 months. Of course, I don't expect anywhere close to that high level of productivity, but momma didn't raise no sucker either. It's still early in the making of True Bond, so I'm giving Cloudlet time to get his shit together. One thing I would do is avoid announcing premature release dates, because it erodes trust when they are missed. I'd just wait until I know everything is done, then announce the release the night before.

Summer heat? Where does he live, California, the Sahara?
I would've guessed he was Russian, just because most devs are Russians.
Anyway, this gets so much attention because the quality of the game generated a lot of expectation for this update, so even if the excuse sounds like bs really, the dev will continue to be supported; as long as he won't kill his own credit.

I think he means his laptop is over heating, probably has older one & the cooling fan can’t keep up with the hard drive racing and then if it overheats the laptop will shutdown to prevent fire, but you knew that already

Release delayed due to unforeseen stuff(mainly summer heat slowly killing my pc)
Hi, everyone! Unfortunately I have to delay the release, sorry about that. Working on it every day. Can't give an eta because it can be 2 days or 2 weeks, not up to me, it's the weather. My pc is going into fly away mode just from being on standby because of the heat. Still progressing and will release soon, just not as soon as I would've liked to. Sorry.
Thank you for your support and for your patience. Stay safe out there!

Putting release dates is a good thing imo as it ensures your Patreon subscribers that you will actually release new updates and not scam the shit out of them by going several months without an update. The trust turns to zero if you can't keep your word to your subs though, or if the updates are barely 5 mins of playing time.
Lets pony up and send him a window unit to help cool his Computer. They are only about 175 these days. Maybe we can get a few free months at the higher tier. Im all all about this next release, especially since I'm a new patreon of his.

Not if the developer provides a detailed development log every week showing where the project is at and the work he's doing. That way supporters see the consistent progress right up until the end and you know an update is coming without fake ass empty promises.
the Dev is a junky ... his using the money to buy drugs
guys would you send me the link where you download this game. I tried everywhere but it was downloading the file to me in VLC media player

"Release delayed due to unforeseen stuff (mainly summer heat slowly killing my pc)"; last post on patreon.
I do not understand the meaning of this notice published because I wonder how it can be possible that a dev starts such a project with insufficient pc?, I he notices it right now ??.
Can't find an explanation, I'm limited, perhaps due to the same reason "the summer heat" ...
But, I smell oblivion ...

he already abandoned one game he started so this might be another one...

Dude, is this the first time of you using a computer? For example here :
https://f95zone.to/masked/mega.nz/7...3NFAXt.5wGaaNa10jNlvFoxyvpZd1iNUlRcG9EHNgs278
You need an archiver to extract the files, for example 7zip or winrar
