The dev is very uncommunicative and has a habit of disappearing without explanation for long periods of time. Officially, he has never justified his disappearances, and the rumors about the Russia war are just baseless speculations. The reality is that he's an inconsistent and unreliable dev. He promises delivery dates that he consistently fails to meet. In the past, he already abandoned the development of a game, and this latest update was released after he had been missing for over a year. Whether he will abandon True Bond or continue to update it (and when he will release a new version) is something only he knows.
as frustrating as it can be when devs don't communicate. i'd like to know (non-rhetorically) what's so difficult about an update post? even if it's just some text on where he's at nothing fancy.
is it that there's so little progress it's useless/embarrassing to make a post about? or dev doesn't comprehend the decency of communicating with his patrons?
if it's the former, then that's not dissimilar to milking your patrons because you can't be transparent
if it's the latter, there
are enablers/apologists within his patrons who say "whenever it comes out it will
" so dev has no reason to change his mindset or work ethic
any other viable reasons? im beyond jokes pls
