Yeah taking a 2-month break while the update is supposed to be done or nearly done never bodes well, whatever the dev may say.

Not even if they also stopped their way of making income? Give the man the rest he needs, without the feeling of pressure to upload an update. The previous weeks of lack of progress already says a lot and it may just have been because his busy or his burnt out. Either way please refrain from the disappointment or dissatisfaction talks cause I honestly don't want this game to be abandoned due to the dev feeling fed up of the work and from his audience as well.

Wow, I also want to interrupt, this type of game can appear because of the very low limit of the various platforms, which leads to almost everyone can create a game and release on the platform, but we all know that many games stop updating in the middle of production, and even many games stop at the 0.1 version. I understand that, because single-player development takes a long time and it's easy to lose enthusiasm and all sorts of things along the way, but I think more of the problem is the lack of management of a creator platform like Patreon, where we subscribers don't have a direct and full contract with the author, which leads to the platform, creators, The subscribers are in conflict with each other, and it would be nice if there were a way to reach an agreement among the three parties and implement it.

You need a 2 month break? Wrap the game up, release it, THEN go on a break. I wish I'd tell my employer I'm taking a long ass break and finishing the work when I come back.
Love the game though so you do you. I better get back to mine before I get fired.

Well that's the point Baibai has no employers.

I mean, people can be sad or frustrated that no update rolls out, but we can at least respect the dev for stoping subscriptions. Making a game solo like that is like becoming a one man army. I see no milking here.
As for, will the game ever see another update ? With so many other games abandonned the same way than this one... It's a shame and I only wait to see one day the dev proving I was wrong.
I think this thread should receive a tag on-hold, whatever the words used by the dev, a minimum 2 months of not working on the game, without date on when the progress will resume is on-hold to me.

It was about two pages at the time of my comment but sureIt's always that one ..., who misreads the message, ignores the entire context of previous 6 pages of this thread and just says some random abstract meta bullshit.
The second a creator capitulates to torches and pitchforks it creates a slippery slope and they lose creative control over their work

Someone was late to the party, huh?
The update will be at the date of next release.
Jokes aside, I understand people don't want to read an entire thread,I also don't, but at least make a small effort to read the last page. It may not be on purpose, but sometimes it gets really tiring seeing people spam "when new update?", no offense.
While I understand your sentiment, as I'm also pretty vocal about scams around here (I even got nearly banned at some threads for calling out devs), at the same time this dev till now was fair about possible delays besides this specific patch. The fact that he also halted payments should also show goodwill from him, and personally I don't think it's fair to make judgements of a dev because of others.
I understand the doubts due the scam histories on this website, but if you are aware of that, and you are vocal about that, then you should also be aware of possible red flags... And besides the issues with this update he was always very down to earth.
So yeah, while I understand the feeling, it also isn't fair for a dev to be called out only because of that. The quality and frequency of releases, the engagement with the fans, the down to earth mentality and the freeze of payments should also be taken into account... And that to me shows seriousness at least.
If for some reason the game indeed gets abandoned, then we talk. But for now be patient pls, while I'm also disapointed for the delay, and I somewhat dissgree with the dev's decision of delaying even more, this so far isn't giving hints of scam as you're implying to.
And trust me, I'm also very vocal to possible scams, to the point of calling out devs who create a new patron after abandoning a project and receiving money from both at the same time. But this one isn't showing that... Yet.
As a sub for BaiBai, I started to notice a trend during the last few dev weekly updates when it was supposed to be done and yet no progress was being made. The update was supposed to come out end of July, but he did not want to rush himself since he wanted more time. I am conflicted with my thought since I don't get the feeling BaiBai is milking his subs like other much more egregious devs, but him supposedly being almost done with update 0.9 time and then having 3 weeks of dev update with nothing being done doesn't bode well. I get making games is hard and RL situations happens but I get the feeling that things are not going well for the dev. It could be burn out, loss of passion, sicknes or family drama that can be causing an issue but I am just speculating here. If the update does not come out by end of October than I have a strong feeling the game will be abandoned.

I came back and see the thread on fire was expecting something juicy. But It was just some people bitching about a decent indi dev taking a break to handle some irl issue(he stopped the patreon btw). Kinda lame
Stop bitching about other people's complaints.

If people can bitching about the dev's decision I don't see why he can't bitching about those people's complaints lol
.If you have a problem with people writing something or disagreeing with you, you might not want ot be in a Forum.
