There wouldn't be any "impatient, angry feedback" if you set the release date on 30th march in the first place. People are angry because they are waiting for update since January, saw multiple deadlines broken and there was barely any contact with them in the three months time. Calling people impatient for beliving your word is absurd and childish behaviour.
I agree and yet there are these people who love to defend the dev for irresponsible act from announced commitment release dates. So, I usually tag them as "THE GIRLFRIENDS'.
If they are so willing to wait for long months for bigger updates then why they can't just wait until the game finishes by year "2050". hahaha..
Who knows that this promised release "BEFORE THIS WEEKEND" again could be moved to another week or month. As I've seen it several times since January. What is something to think about is that Mrdots had managed to make it's second release from his 2 games and yet the update is still big, around 2-3 in game days within a month's time. So, another excuse from him is because they are a team? Not exactly the case, there are other one man team devs out there who can still release games every month with quality yet bigger updates better than this dev. The main problem is that he keeps making 2 games at once (waifu hunter) or could be more if he is using another alias on patreon to earn from another game ( a normal tactic for greedy devs) knowing that he can't focus to finish on one in a timely manner.
Well the sad truth is that this dev, is close minded. He does not accept negative feedback and criticism to improve. All he cares is to enjoy his earnings and relaxation. Yet there are these "GIRLFRIENDS or yet FANS CLUB" who are fine with it. So, lame.
