Based on their progress to get to .6, I began supporting them on Patreon as they began prepping for .7. I wasn't thrilled about orc love (tiefling love perhaps, but not orc love), but I wagered that they would move through .7 at a comparable pace to .5 > .6, and I would soon be rewarded with .8 content. Today, I finally said enough was enough and withdrew my Patreon support. Say what you will about my hanging on too long, but hindsight is 20-20, plus it wasn't doing irreparable harm to my bank account to try to support them. Unfortunately for the developers, the world has changed a lot in the last two years. Creating a model that would allow AI to approximate if not replicate the WaL artwork is getting easier each day. Likewise, the number of people willing to pay for hand-drawn, bespoke art in their games is diminishing. Their sweet spot for completing the entire game is likely behind them, but ending the game with .7 is going to feel to their supporters as abrupt a head-on collision at 120 mph. I do not envy their plight, but I cannot support them strictly out of pity. There are too many competing opportunities in my life for charitable giving.
