Thanks, that should be enough, they see that by not releasing they are losing patreons...

From 9000 a month to a little more than 6000. It's something...
6K a month for doing nothing is a lot. They basically got their parental leave paid by patreons. 5000-6000 is still way more than the average salary, even after Patreon's cut. And for an average salary, you know, you have to actually work...

LOL i even forgot the update was about Gomira. Imagine its been two years in development and we get 3 scenes with orc pussy and they call it a day- then another 4 years in development. Its almost laughable how slow these devs are. Like snails with fucking asthma. Are they using an iMac from 2003? That would explain the 6 months wait for bug fixes in a goddamn renpy game. Holy shit dude.

I guess slow and steady wins the race when it comes to scamming your supporters!
Didn't Chestnut and Pistachio get a kid like 1,5 or 2 years ago? I imagine raising a kid will already kill most of your free time. But yea, it sucks that it all takes so long. I will keep huffing that hopium tho that the update is gonna come.

Yes, or at least is what many members already had mention that situation a couple of times even the situation regarding health issues that resulted in the necessity of a surgery for of the devs. Of course, as you sould expect this is still not enough to appease the frustration of many fans and even less the haters.

Because they're in the polish phase now. Look at the "Total polish" bar, not the "Total content" bar. "Total content" won't go to 100% until "Total polish" is finished.

Are there any patreon subscribers that can tell us what the progress on the next build looks like?
You don't need to be a patreon subscriber to see the progress. You can see it on their Discord or at

I totally forgot about this game, to find it today and seeing it hasn't been updated since the last time i played it, what is taking them so long, they better be making a good size update otherwise doesn't justify the wait.

It's been explained several times in the thread. It basically boils down to: 1) largest update yet, 2) devs had another child, 3) Pistachio had two hip surgeries and needed time to recover.

As a dev you have a couple of options if something IRL prevents you from doing work on a game that's receiving monthly subscriptions:
  1. Pause automatic transactions until you're able to continue working on the game
  2. Outsource the work to someone else with a revenue split (i.e. 30-70)
  3. Work through it
However, there is no incentive for these two to change their current workflow since they still make more per month than most people in the US. While I'd love to be proven wrong, I have a strong suspicion that this update will be permanently stuck in the "polish" phase since it's easy to just arbitrarily change the numbers to reflect any amount of progress.

Why was the game abandoned? I don't understand.
Da Rulz of this site.
3. Prefixes

  1. On-hold: used for a developer who temporarily stops working on a game for whatever reason and makes a clear public statement about it, if they do not resume work in 6 months the prefix is changed to Abandoned.
  2. Abandoned: used in the following cases:
    • The developer states that the development has been permanently suspended.
    • After 3 months of inactivity from the developer's public creator/crowdfunding accounts (Patreon, SS, etc), we will resolve special circumstances or scenarios on a case-by-case basis (no creator accounts, creators developing for free, Patreon accounts under review/ban).
    • No game update has been released for an abnormally long period of time (>18 months).
    • Game threads that are marked On-hold for over 6 months with no game update.
    • Note: this prefix is only removed upon the release of a new update for purchase/download.

Oh well, I guess I'll download the 6.02 and then call it a day with this.
Been sitting on 5.01 for a long while (and playing lots of other games where updates come every month or so)

This, all of this. If you can't maintain your original promised pacing, stop taking money from people until you can.
