It was delayed from this week to Dec. 10.
JAJAJAJAJA
I don't know why I'm not surprised. Why don't they just delay it until February? Because Christmas is coming up and I doubt they'll feel like doing anything on vacation, they'll want to visit family and friends. I wonder if this game will ever reach a 1.0 version XD

Once the total polish reaches 100% I am waiting for the dev to go into hiding.
It doesn't look like it, I don't think so. I think that if they had disappeared they would have done so already, without saying anything else or "updating the progress". It's what I would have done if my intention was to scam the patrons, one day, stop writing on patreon and disappear. I would create another account, with another game and that it would look completely different from the previous one and so on. And if you think that if it suddenly disappears people would suddenly stop paying the patreon, I think not, people are stupid, and even so they would continue paying with the hope that one day they will return, an example would be The Day Before, to this day there are still those who think that the fault of the failure of the game was the reviews. I mean, there are people who even if the scam blows up in their face will still not want to accept that a scam hit them in the face.

In WAL, if that is their intention, they are dragging it out too long. I don't think they're going to run away with the money (I hope so, there are too few porn games like WAL for it to disappear without being finished), but I do think they're dragging this out too long, or maybe they're just really unlucky XD

I think there would be less annoyance for the delay if the status update wasn't there. The graphs and timelapse have clearly shown it to be bull****.
If any other category were steadily rising I'd agree but with debugging it makes perfect sense. You discover new bugs as you try to fix stuff and if you do it wrong you can make new bugs faster than you fix them. The status tells me "the game's done but it's a buggy mess that we hope will only take a couple weeks to fix".

It makes perfect sense if the dev has no idea how software development should work. It's more than apparent that his architectural decisions, where for example a small modification in a text shown in a dialog results in a lot of refactoring, are a bunch of *really* bad ideas.

I work in QA and trust me the reports that we have been getting are not real world results. Its been explained in more detail if you scroll through the thread.

The issue isn't the graphs, it's the constant lies.
If they had just said from the start that "next update in 2 to 3 years" people would have grumbled at first then accepted it and moved on or sat and waited. But the devs knew that if they had been honest from the start a lot of people would have canceled their sub so instead they string people along with a constant "just two more weeks!" and now nobody believes anything they say anymore.

The chart is just a visual representation of the real problem, the dishonesty.

Yeah, well, except they never said anything like "just two more weeks!", quite the opposite. They never knew this update was going to take them this long, but they did inform back in October 2022 they'd be working slower and, since then, they have been constantly shutting down people's expectations about the update being close to be released. Many months ago it became obvious that the progress tracker was just a way to let people know they were still working on it, as it was no longer useful as a tool to predict when they update would be released -and that's devs' fault, of course, as a result of their poor planning and even poorer performance during this period due to a number of reasons, which is something they have publicly admitted several times, including this very same week.

Actual patrons did actually understand all of this and they've been acting accordingly, staying or leaving as they saw fit. It's only trolls and bad informed people in this forum who keep insisting in false claims like yours.
