Did you just multiply $7500 by 0.22 to get $1650? You should google how marginal rates work before scolding other users on their knowledge of taxes.
Yes I've heard of the marginal tax but money from Patreon classifies as Self Employment.
And with that said 22% was wrong it would actually be 15.3% for Self Employment, 12.4% for Social Security and 2.9% for Medicare.

The lack of updates isn't even that weird. Most of the most popular games on this site only update like once a year. Never understood why people care to make a big deal about it here or on any other thread. Then you just add on the maternity leave and yeah it's going to take a bit longer. Just go do something else there are like hundreds of other games on this site
The fact one update a year is the normal in this site doenst make it right,they are alot of hungry devs who actually try to release stuff as often as possible.

I think there are as many as four reasons for the slow progress:
1. A second baby arriving. Looking after two babies must eat up a lot of time, and exhaustion from interrupted sleep at night can't help.
2. From their posts on their Patreon, they are clearly perfectionists.
3. Chestnut produces all the art from scratch, rather than use an art package. This does mean that it's much higher quality, the outstanding feature of the game IMO.
4. There's just the two of them. As a married couple, I can see why they don't want to bring in anyone else, as it would greatly change their work dynamic.

Yeah and most of those updates are small ones that can be finished in like an hour with only a couple of new scenes.


Games that update frequently typically have short updates, games that update like one a year typically have more content per update. That's exactly what this game has been for the past 3 updates. One big update once a year that finishes a character's storyline. Like I said I don't get the big deal. If you are that tired of waiting just play a different game. I see comments like these on pretty much every thread and I don't really understand them. I could get it if the updates were irregular and often short but they're not

I'm only guessing here but it could be just a way to release some accumulated frustation, some people are just better at dealing with it than others or can simple "mind trick" themselves to not suffer from not having whatever they are waiting delivered to them as soon as possible or are just like you and understand that waiting don't emply to seat in front of their devices until the moment they get what they want and can just make good use of that time to do something else, maybe in the end is just better to let them have their moment and not make both sides acumulate more frustation for no reason with unecessary arguments.

I mean 2 of those points are fair enough not in there own control, two are but regardless this update is clearly starting to hurt where it matters most, there wallet.

Yeah, 2 years is kind of unacceptable, but the update is like 95% finished. Summertime Saga is in 80% with much more people working on it.
i agree but summertime is different story its very old game and they have finished the game long time ago the updates are harder to make since they run out of ideas but this is hasn't even reached v1.0 yet so they should have written enough story and planning for the full game by the first year and that too generous as well first biggest BS is planning in the weekly report the f is that what are you planning for in 2 years even in 1 year

It feels terrible to wait so long for an update to this game, but knowing that their Patreon supporters gave them the green light for this kind of update cadence, well... you can't be mad at anyone else other than the whales that seem to possess no financial intelligence whatsoever.

If they didn't finance this type of behaviour, then we wouldn't even be in this mess, now would we? But I understand that it is easier to blame the people that you can actually interact with, as opposed to the faceless mass of folk with seemingly bizarre amounts of disposable income.
