Wont even bother to give me one such game? cause i can give you a lot of bad exemples ! BIG Brother , New Coral City, those are games nearly completed that were reworked thus killing them.... So no , remake are either done early in development. Likely to keep patreon? kid you are a pirate member which likely never backed any patreon out there .... they lose patreon when they start shit like that , we dont want to pay 6-7 extra months ( if we are lucky ) just to get a similar experience.... but freeloaders here apparently have another opinion ( obv when you pirate a game and have many others here you dont care about patreons duh ) .I think some devs are *afraid* to finish their game, because of what happens next. What if they don't have an idea for a next game? What if they do have an idea, and it sucks? A thriving Patreon can evaporate if patrons don't like what you're doing now, no matter how much they loved your previous project.
Reworking, rewriting, remastering are ways to keep patrons more likely to hang around, risk-free. And editing an old thing is easier and less stressful than creating a new thing. It maybe isn't milking, just fear of being finished and having to prove yourself all over again.
Back on topic this game needs to be finished 1st if dev want anything else to do , cause how much brain you need to figure out that a game with nearly 23 updates , started in 2018 (5 years already ) , is bound to have old content that is not on par with recent updates.... 5 years you get new renpy versions, new assets , new pc spec, you expect all games within that time to remaster themselves? and you expect ppl to keep being patroen.... take the best exemple out there : Being a Dik , its simply the best exemple , its old , instead of remastering 1st season it chose to do a 2nd one than a 3rd one. Thats the ideea to get new games and new content ! not the same cold food you put in microwave and than sell it to ppl saying its good!
