He is going to do an update this month 100%. He needs to deliver something to let this insane scam or whatever going on.
At this point, he knows the only people that will keep paying him are the long-standing patreons that didn't quit on him yet.
The plan is going to be: a release this month ( I doubt on the 13th or the 2500 renders he has promised for the last 10 months or so ), billing for April with the small chunk beta bs which is going to transform in another large chunk vs small chunk debate that will finish with another 400 render update in late summer, maybe August.
