I have a feeling this game is about to get abandoned based on how little he's been doing with it over the past year and a half on top of his increased radio silence as well as the last post he made hinting towards how he seems to no longer want to make this game. Only reason I see him not abandoning it is because he needs that money, so every 8-13 months, we may see a 100-300 render update just to keep patreon's satisfied.
In a previous comment a month ago I gave this project 6-8 months before being abandoned.
Now, after BD releasing a very disappointing update (and I'm not even talking about the amount of renders), then ignoring his promise to release another update soon after, and going radio silent, removing Patreons, etc, it seems to me it won't even take that long.
I don't have a strong feeling towards BD, I stopped supporting financially over 6 months ago and am not entitled to anything, I just honestly don't see how the man who can't mentally handle the wind blowing the wrong way could deal with all the (justifiable) negative feelings towards him while catching up on a bunch of work he couldn't handle for a year now, and even if he could - he wrote himself into such a mess story-wise, there's no going back even with the planned rework.
lately I mostly stuck around for shits and giggles, but that got a bit boring too. I seriously hope BD will be fair to his patreons and just officially abandon this one instead of milking it for as long as possible like some other devs, as I honestly believe BD is a reasonable person that just got in way above his head.
I may be completely wrong about everything and I'd be glad to find out that I am, but I doubt it.
