Well, I shouldn't spoil it for you then... you should probably catch up. A lot has happened since the brawl at the bowl.:)
Not really sure I want to. At least not yet. Maybe when 14 full is complete. I've got others I'm still workin on.

Braindrop on discord:

Going to repost what I just put in the patreon comments:

Sorry guys, I'm in my own head right now.

Something about the update just feels off and I need a little more time to figure it all out. I thought it was all good to go when I gave the target date but as it got closer I started to freak out.
I just need to sit with it a little longer, I'm going to finish this last bit I'm working on for it and then let it rest for a moment. I think part of the problem is that I've just been staring at it for too long.

I'm going to go ahead and begin work on Episode 14 and work on some of the side content in the meantime.
I hope it will only be a few more days but I'm rescinding the targets right now.

Even if I still hit my goals for this month I will be pausing pledges for March. I only unpaused this month because I thought everything would be smooth.
Once again I apologize for the wait. I'll update you all as soon as I have new info to share.
The rise and fall of this man still blows me he was the most consistent dev for 3 years of the games life. Than some how he fell off harder than incestor.

In my experience greedy people never make excuses for why they're ripping you off.

Not that I feel ripped off, I'll just wait until an update drops and if one never comes oh well plenty of other fish in the sea.
Uh ? In the world of gaming especially , it's all the greediest publishers and devs do . Among many examples from them and others , did you not see recently Ubisoft going on about their latest game "Skulls and Bones" (which is crap btw) being worth 70 dollars because it's AAAA , a game that can't even provide 1/3 of the experience from its 11 years old predecessor ?

so does greed
Imma be the Devil's advocate here just for a second. If it was just greed, wouldn't it be in his best interest to continue making the game? Constant, quality updates is what got people to the table to begin with. Just "Greed" isn't the answer here, unless he is secretly working on a separate project on a completely separate Patreon, and half-assing two (or more) games at the same time and collecting multiple Patreon paychecks.

Yeah, just greed doesn't sound right. Laziness is more like it. If he expects to get X payout for Y effort, but realized he can still get 25% of X for 1% of Y, then the path of least effort still ends up being lucrative.

I believe he got hit with burnout. He was putting so much content weekly in the beginning that he was probably working like 16 hour days for that much. Either that, or he had a huge backlog before he started posting the game.

But he can't walk away now, because that's his passive income source now (lol)

The only thing that makes sense to me is that he said a season 1 rework would be done by early 2023, and a year later it still isn't here. He's been releasing content for season 2 at a steady albeit often delayed pace in the meantime. Perhaps he's simultaneously reworking season 1 while releasing content for season 2, and getting burned out doing it.
I don't really think there's too much of a greed factor in play, since I'd be willing to bet that he's lost a lot of subscribers over the last 1-2 years, and he hasn't changed the way he does anything in order to retain them or win them back, and he keeps pausing the monthly payments when things don't work out.

Maybe I'm being too much of an optimist, I don't know.

Let's not get into his work and whatnot, everyone has their opinion and posts about it, same with the pauses (there was someone mentioned that as he posted an unpause happened and he was charged. Not sure how that works, so I don't wanna go into that).

For the sub count, it actually increased over the last year. Even from last month if you check this graph and what his patreon shows currently:
