I once subcribed in Patreon to WVM, but chose to cease this when the updates never arrived. this was my choice, and my choice alone. i just want to make that clear before i get blasted.. i think this is a lovely VN, and i really want to see more content, but after over 12 months of the Developer having major issues in life, such as babies, and parting of the loved ones, i can understand the delays. i also understand that when you have a child, this throws your life into the blender. this really messes things up, and your mental train of thought goes completely out of the window. so i guess what i am trying to say, is that i get the Dev, he is in balls deep, and needs a break, without upsetting his fanbase.. but he is in too deep.. i would panic a little too... especially where thousands of dollars are being on the line, every month..
If it were me, and i am glad it is not... i would release what i had, leave for 2 weeks, then come back and continue no matter the outbursts. be proud that you had the balls to start this thing.. dont over pressure yourself to money.. just be... YOU...
