That still not reasanoble answer for price of that game, because demo still not exist for test, I understand if it was free version, and paid latest version, But you just drop game in early acces with price simmilar to done projects, like "Hotline Miami" series, or "Lethal Company". Also you don't answer about users who already buy game, they buy game in that version, or they will have future updates.
If we refereng to your old projects, they still abandoned, and they still cost money, this means that users can buy an abandoned unfinished project and at the same time also waste money, wouldn't it be better to make abandoned projects free, given the general earnings policy on patreon.
About models,sounds and etc. This is not a strong argument in favor of an inflated price, since the project is still raw, and as I mentioned earlier for $ 4 there are games and projects that are finished and also use the original assets.
Even though I find fault and try to challenge these arguments, my goal with regard to you is not toxic hate, but to improve the quality of the gaming industry and possibly improve the quality of this project.
