Yeah, that's the point of the monthly report--it's to provide transparency on what I do and the development pacing (which I also agree with you, it's slow. I also wish I could make it faster, trust me, I really do and I often meme about it on Patreon LOL) along with other things.
That's also why my Patreon is not mandatory. It's for people who wants to help me fund the game so I could commission artists and whatnot.
It's true, we don't get many assets used in game as of now, but it doesn't mean the money goes to my personal pocket. I just need you to realize that we are a team, I don't do this project alone, there's a sort of a dev report and everything, from how many funds we have left to what assets we haven't done yet.
Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's true. I don't mean this to be something provocative and/or condescending, I just want to reach an understanding with you, is all.
--- Edit, because you also keep editing LMAO ---
November 2022, actually! If you want to count Episode Parker (it's brand new), it's December 2022. I understand why you won't count it as a story update, but I believe Episodes are important for Day 10 to plays out smoothly, that's why everyone's getting their Episode 1 before day 10 (and why I'm also updating Lars' Episode 1 to provide more context and clues.)
I wouldn't say an Episode update is just stretching it as a filler content. It's as important as main story, because it connects to it. Without that, everything just won't make sense.
If it was a filler content, I wouldn't have wasted any minute on it when I could work on the main story LOL.
I'll quote-unquote one of the devs "Episodes are vital to the story."
No hate taken; if you're hitting me with a blunt weapon, it's only fair that I hit back with the same if not something sharper. It's the internet, like you said, haha.
The pledge on Patreon is entirely optional and the game will be free once it reaches the ending it deserves. I always pause the charge if I'm not working on anything--or I'll tell my patrons to pause their pledge when there's nothing new on patreon but I'm in a tight spot and need some help with money.
I do appreciate your comments, even though it could've been phrased better, but it provides something for us devs to talk about. But the way that you say that I'm milking is just, I don't know, kinda makes me feel a little bit sad LOL, not only me, but for both of us. I'm not asking for an apology; just thought I'd put it out here because I'm also human like you XD
