I am one of the patrons and we were told that he has some issues and taking a break. So, a little delay in updates. I can say that he has been a very communicative developer, so I wouldn't be upset by this. What happens for us, is our monthly "donation" gets suspended until he starts back up again. I would also say the designer of the Lust Academy series is very communicative-- weekly updates for us. Hope that helps everyone.
