What are you talking about? Lmao, the game is far from being finished. Hyao still has lots of loose ends to complete xD. Why do you believe he would leave Lustful Desires in this condition?
Hyao mentioned that he was skipping the February update here because on January we got 2 updates instead of 1 (putting us at the same patch version as the Patreons).
On Patreon he did make an update last month, and while this month's is late (by one day), it has been like that pretty much every time.
I get what you mean. That happened to me while I began to follow Marcus´ progress with Eldet. Something happened and he stopped the project... Its annoying you know, I lost 20€. The kickstarter campaign received enough funding and the start was good but yeah... he stopped. I think he was under a lot of pressure. A shame. The VN looked pretty good.
That said, I trust Hyao can complete LD. He´s made a lot of progress so far.
