Dont support Bane if you care about your money going to something that seems meaningful. The game has been in a state of Night 8s and Night 9s for years. There was a time he was double posting demo builds (one and the end of the month and one on the 1st). Builds kept saying "Added Night X" or "Edit texts for Nights XYZ" and later, a member was posting how many actual changes were being made and all were minimal at best (Less than 2000 text was changed or added every build). It got to the point were no major bugs were getting fixed and that the state of the game never progressed. All major character backers have left the project (Eterni, Malo, and Crome). Go back in the years and you will see messages like this from CasCatAss like in 2019 for Jack (https://www.patreon.com/posts/blackgate-build-32762942);

"Hi there cascatass here 

More Jack! Or less? 

Official changelog (since 0.124): 

0.127 - Jack Night 8 new scene with andras 

0.128 - Jack Night 8 


Real changelog:

 -Jack: Another "Night 8" for Jack (last was 0.111 - May/19), but it's just a split Night 7 file to have a Night 8 with the same two minutes reading at the end, but I'm pretty sure that this update broke Jack route: Bane did a mess with the files and two of them have the same label (CabinOfficerJackNight8) being 1 - the split of the old file and 2 - the "super" update. So have fun with another route broken that will never be fixed! - not to mention the uber double charge this month with only 30 minutes apart from each other too. 


Technical conclusion: 

All the backers paid twice this month for exactly [118] lines of new story (excluding blank, script, commentary, repeated lines for choices and text swaps). Personal conclusion: My wish for next year is this bullshit will end, because at this rhythm Blackgate will not last until 2021 (and I seriously do hope for it). Until there, check Bane2253 playing Hearthstone or other stuff while this thing rots to the bone. Happy New Year! 

PS: This text is copy-pasted with the pertinent changes from 0.93 to every odd "update". Complainments about the reasons for this = look at my previous comments. I'm not a broken record and don't reply to fanboys. Also, delays can occur for these notes because of time differences (or I'm busy)."

I suggest putting your money towards actual projects that are making progress.
