This has always been the reality of these Itch game developers, but honestly though, can you blame them? If people decide blindly supporting someone like this is a good idea to do CONTINOUSLY then they kinda deserve to have their money taken, it's not like they really need it anyway.

he did put more sneak peeks up on his discord, so there is evidence of progress. and for your information, nsfw games have been under attack for awhile now by payment processors and such, a lot of "these itch game developers" are currently struggling because visa and mastercard have decided to wage total war against nsfw content even tho its 100% legal. wanna help? maybe instead of bitching, go on the discord, see if its okay to volunteer your time and skills to farmguy. if more people helped these indie developers, visa and mastercards efforts will be in vain.
but if you still wanna bitch and do no action to help the legitimate ones, then i can't help a fool.
Not sure what your point is, the issues I have stated were prevalent even long before the payment processor situation. Again, these issues don't affect me, if people are looking for a bottomless pit to throw money into, they will find plenty of them here. It just annoys me when they complain about the lack of results, like at some point I'd expect them to lear.
my point is you clearly haven't seen any of the previews or screenshots on the discord, and you clearly just want to bitch instead of, oh i don't know, maybe ask the status or volunteer your time? ya know, something more productive than bitching and moaning about how slow the updates are, and claiming its a scam without really doing research.
you expect corporate level frequency of updates from a solo developer. a SOLO DEVELOPER WHO MIGHT HAVE A LIFE THAT DOESN'T REVOLVE AROUND THIS GAME!
again, stop bitching and claiming something is a scam because you've done maybe the bare bones minimum of work and concluded, wrongfully, that its a scam, and instead volunteer your time or respectfully ask about the game. if you can't do either one of those, go back to steam and play something from ubisoft or paradox or activision where you will have your weekly or monthly updates. plenty of games can be labeled abandoned on here, not this one.
and before you say "i never said this was a scam"
"Again, these issues don't affect me, if people are looking for a bottomless pit to throw money into, they will find plenty of them here. It just annoys me when they complain about the lack of results, like at some point I'd expect them to lear." thats implying this is a scam.
people are rightfully concerned yes, but on discord apparently hes done a LOT of rework, and made the game perform better while adding hours to the game, and he posts screenshots of the game on the regular.
