Devlogs being locked by Patreon paywall is ok-ish I guess, but players like me (broke ass) can't really tell how much progress the update has, maybe you could compromise a bit and just show the percentage? Like how other games show the current progress of the games development so even us the F2P fans can have an idea or something, about how the update is doing?
P.S. Purely my opinion, no hate is being given here.
Dev posts some free ones every now and then so it's always worth checking Patreon every 2-3 weeks. Though it IS only $2.50 a month which isn't too much but that's kinda hypocritical of me to say because I'm... not subscribed either...
I mentioned it in my response to someone else, but I estimate it'll be out soon. Either July or August... Maybe later than August depending on difficulties encountered. Though I do have to agree that some form of basic tracker would be much appreciated. Gives a rough estimate of how long it'll take.
Though at the same time it's difficult to estimate work that is yet to be done. I mean how would he know how many words the next update will have when he hasn't written them yet? Or maybe he just gets locked into a loop of adding more stuff to the next update so it stays stuck at 90% for a month or two? He'd pretty much have to have the whole thing already planned out with a designated endpoint to avoid any of the complications with it. Plus maybe the tracker could be seen as a sort of schedule? I know some people get stressed about deadlines and he could be one of them, maybe he'd get stressed cause he didn't add a 1% to the tracker somewhere or something.
Idk, I think at this point I'm just rambling about nonsense, it'd still be nice to actually see some indicator of the progress being made tho. Maybe just make every 3rd devlog free? Or do a quick free follow-up only containing the rough percentage? Something like "~73% done, give or take"
