itch.io

I hate to break it to you, but that doesn't prove a thing.  The fact remains that this has been "in development" for longer than a year with absolutely nothing to show for.  People get a lot more pissy than what's been posted on here over things that get neglected for far less.  You should go check out some of the other projects going on with itch.io.  Most only take about 2-3 months at best to begin having even worse comments than these appear, excluding the HSPV (whatever the hell that is/was) circus act that went on, so you can post copies of devlogs all you want, still does not take away the fact that nothing is being or getting done and further proof, as if any were needed, is the fact YOU posted it rather than the actual DEV himself, and I do pity anyone silly enough to still be paying this guy's Patreon at this point.  This guy literally just ignores you, so why would you or anyone else keep paying him contributions?

Dev has had plenty of time to "breathe" as you say.  13-14 months to be exact and why is it such a shock to you or anyone else that people are asking and wondering what is going on?  If a dev is still struggling to breathe or still underwater after more than a year then he's obviously not capable of maintaining a project and needs to call it quits, which it pretty much already is.  Devlogs don't change a thing, especially if they keep coming and promising updates from WAY back since like April, then October, then November and now here you show up with these links to all these devlogs, and with "more coming" as you say.  Kinda loses all it's credibility, but you know, maybe I missed something with all that.  Here's some breaking news for you my man, devlogs, they mean nothing.  They been posted for a year straight and have all led to... you guessed it, a BIG NOTHING.  So why should anyone be interested in a devlog at this point, much less actually go and read one?

Bottom line is this is one of, if not the, most neglected project that I have seen, and it literally doesn't have to be that way.  All you have to do is just release what you have in the form of decimal updates so that interest can be kept in your project, like only nearly every other dev on itch.io or literally anywhere else does.  Instead, what's been done has only been a great way to destroy whatever base he has/had built up, man.  Come on, even you have to admit going this long is just utterly ridiculous, and it's not like graphics here are state of the art or anything that require "all this super advanced time consuming totally brand new tech" upgrades to generate.  It's just utter nonsense and total BS used to conceal the fact the dev is doing nothing except milking his Patreon supporters for everything possible.

A lot of devs do that, and it's very easy to spot those that do if you can read between the lines and have a functioning brain.  And what we have right here is a classic example of one doing so.  While the game may be "free" why don't you take a look at how much monetary support each month is drawn on his Patreon.  Multiply that by times 12 and, unless you're one of those who can't see anything unless it literally hits you in the face, there it is right there - he drew that much, and didn't do a damn thing.

It's a joke.
