Make ur own game then
Rather than making his own game, he needs a tutorial on how to leave a proper negative review.
This one is far too personal and doesn't have a grain of constructive criticism or areas to improve upon, which means it gets discarded as random trash-talk from a hater, regardless of the game being good or bad.
Or maybe, people are tired of hearing regurgitated excuses month after month after month from a guy who clearly doesn't even have any interest in his game at this point.
That's what some people call a clue. But this is itch.io and literally the land and home of the blind leading the blind which is why we have clueless comments like this.
And as I said - I just took a look at what there already is and it's pretty good.
If what's there is all we're getting, then that's a shame but doesn't make it any worse.
By default, I do not expect a game that goes into Hiatus to resume anyway - that's just setting yourself up for disappointment. Especially free games.
And that is a big issue why?
This is a free playable game. It works well enough. I don't care what the dev does right now.
EDIT: Tho I will remember to check if his Patreon is paused as he said it was at the end of the month. Just on principle.
Only reason I ever bothered to speak up here is cause the negativity in here is so overkill it makes me nauseous.
But whatevs - I'm not particularly interested in getting further involved - I said my piece.
I'm pretty sure the Patreon page mentions it's on Hiatus - so no payments are actually billed until it's status changes back to 'active'...
EDIT: I'm not actually sure about that, seems to have changed a couple times? Ask one of the 144 People still in it if they're being billed I guess?
Looked it up in his most recent post, it's clearly intended to be paused anyway:
"And as always, I'm not going to take any Patreon payments until 0.4 is out (I'll temporarily suspend my Patreon at the end of each month until then)."
Joined on the 1-dollar tier out of sheer curiosity - I'll know for sure if it's got payments paused by the end of the month ;P
PS: That last line was utterly unnecessary. Itch is a free community, *most* games here - including this one - are available for free and anyone who feels so inclined can post their creations on it. The quality of the devs - and their work - is in no way guaranteed and should be judged on individual basis.
the patron page mentions each month every month it is in developement. i know it is hard but try to keep up, that has gone on for YEARS.
and you joined the patreon anyway? LOLOLOL!!!!!
do tell me more about the patrons and it coming soon while you stay signed up for months and months and months while the same garbage is puked up every month. this is comedy gold
You can quit a Patreon subscription any time. 1 dollar to find out the truth is a price I'm perfectly willing to pay.
Also, I have known games 'in development' for well over a decade. Who eventually still got completed. It's called a free-time hobby project of someone with a full-time job.
If he actually isn't charging on Patreon, then it will be a good reminder for when he ever does release an update.
